whoa that's gonna be a rare one to find then! Now we can all see why nobody does storm... she can't even sell out when there's a good design for her.

Pretty much this. Did you see the ES for Scorpion? That one is only 300! That's a crazy low ES for such an amazing piece.

Moon Knight is 270. Unfortunately, I think this confirms why Sideshow doesn't do these lesser known characters.

Isn’t maximum ES for XM 999? If that is so, I don’t particularly find 420 to be a bad size.

Yeah kind of sad but it is what it is. Glad I got a PO for Scorpion and I'm now thinking about trying to get a PO for Storm if I still can. Don't have a Storm in my collection but didn't originally PO since I had so much other stuff on my plate already. From a business perspective, why do something with a low ES of maybe a few hundred and you're still not sure if it will sell out when you can do something with a high ES of several thousand and you know it will probably sell out.

That's actually quite sad! I know I didn't pick it up because to me, the black costume is THE iconic Storm costume, not crazy about the white.

But even then, I would have thought this to hit the 999 mark.

Yeah maximum ES for XM pieces have been 999 so far. Interesting that the ES for the Hulkbuster is 999 even though it's extremely expensive once all the shipping has been added in. Really popular piece regardless of the cost!

Oh wow, that's a great point!

Explains why Sideshow is producing one Iron Man after the other!

I was guessing 800. It's not a bad ES, especially considering the expense for XM and the fact that they're only licensed in select countries. The EX Sideshow PF was only 500 for Storm, and that's the only other licensed (and good) Storm on the market.

Probably because Iron man has appeared in multiple successful movies. Most buyers in Asia especially are probably movie watchers.
