I can't figure out humans...so I need to stop trying.
SS has released a few Darth Mauls over the last few years plus a new one that came out around the same time XM announced their version. Given the price and shipping costs, if you already own the character the motivation to buy XM's is probably not as high as someone who doesn't own him.

Very true. Xm Darth is about double what the sideshow ones retail for. I do think the xm is the best I’ve seen, but Star Wars statues don’t sell as well as marvel or dc. That’s my perspective at least.

That's interesting. I guess that is not crazy to think that...but I would have guessed it would be at least the 3rd most popular license as far as collectibles are concerned.

I'm curious...to anyone that has used Spec Fiction in the past...how has your experience been buying from their website--specifically XM statues that you pre-ordered?

I pre-ordered an XM statue a little over a year ago with a popular website many here know and use, and it was a terrible, terrible experience. So just curious.

I've purchased numerous XM pieces from Spec Fiction and have several on pre-order. My experience with Todd there has been great and he will go out of his way to accommodate. Buy with confidence.

This is just my experience but I've done business with SpecFiction for at least 4 years now, maybe longer, I've never had a problem.

plus I only live like 2 hours away from his shop so if he tries anything I know where he's at

Todd from Spec is official in my book.

Bought 7 XM Spidey villains off him and he delivered...

With STGCC 2018 Comic Con going on I decided to take the leap on a STGCC 2017 reveal (I think). Finally got over the price barrier and order Storm from Spec Fiction. If I can't get a statue out of my head for an entire year with all this product coming from all different directions it means I love it. So happy to have this locked down!
