I'm on the fence over this one. I've preordered Elektra, and have every intention of ordering the SS Punisher. I like the sculpt on DD, but as mentioned before, I don't understand the gingivitis teeth, and while the crouched pose is appropriate for the character, I wish the piece wasn't 2.5" shorter than Elektra.

Don't really see the reason to go for the XM right now at that larger price point. It was the DD grail piece for me prior to this coming out. I think I could be equally happy with this piece over XM, especially for half the price point.
It’s not half. You can get the xm daredevil pretty cheap nowadays. Probably for $700 shipped. Personally I don’t like either companies take on him. I’m waiting to see what Iron Studios brings to the table

The big difference on color between prototype and production piece makes me really worried about Mystique PF...

The big difference in color might just be the lighting. Look back at post #506.

Yup it looks much better in that pic

I don't think his "gingivitis teeth" will look as bad in person.
Regarding the difference in height with Elektra, the way i'm planning on displaying them will work better with the height difference but i understand it won't be ideal for everybody.

If this was all red, even with the stylized sections being a different shade of red instead of black, I would have ordered day one. As is, meh, hasn’t won me over.

Damn that's a pretty good deal, where did you see it for that price? I saw it for $1100

What don't you like about them? I'm yet to see the XM in person, but it looks very well done and has a great base.
