As Hellboy said...all these switch-outs were totally unnecessary and just pushed the price up to an extreme level.


You can only display 1 head and 1 Dawg at a time.

I'd rather do without all the switch-outs on this statue and pay far less.

And now think about if they reduce it to the one Dawg, one head and one arm you don´t wanted. You can´t please everyone.

Actually I think you could please everyone by simply offering two versions. A regular that takes the most popular single configuration and a more expensive deluxe version with all the switch out offerings for those that don’t mind paying more for the additional options.
With their new MTO system it’d be pretty easy to implement and gauge interest in each version too. In doing this you could also lift the “XM Exclusive” tag and make it available to retailers so customers outside of their region don’t get hit with exorbitant shipping charges.

Interestingly enough, literally as I made my last post, Spec Fiction put this up for pre-order. $790 + $60-80 for US shipping. Surprised to see him have it as I was under the impression as an XM Ex it was only going to be available direct? Either way I pre-ordered as that price was my ceiling. So I’m pleasantly surprised and happy with this result.

Oh wow, $790 plus shipping. I thought it would be $999 like the Iron Studios one. Not bad. This is a huge piece!

Maybe in a world full of pink unicorns. There will be never two versions for an XM Exclusive.

I visit the SGCC 2019 in singapore next december. If i buy there an XM Event Exclusive i get it, even if i´m from europe. I don´t know with how many contacts he get´s his statues w/o a official license. The only official distributor is GFX in the USA.

You know, you're really unbearable with the way in which you ENDLESSLY defend XM Studios. You have absolutely zero objectivity whatsoever and it's hard to take anything you say seriously.

People can appreciate the pictures you post and fine....whatever. But either find a way to understand/acknowledge when someone has an issue with something XM does or just stop running to their defense 1000% of the time. It's nauseating.

I placed my order with Spec Fiction as well. The lower price on the piece plus very reasonable shipping made the decision easy since I was already sold on the piece.
