This happens with collecting, sometimes you have to wait things out for certain characters. If you give it enough time once it sells out you may be able to get just what you paid for.

I've had to sell other XM pieces at a loss as once i got it i really didn't like them.

I'm pretty sure the reason they came out with this one so soon was because of what happened with the last one.

People were upset with the original portrait not being Asian enough. People hated the new portrait because they thought she looked like an alien. Then the variant was so low on ES it had the original portrait everyone had really preferred.

So no matter what the last one was mess, so they didn't want to wait that long.

XM suppose to listen to feedback but don't want to listen to others telling them they need to get better portrait sculpts.

Well I agree with all of this. I do hope that the version that is released next will satisfy all of us in all the ways that we are hoping for in what should be a better representation of Psylocke. I can only imagine that this next version must be better and will have more attention to detail as there has been such backlash with the last statue that was certainly not kept quiet.

As for XM and getting items and then having regrets after receiving the items.....I am desperately needing that XM Hawkeye for my Avengers line....But am sooooo hoping that IF and WHEN I ever get him that I will have no regrets.

Hopefully, they don't do anymore Psylocke for a very long time. We literally have 4 PFs and the XM to choose from in terms of 1/4 scale. We need some new characters, or at least repeats that haven't been done in a decade.

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

Hopefully we'll get another Christmas deal like we were seeing this past year.
