Unfortunately the XM version makes the Mags on throne look small. So I’m going with the SS version

Yeah, too bad the actual piece comes with the awful knee up and crossed left leg, terrible pose, trying not to pee, conveniently chopped in this pic.

I went with Sideshow myself. The forward moving pose pushed me towards it in the end. The angles that I can display it at just seemed better. Love the XM piece, the portraits, the detail on the costume but just couldn't get over the awkward raised leg pose.

Either way i would have had to compromise so just made the call. I'm so sick of looking at pics and vids at this point i don't want to see this again until it's in hand.

While Mystique isn't on my wants list, i have to admit, XM rules over the Sideshow piece, with regards to the pose.

Always telling when a customer is willing to spend double on a competitors product. Personally think SS's mystique would’ve been a hit if they’d had a second long hair portrait and made the pistols more realistic. Though it seems to be doing well enough regardless considering almost waitlisted.

Personally i love the attitude in the SS pose more than the xm.

If only SS had made the guns realistic or made the EX claws for both hands than i would've bought theirs.

In the end I went with XM Mystique also... The problem I had with SS version was the portrait wasn't all that feminine and the huge guns just look goofy on her.... as for the pose, Yeah XM's is very similar to their original Black Widow pose but I'll take a leg up vs the exaggerated hyper extended knee that SS has done with several of their female statues.

The XM heads on the SS body... Only in my dreams.
At the end of the day, no Mystique for me.

Is there a price, dimensions, and release date on the XM one? To compare with the SSC one?
