XM has reached the point within the last 2 years that they feel they are too big, popular, and busy to give a damn anymore about quality or the details. Shame because when they were new they listened for the better.

Now they have zero F's to give about most things. Ironically the time they could have spent fixing this, they spent sculpting Supergirl's face to be worse than it ever was. Go fig.

Got my Version A earlier this week, just unboxed and assembled it.

Overall I love it. Unlike many I’m actually a big fan of Professor X. Especially when every other writer decides he’s not an a hole with some huge secret. I highly anticipated this and it mostly looks great.

Bad:
- assembling is a bit annoying and not the easiest. Not terrible. But not a cakewalk.
- he’s slightly crossed eyed
- he’s jabbing his drifting eye
- left arm isn’t completely flush with the wheelchair arm

Good:
- sculpting is excellent
- I finally got one of those plaques! About frickin time.




I’ll probably cross parts and display like this. I don’t know, I just like it.


Finger placement, all kinds of wrong. That’s not your forehead or temple, Chuck.



Suits looking sharp bro!


Arm and arm have a little separation between them. People looking at this in your collection probably won’t notice.


Body, foot rest, feet connection was a minor pain. But those shoes are sharp! Lol




So the plaque is Version B, so it doesn’t exactly match my statue but that’s fine. The art print is version A holding the helmet though. Does version B get the same Art print? Or will it have a proper hover chair Art print? I’m curious.


Certainly not perfect but the positive outweighs the bad for me.

Congratulations on the statue.
I also like this version better than the hoover chair.
Judging from your photos, the sculpt is awesome.
I didn't order the statue, but I like it best with the Magneto helmet.

Nice photos Peedi, finger to the temple doesn't look bad at all here.

Thanks.

It doesn’t look terrible but I’m still not ok with that one part of this. His fingers should be touching the temple on the side of his head, if not his actual forehead. This hand just isn’t there. One saving grace though is up close his fingers aren’t touching yet, so it can be conceivable he's in mid motion to his temple.

In reality XM just should sculpted the angle of the arm to be higher so his fingers go to the proper place.
