XM Studios Brown Wolverine

[It's Sisko]

Here's a bit of 4K footage of this guy that I forgot to post earlier. I personally loved this piece when I saw it and ended up ordering it.

^ Nice. Can't wait. *For me* it's the best Wolverine piece to date.

I though the claws arms were pointing forward

4 sets. 1 for katanas, 1 bone pointed forward, 1 metal pointed forward, and 1 metal you see in the still above. (so 2 metal sets)

my god, and I though prime 1 had a lot of extras

 

[Craig Walker]

yep

 

[It's Sisko]

Yeah, XM don't skimp on the switchouts

 

[Asdf]

Certainly dont

Just think how many variations of display you can do with that many arms, swords, and 2 heads. You wouldn't display a bone claw with a metal claw, but man there's a ton of options, then multiply 2X with the 2 heads.

I just wished that I liked this piece a little bit more, because the piece is awesome, just cant get over those little things

 

[Craig Walker]

See that orders now closed for this.

I tend to be much more critical when it comes to XM pieces. Because of the difficulty in securing a PO and mainly because of their overall cost, I find myself needing an XM piece to be absolutely perfect in order for me to pull the trigger on one lately. I live in the US so basically any XM statues I am interested in will essentially cost me about a minimum of a $1000 to buy. That's a hell of a lot of dough for a standard sized 1/4 statue. No way I'm dropping that kind of cash and then I find myself having issues with a piece. It's the reason I passed on Storm. She looks absolutely gorgeous but I despise the Jim Lee costume on her so I passed on her.

I find myself to be a bit less critical when POing a sideshow statue. Because they are easier and cheaper to buy than XM statues, I tend to let a few things that may bother me to slide. The brown Wolverine PF is a perfect example. I do like the piece overall but I did have some small issues with the piece before I bought it. I thought his shorts were too long, his belt too thin, his boot laces unnecessary, and the lack of hair on his arms irritating. Funny enough I had no issues with the portraits and that's what most collectors complained about. However, since I needed and wanted a brown costumed Wolverine in my collection, I let the minor issues I had with the PF slide. I couldn't probably do that with this brown XM Wolverine because it would cost more than double the PF if I POd it. I realize I'm more critical of the brown XM Wolverine but given the cost, it's the reality of the situation...even if it isn't exactly fair.

Well said!

Well said!

Having said all that, I just dropped $1400 and prepaid for the XM Transformation HULK. I have zero regrets though. That's a piece that totally blew me away. IMO, it's the best HULK statue I've ever seen and I knew that I had to have it.

 

[Craig Walker]

Nice. I'm getting both.

Have Hulk, Wolverine and Doc Oct ordered.

That's a lot of goodness right there. Congrats! The ONLY XM piece that totally floored me and I didn't PO was the HULKbuster. The overall price tag on that piece is hard to swallow. However, I think it's possibly the BEST statue ever made in our hobby. Even though I don't want to spend $3000 on any statue, I find myself keeping an eye on that piece in the B/S/T areas and I feel my resolve weakening.

The HB sculpt is awesome, but I didn't like the IM execution. The face is just weird (to me).

I have the XM Rising Sun Deathstroke statue on PO myself. On occasion, I'll bite on the ones that really wow me.

I understand. We all have our preferences. I almost wish something about the HB bothered me. It'd save me a lot of money.

Yup, some of those XM pieces are just too damn good to say no to.
