Oh well, hopefully we get a Domino PF announcement soon.

No surprise to me and I think it's crucial to reveal early now with multiple companies having 1/4 license to do Marvel characters (especially x-men).
XM reveals their statues when they're still in the WIP stage. It allows consumers an opportunity to contribute during development and plan their collections and pre-orders way ahead of time.
XM has a Mystique, Gambit, Omega Red, Cyclops, Brown Wolverine, Ice-man, Professor X etc. coming. Just knowing Sideshow has a few of these on the way will immediately make me hold off securing any XM PO or release to see Sideshow's offering considering Sideshow is top quality and Domestic for U.S. collectors.
The earlier the reveal, the better for us. We can adequately plan our collections without buyers remorse because we didn't know a certain company was working on something because they were waiting to have a painted proto in-hand for an SDCC surprise.
