Ignoring statues that are already 'out' (Thor, Black Bolt, DD, etc.)

Best:

- Ghostrider
- Mysterio (if he was there)
- Boba Fett
- Venom
- Batman

(All POd, as a result.)

Least liked:

- Elektra
- Kraven
- All Japanese Batman statues, with the exception of Batman himself, which I LOVE.
- Punisher (one of my favourite characters, but I think they dropped the ball with this one.)

As for the convention, I pretty much liked all the statues there, the ones I'm not crazy about are the Asian theme Batman statues, there just to original for my tastes, plus you add in the fact display space and money and I have to draw a line somewhere with buying XM stuff
To update Thor, I think they would have had to go with Modern Thor. His old costume doesn't lend itself well to modernization. Caps isn't modernized like Hawkeye or Magneto.

Wow! I am very impressed with XM art direction. I like almost everything that is being shown.

I even love the concepts for the Japanese Batman designs. Taking existing characters and adding their own spin with a theme.

The only ones that I feel could be better are:
Iron Man
Electra
Punisher
Venom

Everything else is is top notch in my eyes. If I was collecting their Spider-man range, I'll be so happy.

Mine is similar

Best:

Ghost Rider
Darkness
Green Goblin
Venom









Already Seen But Still Looks AMAZING:

Phoenix
Thanos
Blackbolt













Least Favorite:

Electra - (Face just doesnt look attractive and looks like she could be my mother, but like the stain glass window in background)

She-Hulk (Not sure what it is but just never cared for this piece but like base and that she took down this tank in her modern very clean and new kicks which look great btw)

Classic Iron Man - (This one i was very excited to see but feel there just some things going on with proportions like arms and head size that are killing it for me at the moment but that can be tweaked)

Thor - (This piece was little bit of let down for me, at first i thought this was part of 1/6th scale line, it just lacks that flare and charisma that other xm pieces have still good but not definitive thor piece i thought it would)











Now the ones i said i didnt care for are still great and nice pieces but pieces i will for sure not be ordering! But they had an amazing show this year, can't wait for next year already...

I think thats why i feel the way i do and don't really care for it, feel its more cartoonish than any of the other offerings, but hey as long as everyone who has it on order is happy with that than thats cool… I just prefer a more realistic look to all my collectibles!

Best looking concept to me is Darkness. I wasn't even considering that line but this might change my mind at least for that one and Witchblade.

Top 10 Best (other than Darkness):
1. Thanos
2. Phoenix (still not sure about the head sculpts but will know tomorrow)
3. Black Panther (now I want to see an XM Storm)
4. Ghost Rider (I really want a blue flame variant)
5. Black Bolt
6. Kraven
7. Medusa
9. Ms. Marvel
10. Dr. Strange
