XM Studios News

"Scott, I don't ever say this, but you-freaking-rock!"

"XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Iceman! Literally, the coolest mutant is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. Crafted in a specially developed cold-cast polyresin material for the first time in all of XM’s creations, this special material was researched and developed together with the manufacturing factory’s senior engineering teams to achieve a realistic frosted ice effect (instead of common clear resin) that is durable and original to XM. The raw material is more costly to develop due to the special attributes but hey, Iceman deserves the best ice materials! Iceman is designed in a dynamic pose on a ice slide, showing his abilities atop a Danger Room themed base!

Bobby Drake discovered his mutant power to create ice while in his early teens, yet kept his condition hidden from everyone but his parents."

So, POs just closed for this and very little has been said about this piece.

I guess I am still a bit on the fence and so far, this is the first XM X-men statue I haven’t ordered. For me, it was because of the size of the base and the price compared to other pieces. Also, probably most significantly, I had to make a choice as couldn’t order all the pieces I wanted given how many will hit early next year.

What do others think? Has anyone seen this in person and if so, did you order or pass? Why?

I am very curious as to how this one will turn out and whether I should still pick up if I can.

I actually had it on pre-order and cancelled. Base size too large. This character just wasn’t loved enough to pay that kind of money.

I think this is a great piece. I already have it paid in full with no regrets. Im passing on Gambit and Prof X and some people love those ones. These pieces are to big and expensive to get everything for most of us. For me this was an instant buy but it means I won't be getting something else. That's the way it goes. I'd say if your hesitant and not even sure you want it then don't get it. Wait for those pieces you love.

I don't get how people proudly claim this all the time. Do you only watch movies with young girls in them? Do you only listen to music featuring female artists?
