Here's some fun facts for you buddy. XMs cap stomps all over SS's product quality in every way possible. You don't have to like the pose, the portrait, or even the statue itself! Quality wise SS loses at every angle. The packaging poops all over anything SS has ever put together. The paint application is something I've never seen from any other manufacturer period. Its flawless and perfect. Every line, every color, executed perfectly. Display options? Let's not even go there as we all know what SS's version of an exclusive is right now! Another fun surprise? XMs captain weighs just as much as Apocalypse does! Pound for pound they are identical! Please tell me what your excuse and every other SS fanboy will have when Hulk, Black Widow, Jron Man, Magneto, Thanos, Pheonix, Wolverine, and Antman come out perfectly executed just like Cap?
I don't understand why people are so quick to tear down a brand new company that is doing everything right! They want your feedback. They make changes based on what you and I want to see in a statue! Our input matters! They actually care what you think!
Tell me they are priced to high or tell me you don't like the Sculpt itself. Tell me anything but the BS you and every other SS fanboy is posting and ill shut my mouth!!! XM is real and they are making a large impact in the collector community right now. SS will be forced to rethink their strategy and inevitably focus on their quality and artistic designs. Every company will have to up their game because if they don't XM will take a portion of the market share that isn't coming back. I can't even begin to fathom some of the responses I have read in this very thread. My statue is cracked but I will make due and live with it since it's only one crack! I don't expect perfection because I know these are hand painted so a couple blemishes are fine by me!!! Yeah XM has only done one statue so far. They also check every single individual statue before allowing the product to ship out to you. XM touches up the defects. They fix bad pieces before you get the liberty of opening them up yourself. XM actually cares about what shows up to your doorstep!! They take pride in their quality yet people are so quick to judge? Is this too much to ask of a company that has been doing this for 20 years? Especially when a different company that has been doing it for less then a year considers it a basic standard?
.
SS used to focus on quality. Now they focus on quantity. Business is business. I understand that but the first response given by a customer service rep to a collector with a large gaping crack in his statue is take this credit or get bent?? You go ahead and support that crap. I refuse too. I don't expect perfection but when I'm dropping $650 to have a high quality statue shipped to my home, that's exactly what I expect. Why wouldn't I? It's what I paid for!!
