My personal opinion is they are making more "safe" poses because people used to complain XM was always too busy, too big of a footprint. A lot of "more is less" was the theme I kept seeing.
I've been reading these forums very regularly for a while now, lots of heavy criticism about that, so I think they've been trying to give people what they ask for, just .... they are not hitting the mark with some folks.
Personally I love their new pieces, I think rogue is awesome and beast might be my favorite piece I've seen teased so far. I also have no allegiance to any one company. Admittedly most of my statues are XM because i like those sculpts more but I'll buy whatever I think looks best for the characters that i love and think about price secondary; but everyone is different and has their own priorities on what they want to collect.
If I had one major complaint about this subject, I do wish people would stop being so insulting everytime someone disagrees here on this forum .... Especially with people who are heavy sideshow supporters and vice versa on the SS forum. It's almost like I have to write something and go hide away because I love a statue others think isn't very good, I expect vitotal ... And usually get it. I don't even mention XM in a SS thread anymore, last time that happened someone literally blew up over it. It's a hobbie with lots of different tastes and opinions, it would be nice to live in a world where people respected that, though I'm probably asking for a lot.
