Yeah I may complain about not getting what was advertised what I paid for or outright lied to, but Elektra isn't exactly on the redo scale of Batmans, Wolverines, or Akuma pumping iron but by far the loudest whiner of Sideshow's character choices is you by yourself.

You're one of the biggest asshole gaslighters on this forum. Again, you have absolutely no room to talk about others "crapping on stuff." You're condescending and rude, and you think your ---- don't stink. I've had it listening to your bull----, so you're going on my permanent block list.

Well we can thank XM/Customs for making the crazy big bases. So now they are trying to get the audience that has been asking for more height.

I'm guessing its all the feedback now finally coming to fruition.

But I honestly was happy they kept pieces below 20-25 inches with a few that were higher.

The ninja's tho look amazing compared to all the dozens of customs that include ninja's.

It's kind of funny because XM has been scaling down some of their bases recently - obviously not all pieces (Maestro), but others such as their newer 1/4 DC pieces.

am i the only one who finds it difficult to display pieces like this with others? maybe its just my ocd but this would look weird next to most other statues being super dynamic and having half bodied ninjas on the base. like this next to even the last DD pf would look odd imo. sculpt seems great and i guess could work as a stand a lone piece but would seem out of place in a typical display setting - but again could totally be just me

I think 20-24 inches is the sweet spot for a good 1:4 piece. Taller or shorter and it just doesn't look like it belongs.

In YOUR collection, I agree. Yours is so carefully curated with a specific style, with most statues focused clearly on the characters, if I recall.

So yeah... you can't get this.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Overall it looks really, really good. The only complaint would be the portrait, but then again, it's a very dark picture. I know I'm a broken record, but can we please get classic Felicia Hardy and Jessica Drew, preferably sculpted by Mr Harbottle?
