I don't think that people are all that up in arms, rowdy about this. XM is going to be to be making plenty of money with all of the X-Men they will be churning out. I just hope they stick to the same motto they came in with -- making statues for the true comic fans. Which includes making characters usually overlooked.

For example, King Pin. AMAZING statue that other companies wouldn't give the light of day. Same with Black Bolt and such. Why people think these statues don't make money is beyond me.

XM is solely hindered by their license range (which is not their fault). If NA could get their hands on these pieces more readily, they would be out the door much faster than they are now.

Can you explain your logic to me on them creating a big base to sell Namor? It seems counterintuitive to me as a huge, detailed base costs more money to make, and appeals to a smaller market. XM could crank out the basic pose and simple base, but that's not XM's design style. I'm under the impression that Namor's base is a giant octopus because XM makes bases that tell a story.

I can't believe more people are actually saying no to shocker on this poll. He's been part of the sinister six. He should be made!

XM hasn't even made a Green Goblin, a Rhino, a Scorpion, or a Hobgoblin.

The only way you'll ever see this guy made right now is if his character blows reviewers, critics, and audience members away.
All of those are either finished, being worked on, in concept form or planning stages.

A couple of the characters are being redone and should both show up in some form or another at STGCC this year. That's only two months from now. If you see GG and Rhino....I am sure it will only be in completed 3D render form. Just simply not enough time to get some of the things they have been working on done in time for STGCC.

He's been done a long time now. I hope we see him completely painted for the show in just a couple months from now.

I'm sorry guys it's not happening . Even Randy Bowen didn't produce fullsize pieces of these guys mini busts for some that's it. The shocker is not in same league as Rhino not in my opinion. I've got every Amazing Spiderman Comic he was introduced ages ago but he's nothing more than hotdog filler.
I agree 100%. Rhino is one of Spidey's main villains. I would bet we see a Beetle before Shocker. I like Shocker a lot...he is a simple but just cool as hell looking character. I'd love to have those shock gauntlets IRL.

Uh....that would be the X-Men / mutant line. Oh...that's right...you haven't seen it yet...

20+ characters...some that have yet to be revealed. Makes the Spidey line relatively slim pickings compared to the mutant line.

It's always the case with these type of polls.

DC fans, Mutant fans, Top Cow fans, you name it fans... all want their statues first will always vote no.

No should never be an option in these things, if they don't want it then they don't vote.

Old school but weak villain. Kind of a joke.

That's kinda his shtick though. Common criminal punching above his weight.

Obviously you haven't read "The superior foes of Spider-Man".

Great read.
