Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I'd love to own this piece. Its beautiful.

Need to decline though. The $700 price tag is just too much. Surprised everyone is cool with it.


As for the XM, they're both great pieces. Its a matter of personal preference. No wrong choice from what I'm seeing.

I like what I am seeing and feel the regular head is pretty OK.
I mean Remy is in full action mode and while jumping and running around his hair flows freely and follows his movements.
Besides I like the focused and mildly annoyed/angry look of the regular head.



With the recent Rogue PF Sideshow showed that they know very well how to overcome engineering challenges and make a sturdy statue and I have no doubt they will repeat that trick here.
Space is really tight in my display room but I am seriously considering the Collector's Edition of this amazing statue.
I think it would be an amazing display to have Remy face The Juggernaut after the unstoppable behemoth has punched his way into the Danger Room.

That's what it all comes down to. No point in debating which is better. XM speaks more to me, but SS's is good too. All subjective. That said...XM's is objectively better.

I'm also a little surprised by how cool people are with the price...of course, with what I'm paying for the XM, this is a steal.

Let’s face it most of the humans on Earth will think most of us are bonkers forking out at these prices for this hobby anyway.

Prices in statues have been going up for sometime, i don't know if the trade war is making them worse in SS case i can't say.


They are pieces of art in my view, so people don't always have issues buying art. Plus all the stories behind them bring that much more enjoyment.

XM's is better in terms of details and texturing. But that price though. It's 1150 SGD but resellers want 1150 USD plus shipping. SSC's Gambit will probably be like $750 shipped.

$1150 SGD is basically $825 USD. The big difference is ES and limitability of XM over SS.
