I'm with you on the SS colours for sure. Match the XM colours better imo.

My thought exactly. Sculpt is awesome as we've come to expect but I prefer that if you're doing a line / series of statues then its good to have a consistent approach so that they look like they belong together. This looks more like a realistic version whereas Cap I don't think would fit in standing side by side (maybe wrong - perhaps someone at XM could post some pics to see how they work together?). I definitely think a switch out head would be good but then again it might not fit the overall look of the piece anyway.

In this instance I prefer the lighter, comic style colours of the SS hawkeye. In fact I actually prefer the SS pose as well but hey, horses for courses everyone has a different one.

As someone who has the XM Captain America, he does not look cartoony at all. I have him next to SS Cyclops and Cyclops looks a lot more cartoony then Capt. does...

I think Capt. and Hawkeye will look great next to each other... Capt. will just look younger and clean shaven where as Hawkeye looks more mature and experienced..

Man....I promise I wasn't going to say any comparisons about XM vs. SS in the SS thread.....I didn't say anything about that in the XM thread.

This XM Hawkeye beats the heck out of the SS one. I don't even think its close.

Everything works perfectly. I think some folks had a false impression that Cap looks too cartoony (so to speak), when like others who have him have stated time and time again (like a broken record) Cap does not have a cartoony face!!

Hawkeye has definitely shot up to my #2 most wanted XM statue behind Magneto.

This is all kinds of win, win, win!!!

Man I'm really loving how XM is applying some uniformity into the bases and poses of the Avengers for those wanting to display them in a team setting. Unlike a lot of the Sideshow PFs released over the years these all seem to work extremely well together. I really hope the same care is applied to the X-Men lineup with the Sentinel base tie-in.

Uuuummmm, If I didn't know any better, I would say that you can see the new Black Widow head in the pic with Hawkeye, Cap, Hulk and Black Widow!

Is that the new head? or is mine own eyes deceiving me?

Never mind...I think its the same head from before.

Black Widow is being shown with her old long hair portrait in that picture above, I don't think they have shown the new portrait outside of a few renderings. I'm sure will see a painted prototype soon.

Is BW up for release next or is she after Iron Man 42?
