Congrats Deathstroke fans, you've got a piece worth of putting in your collection.

I don't know the character suits that much, but has the orange side always has a short sleeve with a white under shirt thingy?

Nope. Kind of strange IMO. That's actually not my first or second favorite suit of his. It will do for now though.

This one looks good but I’m concerned with display options. Due to the angle anything lower than eye level and you won’t be able to fully appreciate this one, best I can tell.

Yep this one will need to be set at eye level or higher.

Seems prices for this line are starting to go up, this one is about $50 more then the first 3 SpecFiction Sold (Flash, Aquaman & WW)… I got all those for around $430 ea... Deathstroke costs $480... That said the detail work is a lot more involved then say TH Superpowers line, which are about $180 cheaper... Plus with XM you get more switch outs.... to me that justifies some of the added costs...

I wonder why retailers are charging more when its 599 SGD, just like all the other releases in this line.

I think you have to pay higher shipping from XM, where it's usually free or very cheap from other shops. Price probably evens out either way. Or are prices going up?

I think XM charges like $100-150 for shipping, whereas SpecFiction is only charging $4, so in the end SpecFiction is the better price.

These are still carrying a universal license on this DC line, so shipping to the US should be much cheaper. If it's not, the seller might be trying to take advantage.

Somehow the shipping cost from XM needs to get reduced. I don't know how ...but somehow. I feel shipping cost is really raining on XM's parade.

Yup, you have to REALLY love the XM piece over a SS one to pay hundreds more to ship.
