XM Studios Quicksilver

Never hurts to bump it up a notch, but what exactly do you see wrong with XM paint apps?

It's hard to put my finger on it. I think maybe they can work on there shading so that the colors seem more realistic. This is most evident in the faces. I think they need to change the colors they're using as the dark shading. It could also be that they need more depth and shades of color overall.... I'm not 100% sure though because I'm basing it off photos. They're sculpt concepts are so dang good that they deserve top notch paint apps.

They've improved quite a bit from when Capt. was released. I think it's helped that they got Eric on board with the portraits... Paint apps have been a problem with most companies, Poison Ivy, Red Sonja, IM2 Black Widow PF all have had flat paint apps on their faces, nowhere the pop the prototypes had. Something they need to work out with the factories.

Say what! I thought I could pass but he looks perfect. Perfect. There is no way they can pull off that running effect

 

[RagingBull]

I thought this was going to be one or the other but XM posted this

If that is the case I might have to get this one as well but my XM orders are mounting up

That running piece is awesome!

 

[marker2037]

Damn, the running pose is insane. Looks fantastic. I'm not sure they can pull it off that well, but I'm much more interested in this thread now.

Another statue that comes to my house.

Incredible. Love that all the lines in the costume seems to be toned down. Never was a fan of the armored look. It could just be the color they added to the costumes but they look really good.

Not sure it will work 100% out like the render, but it can come close to it just check out sideshow green lantern excl that effect is cool too now imagine if they put that clear resin just right it is possible to look insane! But like you said 100% is not possible.

Not crazy about the running effect, but love the museum pose. Wher we get both, it ends up being a win and a must buy for me.

That's the best running effect I've seen on a statue yet.... Looks insane.... To bad they don't have the DC license this would of been the perfect Flash statue..

I don't think Sideshow lacks the imagination to conceptualize something like this. They are very capable.

I guess they have their reasons...

Maybe SS just prefer there museum poses over the more dynamic kinda poses, which is fine but yeah SS are more than capable if they wanted to, I'm sure

I would expect the gloves would be matching his boots more.... since they look too plain and simplistic in design.... should have matched to his belt, costume and boots and show more details.

and if I would like to know if these 2 poses can be placed side by side or show separately and the base should link up to each other...

 

[BigWhammo]

Simply put, bought.

 

[AC_808]

Yup, this is turning into a great piece! Leaning more towards buying it now...
