Awesome pics Gary!

I think this one cracks the top five for my favorite XM pieces thus far. He's amazing.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Man, that is truly some beautiful work, raising the bar once again. Design, pose, details, switch-outs, paint apps, portraits are all top notch. Great job XM.

Mine is arriving Friday! A big shout out to Todd at Spec Fiction, awesome guy! If you need XM in the States I would suggest try Spec Fiction.
Getting this after the death of Stan Lee feels somewhat weird to me. As a kid I grew up reading Spiderman through the mid 70s and I always saw Mr. Lee's name either in credits, ads or the column where peeps would write in. Those comics helps me through a childhood of having no friends, but built up my imagination and my ambition to draw comics every day. There is a lot more about my uncle committed to an asylum seeing g a ghost and me going into his room years later and finding every Spiderman comic published scattered on the floors everywhere, too much history for me to write. Without even knowing him, I felt like he and Marvel Comics shaped my life into who I am today. His little cameos in the upcoming films will be missed.

Because the way he is crouching, it hides too much of the body and reduces its presence. I have the same problem with XM Moon Knight and SS Daniel Bel Daredevil.

It's a pity that so much from the wonderful sculpt is actually hidden by the character's own body.

And then there's the head, it feels like it's looking down on something or somebody, hence the natural tendency to display them higher, so that they could look like they're looking at you.

But, in the end, it's all a matter of preference. We are talking about gorgeous sculpts.


Oh and by the way, great pics!
