This one is truly stellar. It has amazing presence without being a space hog. Unfortunately, I ended up with an extra one I need to get rid of.

XM Studios News

"A clarification on Mysterio's Dome Helmet Translucency. The final products are treated with > Sandblasting < to help remove noise, create a more consistent and cleaner texture on the dome. The resulting product will be more opaque as compared to the PO prototype (which did not undergo sandblasting). It is not a defect. We will be updating the online product pics soon to reflect this update. The process is individually administered by hand, not machine so there will be slight variations in the finish. Translucency effects of the dome are highly dependent on lighting set up so please consider this when comparing photos taken by different collectors."

It seemed pretty clear that the pictures with any kind of direct lighting made the skull clearer under the dome.

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

Hard to justify with photos until you see it in person. Freaking vendor hasn't shipped mine yet >.<

I tried putting it on like that and heard a crack like sound. So I took the smoke off and found it much easier to place the cape on and then slowly put the smoke in place after the body and cape was assembled. Review coming on this impressive statue and pics to follow.
This is very very important. Wished I saw this tip earlier. I followed the instruction and struggled a little bit.

I was planning to sell this guy because of limited space. After I set him up, my modern Thor is on Ebay now

Because of the cape. Most statues with a sculpted floating cape have huge boxes.
