I agree. I'm still sad about the amazing Spider-Woman concept art they teased like a decade ago (back around the same time they teased the classic Mr. Sinister) that never went anywhere.

I'd cut that in half. 18 months.

I personally wouldn't preorder anything XM related right now. A lot of ominous signs with them.

I wouldn't order directly from XM right now. I'd feel safe ordering an XM piece from a trusted distributor, though.

Yeah. Though, the two orders I have were with Spec and were both placed before the drama yesterday. Though, I'm still nervous.

Is one of those preorders the 1/4 Witchblade statue ....which is being produced right now by XM and Divine? Are you nervous about that one too?
The announcement did not mention the collaboration between Divine and XM, so I would assume that this is still good.

Yes, Witchblade and Jane Foster Thor. I'm sure Witchblade will be fine. But, they're both through Spec Fiction too. I've never ordered anything direct from XM.

I think someone needs to write a Collector's Constitution/Bill of Rights/Ten Commandments on this forum.
Above all else: stop putting faith in statue producers by dealing with them directly. Retailers exist for a reason not just as profiteering middlemen.

There are definitely instances where a middleman can be very beneficial.

I mean that'd be ideal. I was saying the limit with possible delays built in. You aim for 18, end at 24, I'm okay with it.
So many companies want to announce 20 new projects, then release 3-4 a year and cancel 6-8 of them while announcing new ones to generate buzz.
