It's simply a matter of perspective. If XM does the posable arms route, hopefully it will be made from aluminum flex tube, which may enhance the overall 'feel' of the statue.

Yea, I say no to pose-able tents as well, i wouldnt ming metal tents though, would give it that high quality feel!

With all the talk about posable tenticles being like switch out parts........switch out tenticles are like switch out parts.

Maybe just include switch out tenticles.

All Bowens. Could you imagine how visually captivating it would be if they were all given the 1/4 scale XM treatment?

Poseable tents would be sick, maybe make a set optional swap outs as suggested to make everyone happy?

I'd imagine how visually captivating watching my bank account drain would be if I owned all those in 1:4

lol, I hear that! Factor in the cost of shipping for all six which will easily be over 1k and the sinister six will cost a small fortune.

Oh god...

Welp time to shop that extra kidney around...

And here I thought the xmen line was going to wipe me out . My only hope (not actually wanting this, this is Sharkey's wallet taking the keyboard) is that the bases do not go together or anything, and I can just pick out which of the villains I can't do without and just focus on a multitude of amazing Spideys.

Why do two tentacles have to differ from the other two? They can both be made of the same material (gooseneck aluminm?) except one set can move while the other doesn't. Why keep them affixed when the posable tentacles can be detached; thereby easing the fears re: break-ability and paint chipping. Why limit ourselves to only one pose and debate as to the pose. Does having posable tentacles make for more of an action figure? No more than interchangeable heads, arms or leds lights; rather it adds a bit of intrigue and enjoyment into owning a collectible. And consider if the tentacles are posable and affixed the value of having one in mint condition.

Having two tentacles sculpted is so that Doc Oct can be suspended in the air as many have suggested. XM makes their statues solid so sculpted tentacles are needed to support him.

My man, you missed my point entirely. If the top tentacles are made from an aluminum alloy, there's no reason for the bottom two not be made from the same alloy. Also, since their main function is to support the statue, you could easily hide a very solid aluminum rod behind the tubing. Wouldn't you want aluminum tubing holding up your statue as opposed to porcelain?



With gooseneck tubing, all they would need to do is give it a nice brushed finish, creating a very modern look, have it pre-bent and install, done. For those of us who want a custom look, all we have to do is adjust until we like what we see
