Thanks guys Yea, I was a little late to the XM party I must say and the only reason how mine is shipping in the first batch was purely down to a window of opportunity when a fellow freak offered me his Pre Order and also got it for a great price too! Also have the MKVII pre ordered which I'm really looking forward to Once I see my first XM statue inhand I'm sure it wont be long before I'm purchasing the next one...especially after seeing their Doc Oc WIP pics last night!

Congrats to those who ordered the MK42!

Congrats! and everytime a XM piece is shipping will fire up the excitment of collectors. It's such a long wait but the product from XM is always exceed what it was shown in prototype and Ben is rigth.... it's a piece of art and unique and precious to everyone.... painter, collector and everyone involved in the whole project.
I've got my message from Mark saying my MK42 is ready to ship as well! By looking at the end product it looks amazing!
too bad it doesn't have the light up features but it will look good with other 1:4 IM statues from other manufacturers.

The only bad thing is I have just paid in full amount of Magneto last night and now I am facing another financial crisis..... I really need a slowdown or strike of Singapore sea port in order to get me through this.

Congrats guys mines shipped today aswell cant wait to receive my first XM piece and hopefully the beginning of something great

Still getting the Sideshow MKXLII Maquette aswell but just love XM's alternate options for their version...not to mention the addition of Miss Pepper Potts Here's a quick pic of Pepper which I forgot to post the other day

I'm pretty sure I'll be displaying the Stark portrait initially, then maybe the full helmet later.

Imo the XM Stark portrait is stunning, while the Pepper portrait is not my cup of tea.

Plus, I already have a Pepper with Mk 42 display in sixth scale so that's good enough for me atm.

Don't really care for that Potts sculpt. Looks very Barbie-ish.

Don't really care for that Potts sculpt. Looks very Barbie-ish.

Maybe because Potts is a business woman and not super hero wonder woman?

 

[dan350zr]

Considering the portraits are Sculpted Porcelain and not Plastic I thought XM did a pretty good job with their likeness.... I'll probably display mine with the Potts portrait...

The Potts portrait is the reason I sprung for this piece. I'll probably display all the heads, but Pepper is my girl.

No Grumpy, marker is right about the Potts sculpt. It has many features which can be associated with a Barbie doll. Google Image 'Barbie Doll' and take a look for yourself. The sculpt YANK33 posted is far superior....light years ahead of XM's. I'm gonna take a guess and say that's a Hot Toys sculpt.

If I could still get this at retail, I would prob snag it as an impulse buy since I just scored a nice bonus from work. Course, they will prob go way above retail at this point. Congrats on those getting this! Can't wait to see in hand pics, preferably next to the Mark VI maquette for comparison.
