So they are going to put the logo on the back - that?s cool.
But seriously there is only one portrait? And one set of arms? Oof. This is not a great piece.
Between this and Sinister it seems XM has missed some great opportunities on some popular characters.

Agreed. Missed opportunity indeed. Just the pose alone. If it was a better pose, this would've been an awesome Nova piece.

It's a shame because Nova prime is my favorite version of Nova. The suit and textures look well done, and the details on the helmet and face imo are also well done. Just wish the pose was different.

Can't believe we waited this long for a Nova and I have to pass. The suit looks great, but can't get over the dynamic pose they went with, even after all of the pushback. Maybe their sunken cost from concept to design made them move forward.
I think sales of this one are going to be a let down, and who knows when we'll see another Nova. Bummer.

Opinions on this appear a tad harsh. Seems decent to me. Especially from side and 3/4 angles. Front...not as much.
I'm not a fan of the character though, but I know liking B or C tier characters, and not getting much product - so when one does come along you want a standard, iconic pose. But I give XM credit for doing a pose that you don't see often, if ever.
Hope I don't have to eat my words, but if (and hopefully when) XM get around to Gladiator, I imagine I'll be ecstatic that I'd jump on it. I'll try not to dwell on Sinister, and now this one...

That is definitely an issue sometimes. We wait FOREVER for a character (especially one that is not one of the big boys) and then the pose/sculpt/paint is not ideal. Then when it does not sell well, the companies will go "See, collectors don't buy the B-C list characters so why should we produce them?". It is a chicken and egg scenario.
