For myself, the SS version conveys more menace and mayhem, giving it a more immediate, dangerous presence. As super villains should be.
OR!

SS Sabes is rearing up for a very massive chest bump!

SS suit looks better compared to XM now that I saw the photos next to each other. SS more realistic and detailed where XM looks more cartoon and smoothed out.

(Stealing your comparison pics, Peedi)

We've got two solid Sabretooth entries here. Personally, I'd give the edge to XM. I feel the base works perfectly with other SS villains (Mystique, Magneto, Juggs). Also XM's gives me the impression that Victor Creed is more than just brute power. He looks more agile and is closer to the "contract killer" vibe I grew up reading.

SS is definitely more "beast mode" out in the wild having just killed and eaten a deer. And I like that version from time to time. However, Martin crosses the line for me. I can't speak to anatomy but the proportions look more like a Hulk statue. I preferred his first two takes on the character's physique (the 1st PF and the diorama).

Of course the XM will be much more $$$ than SS. So that does play a role in people's buying habits. I won't be buying either because I can't commit to both DC and Marvel PF series anymore.

I'm hoping I can wait until I see pics of both beside other 1/4 like Juggernaut and Magneto...I'm a little concerned XM's will look dwarfed because of his pose(head on) but think they're both awesome. SS=9/10 XM=9.5/10 based on pics

Both have there plus/minus, the XM does seem to have the advantage. But unsure i want to spend the XM prices, i may go with SS just for budget, plus he isn't my fav character that i feel I should go all out on.

Lol! That's actually a set of muscles, but that's funny.
