XM Studios Thanos

[filip629]

Just got a email notice letting my know that my custom avengers theme base should be delivered some time today! Pretty excited for it.

Also having a custom head being delivered some time next month too

Damn, that head sculpt looks AMAZING! If you don't mind my asking, who did the custom portrait for you?

It's simple demand and offer. Thanos is still being shipped out so people who bought it to flip are progressively unloading it, same goes for Phoenix, I know for sure there are still batches to be sent out. Offer grows, prices drop.
By the way, depending on where you're located, it seems that pretty much everything is getting harder and harder to sell, with just a few notable exceptions. I just passed on a Wolverine PF that I could grab at $450 shipped, it went on Ebay at $500 starting price and no takers. A friend of mine just sold his Red Sonja PF for 240$ shipped and Batman Keaton for 330$ shipped - consider that being imported, here stuff is a tad more expensive, those two retailed at around 400-420$ in preorder.

Yeah I think its because of the glut of statues, XM releases a Phoenix sideshow a dark Phoenix, XM releases a Thanos, Sideshow is releasing one. There is a lot of great statues coming out between, Iron Studios, XM, Sideshow, Kotobukiya and Prime 1. Prices keep going up, Edition sizes keep going up puttig a drag on after market prices.

I saw people talking about getting a black spidey sideshow spidey because they were worried they could not get a red and blue one. They made 2500 ex and 5000 regular ones. In a few months there will be a glut of them and the prices will drop below MSRP.

These go great with the xm pieces or any other statue.

I think I may need t I order some of those.

Got my custom base set up but I'm about to leave to go see the killing joke so I'll upload them on here later tonight. They're on FB if anyone wants to look.

Sounds good! Can you let me know if it's much deeper than the original base, as well? I hope the movie is good.

Sure thing. The movie was good, enjoyed it but it didn't warrant an R rating. The depth from the deepest part of the rock next to Cap's shield to Iron Man's head is about 18"-20" or so.i have him posed with his chest pointing straight instead of it pointing to the left side like in the original base. The first pic below is with his chest pointing to the left, not straight.

Looks great, and thanks for the measurement! It really sets it off. I really love having the extra helmet now too since XM killed it. It'll make me actually display the unhelmeted head now. Congrats!

 

[izeroi]

Thanks man. The base really looks good in person, and is super heavy. The whole thing really adds to the statue.

 

[newarkcapo]

The moon rocks effect really makes stand out. I don't even Wang to know how much it was

I'll have to pick up a one of those custom Thanos portraits.

The price of the base wasn't too bad considering the detail, how heavy it is, and everything you get. What cost a lot was shipping from Brazil to the US for something like this.

That's one thing I've noticed with shipping from Brazil that the prices are VERY high.

Are they still available?

 

[newarkcapo]

Yes are they

The custom base is much nicer than the one it came with
