XM Studios - One Punch Man License 1/4 scale Premiun Collectibles

[Balthazar]

Piece is awful Please stick to super heroes xm

Simple base, simple pose, detailed paintwork. Retail price is about 700USD for prestige, final product not as interesting as literally anything from tsume/figurama/ryu studios.
When prime 1 can do 600USD gantz statues, I don’t see why xm can’t do better.

But this did sell out immediately, which just reinforces how much demand there is in the anime market. I Guess we will get to see a genos soon.

If you look at it worldwide, I think anime fan base is bigger than the (american) comic fan base.

Yes, as Asian, I definitely see that American comic (excluding movie adaptations) market is much much smaller and anime/manga much bigger in Asia. I personally feel that american comics is really difficult to get into and unfriendly to newcomers due to numerous retcons, reboots, multiverse, multi demension, inconsistent storyline etc.

I agree 100%.... I hate that they keep rebooting and starting at #1 again.... makes it extremely hard to follow anything...

Yeah, it also makes it difficult to get committed to the storyline. It’s like why bother getting invested when the title will get cancelled or retconned just to be rebooted in the future.

Manga in general is very focused with a singular protagonist and supporting cast following a linear story.

I don't believe there is a manga series with dozens of interconnected characters across various series.

You read one series and start at #1, simple.

For this price i get XM Batgirl+10% prestige !
Size is not everything,simple extra head and simple pose.
I stay with it weak and expensive.

I'm with other people on this one, surprised at this one in terms of price and execution which XM usually do quite well. I would much rather get the tsume or f4f one (price).
