Just going off of XM track record. You know how they tap deep into the pool of characters from a given license (thank God...at least one company does it). You know...like Omega Red? Stryfe? Or how about Mojo or Spiral? Blob? Pyro?

Like i said, damn shame this company has tackled characters others haven't touched in 10 years. This is why I appreciated Bowen so much...because he tackled everyone. Kudos to Bowen!!!

All I heard was "blah blah blah"... and no mention of Gladiator!

(no offense on the blah part - just want to hear you say Gladiator! )

The thigh high boots are pretty iconic in my mind for this character... they can tinker with them, but IMO they have to be there. At least they were able to modernize the little booties on his feet.

HMO's Dante looks really awesome! I managed to acquire an exclusive Nariko...so I am really excited about that.

Either sitting on a throne/chair or have him standing up like a badass. The piece of fabric from his cape that goes around the back of his head should go higher than the top of my head, IMO. But I'm sure XM will do him justice, for sure a highly anticipated character people been wanting.

I hope this design evolves a little. I was hoping for XM's modernizing take on characters, like they did for Thanos and Magneto.

Sinister is a character I've always liked, but thought his design was missing a little something. I can say I'm not a fan of those shoulder pauldrons. Never understood them for superheroes and never liked them on Wolverine or SS Apocalypse, etc. Also agree on the "diamonds" issue. I'd be fine with the normal two, or even one (or even... sacrilege... none).

Spent several days off the forums, come back and I see MY FAVORITE CHARACTER SPIDER-MAN and icing on the cake, one of my favorite villains, MR. SINISTER!!!!

Diamond overload indeed. I'd remove the shoulder and belt diamonds. He only needs a diamond on his chest and head.

I'd also do away with the undies. And looking at his head to body ratio, it's probably not off but Mr. Sinister was originally HUGE, so his head would be a bit smaller to the body. He was originally taller than Sabretooth. I hope this Mr. Sinister is on the tall side.

Other than that I'm happy to say I'm not mad at the overall costume design and I'm really digging the head sculpt.

I don't want to spend XM money but wow...Mr. Sinister is exactly what I've been wanting.
