I don’t like the red inside his cape. I know he had that look for a while, but the black looked better. Changing the base would have been enough, but they can’t even get repaints correct.

This happens time and time again with XM because they don’t know sources material and choose not do any research on character design past a simple Google comic cover search. Seriously, it’s sad and tired. They could have made a fortune off this character if they had taken any time at all to do research or ask people for some issues with good interior pages.

Part of me wonders if this statue is just bad, or I'm finally realizing how silly Mr. Sinister looks.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. He looks fabulous!

I mean...you could say that with 90% of these characters to be honest, but that's part of what makes them so awesome.

I always thought Sinister was much more in the silly side, but thought I was the only one

Since the first time I saw him in the cartoon

The base wasnt the issue as it matched the comic. The issue is that XM attempted to combine both classic and new Sinister and it just doesnt work. It's gotta be one or the other.

Nah, you're not the only one... I thought the same for his cartoon and original comics look.

Only after I learned about Claremont's original plans that Sinister was a construct made up by a child did it all make sense.

I understand a lot of the frustration with this statue. I’m very curious on the pricing of this one ☝️
