Unboxed mine this evening. No complaints at all. Love the portraits and his size. I've got him next to Omega Red and they look great together. Will try and take some pics tomorrow.

Had a bit of unfortunate luck though. A hair tip from the long haired portrait was broken and a small piece of the gun part of the base was broken as well. Not too noticeable unless I point them out but it'll probably bother me a little.

Im really surprised this is getting dogged on as much as it is, aside from the paint on the portraits its a grand slam imo. The SS is a pretty nice statue but i prefer the pose, base, and overall sculpt (especially the masked portrait) on the XM. Guess these comparisons are inevitable though and its nice theres a victor creed for everyones taste

It's very close, but I think the SS one takes this one. A little better texturing and colors throughout the piece...XM has the better pose though. To be fair, I think this is the only X-Men statue that SS beats XM out on head to head.

Sideshow did a better Gambit and a better X-23 as well. Rogue is going to be really tough to beat too. Their Cable is just as good as XM's, it's just a more comic looking take.

But, XM definitely has the better Cyclops and Emma Frost. Wolverine is debatable. I prefer Sideshow's yellow Astonishing Wolverine, but I know people love XM's brown. Plus, XM is doing characters Sideshow refuses to do like Iceman, Archangel, Beast, Prof. X and Magik.

I'm one of them

My two cents:
XM Brown Wolverine and XM Sabertooth wear the same clothes. In the brown parts they match, but in the yellow parts Wolferine has a fantastic drawing / details that I unfortunately miss on the Sabertooth statue. I think it's a shame that XM didn't do that on the Sabertooth statue.

Both meh.
I like Salt and Pepper X-23 but unfortunately there is a Wolverine on the base
X-23 is one of my favorite and I'd love to have a statue of her.
Maybe one day Prime 1 will get a 1/4 X-Men license

I'm not a fan of SS's Gambit but I know I'm in the minority. SS Rogue and Cable are great, I'd probably vote a tie for the Cables.
