I just love the new XM Dark Phoenix. A real masterpiece.
She is standing right next to me on the desk.

I may just grab the sideshow Jean Grey for now (my favorite era is the Jim Lee era so that makes some sense). The reviews have been pretty decent on that I think, and it looks good.

The XM 'Phoenixes' look great though. Too bad I can't find the Dark Phoenix! I'm new to XM but it seems like they have very limited distribution in the states?
XM doesn't have a license to sell in the USA, so you have to buy it from a 3rd party like specfiction (which has some for sell still) or on ebay (but becareful on ebay, if selling from china it probably isn't legit XM). You might also have luck with statue groups on facebook.

The Dark Phoenix won't come cheap tho, and green one wasn't so popular so you might be able to get her for 800-900 if you look for a deal.

I recently bought an XM piece from Singapore, as I understand that's where they're based?

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Yeah, for the people in the States, can buy from Specfiction. I would never recommend Ebay at all, too many recast and scams nowadays. Alternatively, buy from FB BST statue groups, or buy from a distributor in Singapore.

All the best, mate!

I don't think I've ever seen a recast of an XM statue. There are 1 or 2 listings in China... just like there's 1 or 2 listings in the US, for most of their 1/4 scale pieces.

Aside grom the usual 'beware of China bootleg' fears, are there any actual confirmed bootlegs of XM pieces? Just curious. Plus I despise everything about Facebook, so i don't keep an active account. Not much else BUT Ebay

I've seen bootleg dark phoenix and storm pieces being posted on ebay. When they post them they usually don't say they are legit pieces. But yes i'd be careful with ebay and XM statues, even SS always ask if its original especially on older pieces. But usually always the ones being sold in china are recast from what i've seen.
