That's exactly my reaction. This sucks...
I looove XM, but this is another one of their statues that will need a custom head to be perfect. It's getting old now.

"Everything is going according to plan."
XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Red Skull! The diabolical mastermind is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. The arch nemesis of Captain America since the beginning of time, Red Skull plagues the world with schemes of world domination and genocide. A must have for any Captain America fans and perfect companion piece to XM's Captain America and Winter Soldier.
Trained personally by Hitler, Johann Shmidt was awarded a unique uniform with a grotesque red skull mask, and he emerged as the Red Skull. His role was the embodiment of Nazi intimidation, while Hitler could remain the popular leader of Germany. The Red Skull was appointed head of Nazi terrorist activities with an additional large role in external espionage and sabotage. He was spectacularly successful, wreaking havoc throughout Europe in the early stages of World War II. The propaganda effect was so great that the United States government decided to counter it by creating their own equivalent using the recipient of the lost Operation Rebirth, Steve Rogers, Captain America. The two counterparts soon clashed in what would be a series of engagements throughout the war, ending with a final battle that left the Skull buried under the rubble of a bombed building. Because he was immediately exposed to an experimental gas there, he remained in suspended animation for decades.Johann was eventually rescued in modern times by the terrorist organization, HYDRA. The Skull quickly subverted a HYDRA cell to his own ambitions of world conquest and the death of Captain America.

Agreed. I've been eyeing this from the start but I prefer the portraits on the Allied Charge Red Skull and will stick with that one.

Anyone know when Red skull will be close to shipping? After The new year?
it's the stupid grin on the head sculpts. The facial expression is off on both head sculpts. The rest of the statue is great (except for the dumb move to make the hydra arm band black), and if they had a menacing expression on one of the head sculpts I would be all in on this. But for now I'm out if these are the only 2 headsculpts
EDIT: If someone makes a high quality custom head for this I may pick it up at a discount after it ships.
Maybe the exclusive head from the Sideshow AC Red Skull will fit on this...
Looking forward to it, think it looks great. Don’t know the reliability but XM’s European distributor says it’s «shippibg now» from Singapore.
Pretty sure that is a restriction coming from Marvel.
I know the love doesn’t seem to be the highest for this piece but I got to say, I really love it. My favourite Red Skull statue so far. So many small details, very well made. Divided into surprisingly many parts. I know the portraits have been criticized but I really like the laughing face sculpt. Base could’ve been a bit smaller, very tall in total because of the base and the flag. A few mobile photos to follow.

Does the Cosmic Cube light up or is it just an illusion in one of the above pics?
