That's basically me right now. I find myself buying from the same companies with sideshow out in the cold. I still buy sideshow, I have thanos on pre order and plan on getting Magneto and wolverine as well as long as they don't have those plain disk bases and a boring museum pose. Why am I going to buy sideshow when XM essentially outdoes them in every statue and iron studios is making really unique and dynamic pieces as well. I'm really digging their dioramas. Can't wait to see wolverine vs Juggernaut.

That's the money shot.
Thanks, bro!
I'm nervous to finally inspect it. Hope all arrives safely.

Can anyone confirm Mysterio's height? How much room does he take up In a Besta?

I have been after this piece for a little while now.
(photos & video reviews of the "skull head" fascinated me. I couldn't work out what the effect was, and how they did it).
I am so impressed by this piece. The pose is magnificent with such elegance to it.
The finishing touch of the "skull portrait" is perfect, and along with the swirling smoke on the base adds such a unique style to the statue.
= Fastball Special = Roughly 26" High (66cm). Mysterio is in a Besta unit with Besta Vassbo doors and fits nicely when shelves are lowered.
I can't stop looking at the skull head when ever I am in the room, walking past the room, it looks surreal like some sort of hologram or something.
(photos do not do this portrait justice).
The price did sting, which is generally always the case with XM, but Ninja came prepared...

Ugh, I love this piece, but I'm thinking of selling already.
Big overhaul of my collection. Too much crap. Time to streamline. : (

Fantastic piece. I was on the fence forever, but in the end found it hard to justify a 1/4 Mysterio. Not the biggest Spidey fan let alone Mysterio fan.

I've been streamlining my collection for the past three years....takes a long time to get rid of stuff anymore, but still seem to be able to move 1-2 pieces every week or two. Mostly on ebay for the most part. the buy sell forums really never moved much for me, seems to be to small of audience maybe.

I've having the same problem. I want to do eBay, but the fees and the uncertainty of sellers is killer. I don't mind selling smaller ticketed items, but some of the Sideshow/XM pieces scare me.

Yeah I really was cautious of selling on ebay to start. but after really no bites at all on the BST forums I started listing things and have probably sold over 50 items form $100 to over $2000. you lose fees but for the most part I haven't had any issues yet....though I'm sure it's coming...lol

Custom done by me... PUNISHER2000. At concept time there was planed a Spiderman mask in Mysterios left hand. But it was never done. I did one for myself for his RIGHT HAND and in memorial to "Shakespeare" as Mysterio is an actor and stunt hero. Enjoy my OOAK custom:
Custom mask and custom glowing Mysterio head also done by me:
I cleaned the original skull dome to get a better view on the skull also.
Here some moving pictures:

Todd at Spec Fiction. $879 shipped to US.
Todd's great. I pretty much only buy through him.

Shipping cost is always crazy, but when you consider the size of these XM boxes/packaging, and that it is coming from 1/2 way around the world....

Yea I looked there i thought he was in the U.S. cause I just bought lizard from him and it shipped from California....I have nice chunk of eBay bucks coming in July so I'll probably just grab one of eBay

Todd is in the US/CA. Every purchase I've made from him comes from Singapore though. I think he is a 'middle man', with contacts overseas to get stuff we can't get here.
