The number that you receive is random. I ordered mine two years ago and got #151. I think Shibumi is selling better than Ultimate Swordsman. Shibumi has been better received, and frankly, it's a lot easier to display than the much larger Swordsman. I don't see Shibumi available anywhere but XM Hong Kong at this point, while Ultimate Swordsman is still available at Secret Compass, Specfictionshop, and GFX Distribution.

You know, not really. Cause Shibumi costs me $799 US, $1000 canadian converted, but Wind statue was about 1000 US, $1250 canadian. With that statue it includes the Kirin and the extra rock stand and extra head. The statue without the Kirin is $700 canadian , thats $550 US. But i ordered it straight from ACME. XM costs you another $150 US for distributing it..

Ah, I was viewing it on the XM site where it’s priced 1695 SGD, which is about $1278 USD.

For Singapore fans is cheaper cause we don't pay the hefty shipping cost. My understanding is there could be 2x standard 1/4 size box....... due to the Kirin

Ok guys just unboxed him and wow he looks good!
Base is heavy as hell, no idea why but it feels like it's been carved from stone, this is the sort of base that shows you don't need big clear resin effects and light up features, it's a tour-de-force in sculpting, perfectly done, paints are brilliant and the real chains really set it off.
Shibumi himself is very very well painted, the lines are very clean, colours in the coat are nicely done which isn't picked up in pictures much.
The amount of swap outs is great, i love the pole for the staff is just a copper rod lol, feels and looks great. One thing i am dissapointed about is the mask arm is now one piece, so this open palmed pose is no longer possible.
And to be honest the open palms in the other hands look kind of meh, i know Xm weren't happy with them anyway and just included them as a "might as well" but i did like this display option.
Now the unmasked face is different from the proto there's no way round it it has been painted differently, it has lost some of it's intensity as it does seem to have slightly bigger eyes are an overall softer look. Now that's not to say it looks bad it doesn't it looks awesome just its now a 9/10 rather than a 10/10.
Overall it's a fantastically simple, elegant and imposing statue with a real quality feel and a wealth of swap outs!
Pics and video review incoming
