Prime 1 will have no effect on XM (two different styles and AD). Not with their boring museum poses. However, let me know when Prime 1 does a Ghost Rider.

That all depends on how much the market outside XM's license ultimately contributes to their sales.

This can definitely have an effect on XM even if not on yours and Grumpy's preference, no matter how good of a product XM makes.

I'd agree if they had ES's of 2000. Also, depends on what characters Prime 1 does, cost (that will affect Prime 1 in territories outside the US since SS is a distributor).

Goes both ways qz. I won't lie...I'm intrigued to see what they do...and more importantly WHO they do. Their quality is exceptional...so I don't want to sound like a spoil sport.

Also, I like competition...it will give XM something more to strive for.

They would have to do some off-the-wall characters to get my attention away from XM. Although, XM seems like they want to dig deep too.

I love XM so much because of all the switch outs, that is usable and the extra step they do like doc strange's base and BB's / medusa's dog chrome parts. Exciting action poses, unmatched details on many, great bases etc. sure they have some work they need to do on female portraits but I love thier products and ES to not kill the products they put out and flood the market making them worthless like some other statues. Keeps the collectors interested and buying more on both sides for ES and non ES buyers.
Prime 1 will make the game more interesting if they are global meaning to compete with XM in Singapore and making all companies step up the game even more for survival of the fittest to see who can get most customers. This can bring back lower ES, more extras, better prices, etc.
But on topic GR as of now is my most wanted 1/4 statue so far. I mean I've never seen or own a statue on a full size 1/4 bike before? Does it get any better than that? Thank you XM! Please continue to push the envelope to wow us more and more.

This Ghost Rider is big and badass, but it will not dethrone Magneto because the Mag concept is superior. I don't mean to belittle the GR piece, but he's just on a motorcycle; the concept isn't on Magneto level, although the execution looks superb.

If that happens, then it's less competition for XM pieces. Works for me.

Thanks, it's a great hobby and anything can change around for the best or worst. So much space and money as well to obtain these things. As for pics? I posted them before and let's just say it caused some problems. Might be best to leave that alone for now. Don't want to cause problems for a few pages for the mods. I know they need a break from time to time to rest a little bit and enjoy some time to do other things without having to worry that all hell broke lose when they are gone for a few hours.
They will be more happy if we stay on topic for now.
