Exclamation Vote, keep or remove coins from XM statues

Quick poll to see who's in favour of keeping the coins with XM statues. Personally I vote to keep them. I'm somewhat of a coin collector already, so coins with some of my favorite characters on them are hard to say no to. Plus I think it's a unique idea to have accompany and display with the statue.

Like I posted earlier though, if XM does continue with the coins I think it's a good idea to have them stamped with the edition number and made for every statue. This way it adds more to the collectibility and significance of the coin. Plus is also acts a really cool COA.

Just my opinion.

We will need to complete the coin giveaway for the Avengers line though - this is to ensure the whole line is consistent. For other ranges, we are now reconsidering the coins. We still want to give something away but considering it will be for everyone rather than just the initial pre-orders. Some ideas we are thinking about could be XM-Studios T-Shirts so you can wear 'em. I'm thinking maybe some sort of thin frame that can hold the art prints allowing you to hang em up or stand them on tables behind the statues etc.

Well, let's hear it from the peeps shall we? Post your ideas! Keep the coins? Replace it with something else?

I had to type it out. Takes a while.

Third option says T-Shirt display, but I guess it was blocked out. If mods could correct that somehow?

It's not really going to sway my purchase one way or the other, but I did kind of like the coins. Or at least the one I've gotten. I'd rather have them than not.

Totally neutral. Keep 'em or lose 'em, it makes no difference to me. I'm not going to lie, I'll take one look and back in the box it goes. The statue is the main attraction for me, I don't need unnecessary trinkets to go with it (no offense intended to those that like them).

I'm starting to like your idea. The only thing is ...what to do when there are more than 2 change of heads? One bust for each portrait?

if getting rid of the coins will save any money at all, lose them - otherwise it doesn't matter as long as every statue gets them

You choose one and box the other(s). I know XM loves to go above and beyond, but at a certain point I feel like a line has got to be drawn on extra display options, especially something that takes significant amounts of extra packaging space. These boxes are already massive enough as it is.
