He looks like he's coming out pretty good so far but just based on that pic I don't see the wow factor for me to spend around $1000 on it

There's little to no contrast in the green in that pic. Hopefully it's an intermediate WIP, but IMO it needs some yellows and lighter shaded greens to contrast the base dark green. As it is now it looks very bland and Monochromatic.

To my eyes, there's a metallic-like gradient to the finish. It's what I was hoping to see with this piece.

That's a huge compliment. I absolutely loved that piece and the paints apps on it.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

I think the paint up is fantastic. The cloth material like part of the costume actually looks like cloth and the metallic parts of the costume look like metal. One thing I know from XM pics is take what you see with a grain of salt.
Outside of being able to see if textures are on a sculpt (Kingpin), the colors can't really be gauged until its seen in great crisp pictures and / or in video.
I love what I am seeing, but will wait until STGCC to even begin to judge it. The statue / sculpt itself is second to none though. The details are off the charts. I'm a huge fan of Caleb Nefzen...his work is tops in the industry along with Daniel Bel, Will Harbottle, Mark Newman and a select few others.

That pic looks pretty washed out to me, so it's hard to tell. That also looks like it could be the factory so this could be a production piece paint app.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

This looks totally cool. I like the paint app, which is totally what I would expect from a piece as I grew up watching the 90s TV show. I appreciate that XM is making all the villains, and if I wasn't in Canada, would try to own all of them.

Yeow! That paint is fantastic! I think the metallic really pops on the stinger, and I'm sure it's going to look even better in better pics and in hand (as usual with most statues). I'm so glad I decided to go all in XM's Spidey villains. I would have preferred a little less modern looking suit for my personal tastes, but that's not to say I don't like and appreciate the modern look. I think the key will be the portraits sealing the deal.
Anyone else excited this appears to be a "small" XM base?? Hooray lower shipping cost!! Hooray less display space needed!!!
