XM Nightcrawler?

Hi,

Apparently this was done by a guy named Daniel Simon for XM, and was to be part of the X-Men Alliance Diorama, no less. I'm not sure if he's on this forum. Does anyone know what happened to this incredible Nightcrawler piece?

What a fantastic piece
Such a shame because it looks like it would have sold well

Do you know why? Does it have to do with a license thing?

This makes no sense now. They own the movie rights since Disney acquired FOX. There's no plausible reason whatsoever for Disney to keep denying use of the character.

I still find it ironic that Nightcrawler is not allowed to be made and his story is that he is one of the X-Men most persecuted by humans for his appearance. If it’s not a licensing agreement and Disney is all about inclusion, you’d think he would be a poster child character for acceptance, non-judgement and inclusivity.

I like the character. A lot. But at 1/6 scale, he's infuriatingly hard to find. Suggestions?

I’ve brought it up before, but Nightcrawler is made for or put on EVERY OTHER type of merchandise, from toys to the front like up in video games, which is why the fact he can’t get a statue makes even less sense.

X-Men merchandise, even statues, has been coming out strong since before the Fox acquisition so that can’t be a factor. SS had a whole wave of X-Men statues during the prequel movies (1st Brown Wolverine PF, Dark Phoenix PF, etc) so it’s gotta be something else.
