I guess the execution is sloppy, though the actual work isn't. I don't think they understand the concept at the factory. You look at the box, and it looks like a drawing even though it is the actual statue. I don't think they get that it's supposed to look like that and not EVERY other statue they have ever painted. The biggest issue and my only real complaint is the shading. It's all fade when it should be crisp lines. It's ironic that if a total novice was doing this with a paint brush, they would actually achieve the correct result because they don't know how to feather and shade.

Yes but it's not like they need carrier pigeons to get the message across. Can't someone at Diamond pick up the phone and explain it to them? Shouldn't this have been done when they produced the prototypes?I mean we, the customers who didn't even go to comic-cons, have a decent idea what the end product should look like. How can the people painting the statues be this out of touch. Even if this was an honest mistake for a few initial runs, I find it hard to let Diamond off the hook for letting this continue.

With you there, I too am in this solely because of the Rogue statue. And possibly Gambit and Logan to keep her company. Let's hope they get their sh*t together before it's Rogue's turn.

Wolverine arrived yesterday finally! (No idea why Zavvi took so long to ship him compared to Magneto!)

Overall not too bad paint wise (will post pics later)

We have Jean & Deadpool next, wonder when we will find out who will be after them?

That's too bad! I have Jean Grey on order with hopes to get her soon. I was looking forward to seeing Storm.

Me too... they have to do a Deadpool when he is barely on the series.

I'm surprised Deadpool got a bust before the main cast, I get he's Deadpool and super popular but you would think he might fit better as an SDCC/NYCC exclusive given his scant cameo's in X-Men TAS

Hope Zach can clear this all up asap. Would be so annoying if they cancel the line right away.
