If it’s an XM, yes, jump on that for less than $900. Hell, jump on it for $1k. If you’re near NW Florida let me know and I’ll come get it myself.

I've seen XM colossus go for $2000+shipping on the aftermarket.
I'd leap at it for that price... It's a phenomenal piece, one of my favorites in my collection. Don't think you'll be disappointed if it's one you've been eyeing.

Not sure if all of those pics were taken separately and then put together side by side. Or each piece placed side by side and then the pic was taken.
But I have to say ...that pic has some scaling issues. Cyclops look bigger than Gambit ...and taller than Beast. Wolverine looks bigger than he should be compared to Psylocke and Cyclops. And Beast has good thickness, but should be taller than Rogue. Right now if Beast were to stand straight, it seems he would be the same height as Rogue.
I want Beast for my collection, but now I'm worried about his scale.

They're all photoshopped together.

I thought it was obvious but these are all photoshopped together just from stock images. I have both gambit and Scott, there's no scaling issues.

Correct, I paid about $1600 shipped to me in April. It’s only going up from there.

Like I said, I didn't know if the pics were put together or not. I wasn't going to speculate. It's only obvious if you have a few of these pieces. I only have Wolverine in that pic, so it's not obvious to me.
And so it's true, that pic has scaling issues. Not in the actual physical sense, but in the pictorial sense.
Either way, it's good to point it out. And then find out it's due to the photoshop.

xm adressed the size concern on facebook, they showed an unposed model of beast with specs and it was correct. i myself had reservations but after seeing that and looking at the pose some more i feel better about it, both knees are bent and he is leaning forward. i think he should be fine

I want to see that Beast statue next to other XM pieces to have a true opinion about the size. Maybe it will be shown in some stores soon.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I was jus thinking the same when I saw the picture. Cyclops is the only one I'd get as an individual piece, but as a set they don't look half bad.
