Lol or maybe people just like different things.

I don't own either, I generally don't have a problem with budget (within reason) and I've been debating picking up the Sideshow version over this one. Let's ignore the fact this one is literally double the cost for a minute, while the details are obviously incredible, it's a completely different style. This one is much more realistic and would fit in a collection that's very heavily XM based. That said, if someone were to have a collection with a lot of sideshow pieces instead, I can absolutely see why someone would be more drawn to the sideshow version.

I see the arguments but when it is all said and done, the key is having options. And Cable has 3 great ones now in 1/4 scale. Congrats to Cable fans having the ability to choose. I wish all characters had that (or even one version).

No way. If you don't salivate at literally everything XM does, you're just a poor schmo who cannot afford anything more than a $10 action figure.

bro 90% of the cases or more is due to a money/budget issue (asuuming space is not a problem), of course there are those who have money and still choose to buy the sideshow, think about that 90% before make a generalization

First, I'm not your bro. I've never met you before.

Second, I'm not the one making the generalizations. There's lots of reasons why someone could favor one over the other, yes including current ownership and not wanting to go through the trouble of making a change. Maybe they don't see the value? Ability to spend $1300+ is different than willing to, and just because you like this style more, that doesn't mean every single person who's into statues does. Some people really prefer the comic accurate look, who are you to say and judge what other people want to put in their collection?

Seriously don't know what is wrong with people these days.

Yeah, pretty inaccurate generalization. Example, I own both Wolverines from XM and SS. SS made the final cut

Me neither, Sir. But I think the X-Force fans will disagree until they get their version.
