Seems like the luster of XM is gone. A lot of mistakes and massive delays on every piece.

I'm still excited to receive it... plus any mistakes are being corrected by XM

It's not like the popularity of Wonder Woman has all of a sudden gone out of style...

So far XM's 1/4 game is still strong.. Look at the recent 1/4 they shipped for Spiderman, Brown Wolverine, Predator and Alien.. they all looked so good in hand.. I think it's just the 1/6 that they are new in the market for XM.. Hopefully they step up their game from next shipment onward!

Brown Wolverine is one i have on pre order. Yes, he looks great on the in-hand pictures

But...
I have Mystique. She is a little bigger (it's not bad for me but it is not 1/4).
I have Samurai Bane. The green plastic tubes on the tank stink so bad that I have the tank back in the box. The whole room smelled of plastic.

I don't have Predator but I saw photos of the paint job. And it didn't look that great.

And now this thing with Wonder Woman.

I love the XM statues and all the other XM statues I have are terrific but what mistakes they have made lately should be mentioned. After all, each statue costs a small fortune

They have been mentioned multiple times, I was one the first to complain about Mystique being to big.

As for the Predator paint application, will have to wait for in hand responses as XM has said the paint looks different in various lighting and in person... For Bane, I wouldn't keep the tubes in the enclosed box, just leave them out in the garage for awhile, the smell should go away... But I agree it's still annoying you have to do that...

Right, and i love her. I knew the statue was bigger than I ordered it to be. It wasn't a surprise to me.
But that shouldn't happen

In our German forum pictures were placed showing that the black paint is peeling off and the veins in the mouth look as if they had been drawn with a colored pencil. Is not an isolated case after what the owner wrote. But I don't have Predator and I can only pass on what was written there.

The part was in the attic for several weeks. Still stinks.
