My hope for you is that someday you'll realize that some people base their opinion on the art itself, not whose name is on the label.
Carry on thinking my opinion is worthless, I really don't give a flying f***. I'm perfectly content not being a mindless XM sheep.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Tell me, then, why would I spend time answering hopeless fanboys like you, who would be buying 1/4 scale statues of dog---- if Sideshow was making them.
Give me ONE reason?
Don't even try, you can't. And thus, we are done. G'day to you!

I'll try. I'm not that knowledgeable regarding Northern's collecting habits, BUT, if Northern has achieved a level of collecting, where his eye is truly an objective one(?), well then, kudos to Northern! We should all aspire to do, and achieve the same, regardless, of company, character, or artist. You my friend, have it backwards.
And no, I did not order this Mags, mainly due to the fabric cape. The sculpt, base, pose, concept, are all sound. As far as price? Yeah, it's too high, but what isn't?!? And you XM fanf*cks are truly partly to blame for the crazy pricing hikes across the industry. The irony? Just saw XM Medusa and Electra sell on eBay in the $300.00 range, with minimal shipping costs! The horror.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

You can even add all statues that sell under retail in real auctions aside of some few that still hold their value and some that seem to reach higher prices than retail, but after deducting Ebay+PayPal fees it's not that much anymore.

Recasts? I don't think so. Buddy, the writing is on the wall, XM is not in as high demand as you would like to think. The low edition runs for both Moonnight and Scorpion were shockingly low, though they were not 1st tier characters, still some of XM's best sculpts.
XM brn Wolverine and Sabretooth have been released for months now, and yet still no edition size announcement? What happened to the 2 month order window? XM is stretching it, and possibly not because they are selling like hot cakes. We'll see soon, but the edition sizes of these two highly praised statues will be very revealing regarding the health of the market, and XM's place within it.

When did i ever mention Xm in this thread?
That's what people with flawed arguments do, they avoid the real discussion, i.e how this maquette is crappy and the exclusive edition still not sold out, FOR A MAGNETO, for freakin's sake.
The writing's on the wall of your Sideshow cubicle, sorry if i can't see it.
Please enjoy your 6000 ES craptastically produced cross-eyed statues and let me enjoy my taste.
And by the way, I am more of an Iron Studios fanboys, if i am being honest. Never been disappointed so far and their art direction is amazing.
