kayorzz just posted these over at SF... Great vids. The unmasked change of eye alignment REALLY works here, I was wrong in the end.

No ****ing kidding they do. I know I was against the change in the eye line on the unmasked head, but sometimes it is WAY better to be wrong than to be right. For those without FB... Here are two money shots.

Yeah really ... lol.
Damn, this piece looks perfect. Thanks for posting the vids over here spidey. I have to agree with you. I didn't care for the eyes when the changes were made but have to say they look great after seeing them in the video. Magnificent job by the fellas over at XM.

Man I hate light up. Please leave it off. I hate all the ss light up stuff. Yeah it looks cool but all my stuff is broken and don't work now. Also, I hate when the arc reactor has no detail because its supposed to b lit up. 99 percent of the time its not lit up and just looks wack. Please keep the lights off and give me a detailed arc reactor. No gimmicks needed here. Oh and I will order this because there are no flashing lights on him and this is coming from someone who has Cap in house and BW/Magneto on PO

Yeah I thought it was a mistake as well, but the video really shows how it works in a dynamic 3D setting. I think I am going to have to agree with whoever said, and I think it was loric or neme, that these guys have earned a lot of trust in how they develop their art. Honestly, they have done a great job with these head sculpts. As for bringing the vids and pics over, well I try to be helpful at times... lol.

It just doesn't get any better than this. To see your favorite character done on an epic level...it brings a tear to your eye. Times like this is why I love this hobby.
Well put wanderlai

This thing is a piece of crap.
PM me if you want to get rid of it. Hate to see this cluttering up peoples collections.

He looks great in this video. I'm still ok that I passed, but I think this piece is great!
When I step back and try to be sensible about this hobby, I am ok not spending 1000 on one statue. It's easy to lose a sense of how much something really costs when we are buying statues left and right. This is 500 more than a new sideshow 1/4 scale piece. I get that it has a lot more detail, but I think that this price point brings it into a whole other tier of this hobby. Not everyone can afford this price. To be honest, this scares me a bit, because I feel like sideshow will raise their prices a bit knowing people are willing to dish out this kind of money so quickly.
Once again, I want to state that the statue looks amazing!

Yep! This goes past just being a statue this a piece of artwork!
wander buddy did you secure one?

Yeah pretty much. Now they have to hit it put of the park with the production pieces. Based on their Cap and Hulk they can totally get that done, but this will be the make or brake statue for them me thinks. If it sores, like I think it will, they will be set for a good long while.

That price point is very high, but you get what you pay for. I can't justify it on Magneto, now Spiderman or Batman could be another story.

Well SS has been raising it's prices for a few years now, PF's were $350 and now the average price is $400+ .... The few 1:4 scale statues that SS has done that are really detailed like Predator 2 are like $1200 so SS does have some statues in that price range.. IMO, SS really can't raise the price on their PF's much more without raising quality and details a lot more also... otherwise nobody will buy their stuff...

Positive vibes sent! It will be official in production. Can't see XM not making sure of it with their first instant sellout!

I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to TCSC (Kenny). He was able to secure me a Magneto with a coin. If any of you guys are still trying to get one pm him. He is top notch. I don't know if he can get you one with a coin but he may be able to at least get you a Magneto...and ultimately that's what it's all about. Kayorzz and Scoots were also very responsive and were willing to help me get a Magneto but they were out of coins at the time. I've learned my lesson on waiting for the US retailers to get or put up stock. I was almost left on the side of the road. I will lock up future XM purchases for the hot items through one of them.
