OK, let me start this off with MASSIVE props to the man who ultimately allowed me to score this masterpiece...with a coin no less. A SUPER BIG THANK YOU TO Tavegg!!! James not only took care of me, he did it all from the kindness of his heart. Truly a great guy that I can never thank enough, or say enough good things about. When I thought all was lost and was scrambling (unsuccessfully, might I add) to secure this piece, James approached me and told me not to worry. He had me covered. James came through for me BIG TIME and I don't have adequate words to express my gratitude.
Next, I'd like to thank Kenny Tan. Kenny's a true gentleman and a total pro to deal with. This man goes above and beyond for us, and I want him to know just how much I appreciate it. This was a super smooth transaction and Kenny was a great help throughout. Thanks Kenny!
Alright, now on to the main event. OMG, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STATUE! This is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. A work of art unlike anything else I own. The packaging is superb. The statue itself is beyond compare to anything else I have on display. The details, the craftsmanship, the quality, the paint apps, and the art design are truly SPECTACULAR in EVERY way. I have collected from many companies (Sideshow, Bowen, DCD, Neca, Diamnod Select...), none of them can possibly come close to what I just received from XM. This thing is PERFECT! I can't find a single flaw on my Mags. My piece looks just like a master prototype. The amount of care and detail XM puts into their merch is truly unheard of. They quite simply put to shame many other companies with their commitment to excellence. There's really nothing I can say about Mags that others already haven't covered. No pics I can take that are better than some of the ones our members here have already shared. I'll just say that my Mags is a PERFECT 10 and I can't say enough good things about it.
XM is a breath of fresh air in this hobby. They have me excited to be a collector again. Instead of worrying about how a piece I PO'd will turn out when I receive it, I'm full of anticipation waiting for my next XM piece. I'm secure in the fact that I will get EXACTLY what I ordered and not have to play Russian roulette with QC on the pieces I get from XM. Thank you to everyone over at XM. You all deserve to take a bow for the way you do business and the incredible merch you keep putting out. I just wish I made more money so I could buy all the XM pieces I like. Having to pass on Phoenix gutted me. However, Thanos is the next XM piece I have on PO. I can't begin to tell you guys how much I'm looking forward to receiving it. I KNOW it'll look every bit as stunning as Mags. That's a piece of mind no other company has provided me. Thank you for that.
