Some contrast is needed. The helmet should be a gun metal type of grey. It looks too dark as is.

Hoping it has that wear effect round the edges of the helmet.
Dont paint it like Cables metal arm OR batmans belt cause they both sucked! I got both and wasnt impressed and was surprised!

Agreed. A lighter metallic color for the helmet like in the 3D render would be best. Need to have contrast between the helmet and visor.

I got a lot riding on this since I have it on PO and paid a good chunk of change to Pre Order it.

I have to agree with most everyone who recently posted that the helmet should be more gun metal in color and hopefully the sneak peak we got was just a base coat before they actually paint it like it originally was meant to be. The wear around the helmet is also crucial IMO I really want this piece to be as close as Daniel Bel meant it to be, we gotta keep in mind Wolverine trained in this Helmet so it has to have a weathered effect around it.


XM is very much a studio that listens to it's customer and I am sure they hear our voices.

Also having the bottom of broken tank have clear resin would be a must have and show overflow of water on the lowest broken pieces of the tank and a puddle of water on the floor.

Keep up the great work XM!

I am really hoping for this to be my first XM piece. Sure as hell hope I have a shot at pre-ordering.

I'm a bit let down by the colouring of the helmet. it should be in bare metal colour, the classic look. and I agree, the helmet now swallow the visor. unless they make the visor LIT! tho it could be benefited with a brighter shade of red.

but hey! the killed it with the wet-look effect!!! I hope ben didn't play us by misting the figure before taking the picture. lol

I will wait for a fully painted proto before judging. I don't think the final paint on the helmet will be black. They may be going for a real metal look, which requires a black undercoat.

Makes sense. I don't see them gaffing the helmet color.
