Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Nice way to get more x23 sales.
The arm swap does nothing for me. I get it, but meh.


There still has to be a second head. She has long hair in the group preview.
Or should we expect a variant?

I think XM might be my route for this character.

Probably the stupidest move I've seen yet from Sideshow this year.

Lame EX. Teases a long haired portrait, doesn't deliver. Teases a machine gun, gives us old fashioned revolvers with silencers. Only looks good from one angle, looks derpy from the other angles (not to mention, she looks like she's leaning). Well, they certainly know the right way to push me to spend my money with the competitor.

This royally pisses me off.

Wow not only am I upset to see that there is no alternate portrait but I think that is a really weak EX.

Definitely a gut punch, i was scrolling down page expecting to see a Coh only to find there wasn't any or a different gun. Granted i do prefer the claw arm to a gun, but the lack of Coh was quite disappointing to say the least, why SS would show that and not deliver is beyond me.

Sideshow is funny. They give you the least amount possible for your money and raise the prices. A lame exclusive.

XM prices are a bit more but at least you get packaging that is the best in the business, 2-3 alternate heads and arms, switchout bodies now, art print, instruction manual that tells you where all the pieces go, their pieces tend to have bigger bases but you know you are getting your money’s worth.

Well, I'm glad you like it. I personally hate the EX arm. I get it, she's a shapeshifter, but I don't want a Mystique statue so that I can have bits of X-23 displayed. Her presence is enough without having to resort to gimmicks. I feel the same anytime I see a statue with plastic colored "energy" effects.

XM also has better production quality and smaller ED sizes.

Plus a smaller edition size. XM doesn't saturate the market with pieces. Might not be a big deal, but if you ever decide to sell, you won't get back what you paid. I am seeing that with some SS pieces I am trying to sell now.

Edition sizes are becoming a top concern for me.
