Would recommend him as well. Todd seems like a good guy and he's got a good rep here from what I've seen. Just POd a couple of XM pieces from him recently.

I just unboxed my BRB and I was blown away. This is my first XM piece. I've been collecting for over 10 years and I've never seen a statue packaged this way. Nobody comes close. The box is like a coffin. It's a really thick and solid box. The corners are reinforced. The Styrofoam is the best I've seen. Freaking Velcro straps to hold the Styrofoam together. Again I was blown away at the packaging. Also I appreciated the book showing how to assemble the statue.... And the little art print was a nice touch. The statue was flawless as well. No defects whatsoever. I would definitely buy another XM statue.

Great 1st experience, congrats.

I've never owned an XM statue but have seen the packaging and wish other companies would take note. It should be the industry standard.

BRB is probably XM’s best. Top 3 at the very least.

I'm still blown away at the box and Styrofoam on this piece. The Velcro straps holding it together is just icing on the cake. The statue is incredible but man that packaging. Are all XM pieces packed that way?

People can say what they want about the statues but going from opening an XM box back to opening a Sideshow box every time has me like “ugh!”. Lol. XM’s packaging is a whole experience and gift itself.

Congrats on your new statue though!

Absolutely. Just the Styrofoam alone is a million times better than Sideshow. For the money SS charges their packaging should be at the minimum the same as XM. Honestly it should be better.

I might buy Doc Ock or Vulture.
