Yeah, the same could be said about the P1 N52 piece. We don't know what external forces might be causing the damage to the street. I'm not going to knock either statue for that.

This! Give me a more classic looking portrait without the chin guard and I'd be a very happy camper.

Yeah, that's pretty much my stance as well. I'm very happy with the way this PF turned out. Now I'm just waiting for it to be put up for PO.

True Grumpy is a XM cheerleader but the same can be said for several of you here in the SS forum...

Although once you see who they are their opinions on statues just become white background noise in the forums.

In an ideal world I'd take the SS Flash design with the P1 pose and setting. The XM and P1 showcase speedster ability more than slightly torn road. I'd like some removable lightning myself. And big difference between cheap plastic and clear resin. Latter can look almost like glass. Now which one sideshow would splurge on is a different matter...

Seriously though, the prime and xm statues are not bland and mundane and if you ask me, most people would choose one of them over this SS version if the prices were cheaper. I know I would.
XM Flash is actually very cheap, with free shipping to the US. But it is 1:6 scale.

You can like XM over SS as much as you want. But, I really don’t think approx. $500USD for 1/6th scale can be called cheap.....With that logic $600~700 for 1/4th scale is cheap as well

I got it for $430 shipped, but yeah..I meant cheap compared to XM stuff that isn't licensed in the US. I also wouldn't be surprised if the XM's total size was about the same as SS's given the large base, but I'm not sure.

I dunno about you but $430 still seems like a hefty price tag for 1/6th. I don’t think Xm 1/6th line should be compared SS PF in terms of the price tag because they are of different scale.
