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

I have a feeling that XM may take the rogue and psylocke round too. not sure if they are doing an Emma or X-23.

have you seen the hand? Is she holding another dagger, so you can display her with dual daggers, or maybe a handgun? Its pretty well hidden in the 3D render and this painted image.

Yup, I'm in total agreement. Can't get over the pose on this XM version. Portrait is killer, tho.

But I'm also disappointed that the SSC version doesn't have a long-haired COH. I still like her, but I'll wait to get her. There's no rush now.

This mystique is on point. Hair looks a little flat tho, like medusa. All one shade of RED. XM could take not of sideshows hair paint. that would make this un-passable for me

SS will take rogue, god bottle is sculpting rogue, he's like bullseye when it comes to women, he never misses.

Agreed. Also, I'm assuming that there's a huge cost difference for US buyers when choosing between SS and XM, but is the gap negligible for collectors in other parts of the world?

I don't see cost come up often as a consideration for people choosing between the two, but isn't the out-of-pocket cost difference on Mystique something like $500+ for US buyers, at least?

Only due to shipping. Straight statue prices, maybe a $200 difference. For the high quality proven QC, change outs, packaging it is all worth.

Find an XM piece you love and bite the bullet. Even if it’s just once so you can see the difference.
