I do like the skin tone, the hair and the bruises on this piece. Hell I'm wondering if the veins have that bluish hue to it.

Just to reiterate, skin tones has not been an XM problem. Some of the characters haven't been as detailed but that is a conscious company decision...not a lack of skill decision. Also, keep in mind XM does as much as the factory can replicate.
I've brought more details up to XM (Star Wars for instance) and the limitations of factory paint ups (super details) is one of the reasons. Once again, these are not based on realisitc people (Wolverine for instance), so their comic based paint apps where applicable are fine.
I do agree with wanting more details that are more oversight than anything else (Black Cat hair, freckles and grime on little Anakin, etc.) However, it needs to be said that XM has great details on some of their characters where it is warranted (Punisher scrapes and bruises on portrait, Vulture wrinkles and pores on portraits, etc.)
I do think this Weapon X will see even more improvement in that realistic skin and department that some including myself would like to see....I know that XM is putting extra oomph to this piece and it will be a showcase piece for them at STGCC.
