The plot thinnens.
I know ok.. Ok I will open him up today for sure. these things takes time to open and check every piece. It's like an hour to do the process.
So two days ago you first posted that your box was delivered "destroyed" two days before you even made THAT post, and yet that whole hour is just too hard to find to thoroughly inspect it -- let alone the 30 seconds to open the case to make sure it's not soaking in "moldy water."
Again, you could have one, as I'm not sure why you'd lie about getting one, but the story surrounding it all is one of the most nonsensical things I've ever read on here, even for you...which is a feat in itself.
I know someone from my country (who only ships locally, otherwise I'd have linked him here) who's selling this for $915 (USD, 1288 SGD), waaaay over RRP, but is it worth that kind of money? Thoughts?
Hi just opened him up the black box seems ok nothing major damage. The straps was crazy and so nice no taping on the foam. This makes it so easy to open and close. Such a awesome idea. Feels like opening a treasure box. The black box is so heavy duty I could stand on it. Lol... The statue I took out piece by piece and took a quick look. So far looks like the superb XM packing saved my wolverine. There's no way this would have survive if it was SS no way. Just no way. I put him on my table and took used a flash light for a closer normal inspection because I don't want to miss obvious cracks on the statue from what they did to the box. Love the pics XM included to put this back in box. I already got lost on how to put things back in the box once and used it already. This feels very luxurious opening up my first XM statue. My bag came with a hole in it protections the black box. It was moist but luckily it seem ok inside again because of the water proof black box XM uses save the inside contents. If ss I would have a mold inside box for sure with 8 inches of water soaking this for a few days. I can still see the water level lines dried on my brown shipper.
Ok so the good news:
Wolverine is the best wolverine statue ever made (I'm picky and have not found any I like even when I tried really hard for a 1/4 version) he looks just like the comic wolverine I know and love. The base is freaking cool love the light up eyes which is separate from the base. Such a great idea and now I not scare to use it and light it up because I can easily change the batteries. I like the mask head best. The metal claws are really metal wow! Heavy steel metal. Not like ss with the painted chrome. I feel so special owning a XM statue. He's limited, only 999 made. Expensive yes aftermarket I paid for it. But very impress by it. Love fully sculpted statues much more than mixed media myself for the details to pop.
The bad news:
One of his metal claws fell out. But it's a clean fall not broken. Whew this made me worried so badly when I saw it. Then I realize it's just the glue that was not strong enough. I can easily fix this up like new.
Lost brown shipper totally destroyed. It's going to mold in a few weeks for sure. I wonder if I should keep this. Lol
This makes we want so many more xm statues these are so amazing! The details and poses are crazy nice. Love how they are comic style. But no freaking way I could buy so many of these. Too expensive with a crap load coming out every couple of weeks from them.
Conclusion:
Great packaging save my wolverine from the worst flood damage and worst handling I've seen in my collecting time. The solid heavy duty box saved it all.
Statues likeness, pose, details, extras like the metal claws, switch out parts, ES, makes this a must have for wolverine fans.
Xm finally gave a the art style of wolverine I waited for since I started but can't find one I like. So finally XM delivers one of my favorite characters.

It's for protection of the statues like warning signs. Really it is.. Btw will XM be at sdcc? Or Nycc?
Just noticed that Speculative Fiction has an XM Wolverine for sale, $1300.00.... Considering the prices on Ebay that's a pretty good price.
We r waiting
Post a pic of him in your collection CBG. Now.
Sorry moving for a few months it will be a while to finish my collection. I need to replace some ss with XM first. Lol
