[XM Studios] Phoenix

[sarakawa]

I don't see why people think they look off scale even in pics. They look great to me. The low hairline is a smidge low...certainly not enough to knock the statue for whatsoever. She looks fantastic to me and her aftermarket prices show that most people feel the same way. Should get her in the next couple weeks and I can not wait!!

 

[Frostlord]

agree, and it's on my desktop lol

isn't $2k shipped for her too much?

I'd pay 2k for her. She's definitely worth the money

Yes I did pay a tiny bit more than 2k aftermarket but it's either buy it or pass and maybe pay more later. She's the best statue once we get a custom head imo. I recommend this for all xm fans. Very cool statue in person. Amazing!

I must say that this piece is one that I have had the most mixed feelings towards. But I decided to stick with my PO and see what I feel like when she's on my table. Just waiting for an invoice...

Absolutely breathtaking!! I love this piece. Custom heads or not, its a home run. I love all three portraits. Id be fine if there werent any custom heads made for it either. This piece grabs the attention right off the bat from all my non collectors friends, as the first thing they see right when they walk into my collection room. Heck, its grab my attention away from all my other statues, and I have a ton of "grail" pieces. I'm just absolutely floored that I got one! It's a majestic! And she's a Goddess.

Ive noticed, ever since I got my first XM piece that was Magneto and going forward on my 4th piece which is Thanos that I just got recently, Ive been pretty spoiled with my expectations. Sideshow seems a bit boring compared to what we're getting with XM. And if XM continues with this kind of art direction, sideshow could slip back and be the next Bowen, if they dont change up the art style of their pieces. So tired of the lame, flat, boring bases that have no sense of artistic vision whatsoever. (The one leg up poses.) yeeesh! Theyre afraid to take risks imo. Or Igo the art director looks like he has been smoking too much pot, and has gone brain dead, and will just approve anything to make a quick buck, and present it to the licensor to move forward.

I just sent in my final payment to my guy who's hooking me up overseas, so I'm crossing fingers that everything goes well (it's my first time using him, and my first time not buying an XM piece from an AMerican based seller (BBTS))

Really nice photos dude! The low angle upwards really bring out the effect. I'm glad you like this piece. For the others who have reservations - it's true it isn't perfect but we will continue to strive and improve for future products!

 

[Grumpy Bear]

Maybe you can show us the pictures?

Yeah...

I think that the heads are to scale with the body they are on, but as I said before the XM figures.... Not base.... But figures tend to be slightly smaller than some of the SSC 1/4... More like 1/4.25 or so. However, they stay consistent with themselves.

From this point and you are right, we have a different problem. She-Hulk must be bigger and then one of the SSC heads are out of scale from the pictures.

So I am curious. IF there is any interest in a custom head for this is there a particular expression that people are looking for. Keep in mind I would not be attempting to recreate the original PO head look as that would be copying the work of others.

[amalak]
