Oh I agree, but that thread is fun to mess around with the "" Hardcore Fanboys ""

They get all bent out of shape so easily

As far as options...you as well as others have the impression the extras are adding on to the price of the statues and that simply is not true. That is a big presumption. How is it that Captain American and Black Widow have tons of options, but Hulk only has 1 switch out head? The packages are still huge. Captain America is a huge package. Now if you look at it like that....you might have a different perspective.

And another thing....I guess you can say XM statues cost $800...but that is in other territories outside of the four XM can't sell directly to. If you were in the four territories, you can get the statues for $500 - $600 and for tons of extras, high quality mats (solid not eggshell thin), primo QC, solid packaging, and in IMO the best AD in the business right now.....that's what makes a collectible PREMIUM.
Well said Loric, and xm is looking like some of their extras will have their own decorative stands to display the extras which is niceā€¦ Sideshow doesn't do this so another reason to justify XM's prices! You get a lot of pack for your punch with these collectibles...

Hey Sarah. It's nice to see you coming over to XM and getting invested in their awesome work. I think they are really making some great statues with a lot of heart and soul and great collaboration. These will be very special statues to own in the years ahead.

Yeah Viper I'm not really sure how many Collectibles I'll be able to own of theirs but I have dozens and dozens of Sideshow and hot toys and were going to branch out and invest in them but I want to see how magneto turns out and if it comes out great I'll stop buying so much sideshow and just get a few great xm pieces instead!

I'm dying to see the new base and painted preview. I'm really curious what they are planning for the base. Hopefully, we'll get a preview next week before SGTCC.

Yeah Sarah I will be selective as well with XM pieces. There is no way I can afford or justify spending the money it will take to buy them all but I do plan to get several of them. I only have three Sideshow orders right now and really don't plan to add anymore at this point. My focus will be with XM going forward. They are just knocking their pieces out of the park and are making collecting fun again.
