I hated Hoult as Beast from day one. Never seemed witty enough for me in those movies.

SS should make this like cyclops. No exclusive but with switchout. That would really get the international market and be a competitive price advtange vs XM. Buying SS exc is same as buying XM for asian region.

I disagree 100%. Exclusives is a must and comparing this to XM is not even close. XM edition size are set at 999 or lower. Ssc mass produce most of there statues. Not even sure about your statement on regional market because ssc is worldwide and some of XM are worldwide or Asian market only.

I agree completely. Just make one version with a switch out head and arm.

I think his point was solely from a price perspective irregardless of ES/production, that living outside the US, if there is an Exclusive the only way to get it is by ordering through sideshow of course, but to order an Exclusive from sideshow is much more expensive compared to buying a regular locally in his country. I?ve seen many people not living in the US give the same sentiment over the years.
And just the same, us in the US buying XM statues, I?ve seen many people outside the US say now we in the US know what it feels like when they order Exclusives from sideshow.

What he meant is buying Sideshow Exclusive from outside US.
An example for me, I live in Singapore and I bought my Sideshow Gambit Exclusive for $1268 SGD after shipping and import tax, which is about $930 USD after conversion. I can easily buy an XM piece at that same price at $1.2k SGD as a local, and for me, I don't need to pay any shipping fees for XM statues, because XM is based in my country.

I'm an ex or fail guy... but a standard PF costs over $200 US to post to Australia these days which is nuts.
I got the Predalien life size bust shipped here for that back in the day...

You’re basically complaining about shipping, taxes and not the exclusivity of a statue. If SSC didn’t release EX than you can buy it locally for cheaper the price because you don’t have to pay the shipping fees. Well, I can say the same for me. I have to pay an absorbent amount of shipping if I want a statue from XM. I’m not going to complaint about it because I wanted the statue.
This is a hobby and having something rarer (exclusive) are more enticing for me to spend my hard earned money. If I want a limited statue, I’m more inclined to buy it. I want my statues to retain as much value as possible given how much they cost. XM argument IMHO doesn’t hold water because there statues are so limited compared to SSC.
