XM Studios seem to be better than Sideshow but I wouldn't hold them up as a great example either. Tony Stark sculpt from the Ironman statue at US$600+, pic taken from their own website.

Heres the production piece
Isn't it awesome how quick XM tweaks their stuff in reaction to their fans criticisms? To bad the Reeve Superman didn't get that type of love eh?
Gues it depends on the piece too. Some have been amazing while others suck some serious **** GraysonYeah, I know, what I meant is: with Sideshow, more money doesn't translate to better QC
But that doesn't look much like Robert Downey Jr? For $600+ I'd expect a lot more than that.
I'm not that familiar with either, I had to go look up the Sideshow Superman PF as well (I assume that's what you meant). To me it looks closer to Reeves than this does to RDJ ....but SS's production piece will be a big step down in terms of paint....
That does look like RDJ. Try PF Thor that was already released, don't resemble the actor at all.
What? No I don't need to compare to yet another comic piece. I don't care.
RDJ is probably the 2nd most produced sculpt behind Bruce Lee at this stage .....he might even be first come to think of.... that means you're comparing against more than a few amazing Hot Toys sculpts. Other than the very first release, I think every HT one is better than that. I wouldn't pay $600+ for that statue personally but I'm sure others are happy with it.
I've got nothing personally against XM or any other company ....well Enterbay maybe LOL .....more competition is better.
If XM produce a Conan piece, I'll definitely check it out.....look at that I brought it all full circle
Ok guys, I've been reading in the various Conan stats trying to decide which one to get. Just wanted to get a general feel for which would be the best Conan stat to have.
I like this sculpt but the pose not so much for this stat. I don't think you can see him properly. The ARH snake and slave girl dio feels loopy to me especially the slave girl. The prize looks best to me but it doesn't scream barbarian to me. More like thief in the night or raider. The fury stat now looks best but I don't know if you can see Conan so much as the ape. I really love frazetta so I'm waiting for the proto pics but the face sculpt seems much too blurred? for me.
Question now is should I get this now while it's still available. Get the prize or wait for more info for the ARH barbarian stat?

Weak paint job is what gets me worried about ARH, along with ridicolous price tag.
This Conan has it all imho, can't really go wrong with this or the Fury or the Prize, they are all home runs.
Have ARH had production paint job problems? I haven't heard that.
Sideshow its a given that the paint job will be a long way below proto pics. I am worried that this Rage PF will have Conan painted as one solid lump of orange.
