XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Wolverine - Weapon X Project! The tortured and deranged Logan James Howlett from the cruel Weapon X Project also known as the beginning story arc of Wolverine with Adamantium claws and skeleton, is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. The statue depicts Wolverine's escape from the Weapon X Project Labs, filled with feral rage in his pained and unstable mental state.
The origins of the clandestine Weapon X Program date back to 1945 when a civilian advisor to the American military named Thorton investigated a liberated concentration camp and discovered the hidden laboratory of the enigmatic geneticist Mister Sinister. Using Sinister’s research as the basis for his own work, Thorton, also known simply as the Professor, chose Wolverine as his first test subject. Wolverine was kidnapped and taken to a Canadian facility where he was subjected to a brutal process in which the near-indestructible metal Adamantium was bonded to his skeleton, including his mutant claws. The Professor was surprised at the full extent of Logan’s mutant nature, which enabled him to recover from the process far more rapidly than anticipated. Reduced to a quasi-mindless state, Wolverine was sent to slaughter the inhabitants of the small town of Roanoke as a test of his abilities. Wolverine ultimately broke free of the Professor’s conditioning and ran amok in the Weapon X facility. In the course of his escape, he slew most of the facility’s personnel.

Ordered FRom The European Distributor ...You Will Pay 1200 EUR + 35 to 50 EUR shipping ...1240 EUR....instead of 1020 EUR for German people that's how we are all ripped off ...thanks XM for those great prices !!!!

He writes the same in different forums. He forget that the distributor must pay tax on the original price and €200 for shipping is a joke.
You're posting the same on every forum either ...So to be clear ! They got business solution, even if i add 50 EUR to the shipping cost which means 400 SGD which is pretty reasonnable ! ... The Distributor prices are still too high !!! ...In one year, they have grown exponentially with absolutely no reason ...You pay the taxes on what is declared...as every distributor i'm not sure he is buying the piece at the same price normal customer would buy it so. This is business !! The guy who buy 200 pieces won't ever pay the same price that the guy who is buying just one piece!!..Can you explain me why before a 990 SGD statue wasn't more than 990 EUR and in one year ...pieces at 1099 SGD are pointed at 1300 EUR or 1200 EUR ??? that's the greed only the greed..
The XM Studios European distributor is just killing the hobby...
Hey Vince a middleman can probably get it for you at a better price than that
Sorry about the distributors!

Love the sculpt, but hate the army green helmet and electronic components. Will have to pass on this.
...I don't think even a repaint of the helmet and electronic components is an option as the wet effect will make it difficult to do. IMO.

Just have to be quick. Only 10% of the ES gets put online.
Ok makes sense now! Do you know if this could be angled to fit in a besta?
So 99 Weapon X were put on sale online...I dont think that is likely at all.

May be different with a MTO. Unless they've changed their allocation practice for non-exclusives.
