Really hoping they show us some new Q4 2023 releases and beyond. XM hasn't had a huge lineup either which is concerning.

2022 was a very poor year for Sideshow 1:4 product reveals. XM's art direction has taken a severe turn for the worse and PCS and P1 have put all their eggs in the 1:3 basket. 1:4 scale comic book statues may soon be a thing of the past unless it's another Wolverine or Batman.
So many pieces on my wishlist that Sideshow didn't get round to: Stryfe, Sinister, Spiral, Spidey villains.... Time to pick up some older XM pieces I was hoping Sideshow would provide an alternative for. Hopefully Sideshow allow Iron Studios or Tweeterhead to do Marvel/DC 1:4 pieces if they've lost their appetite.
With no end in sight to price rises and shipping costs the future as I see it sits with 3D printing at home. The Patreon group sculpts are improving by the day and I've taken up painting/airbrushing in preparation. Time to ditch the statue companies that refuse to listen to what the core customer base wants.
