Premium Format Apocalypse PF

You really don't get it.

Commission Joe Dunaway to paint your statues up and see how much it sets you back.

I'd understand your issues if this turned out bad but that isn't the case here.
You are never going to get proto shading and precision.

But that said, this is looking damn close!

Looks good from what I've seen...
For a factory painted production piece.

You are never going to get proto shading and precision unless you buy statues from XM studios.

Fixed!

Although I think Apocalypse looks just fine from pictures thus far. Will make my final decision when he's sitting on my desk

Fixed!

Time will tell Tavegg. XM has had one release so far and it is effectively double the cost of a regular PF.

I certainly won't justify spending $1000-1200 for the minute differences.

Love what I'm seeing so far. My final flex is on the 25th. Looking forward to setting up Apoc in my collection. Keep the pics and videos coming.

I paid $651 shipped for my XM cap. Double the price is stretching it a bit. To each their own but coming directly from a huge SS fan (90% of my collection) XM just put a whooping on SS paint and QC department with the release of their cap. Will they repeat? I don't know. Well have to wait and find out

Through simplytoys you offset cost by increasing risk. Simplytoys would leave you to fend for yourself if any damage occured in transit.

So your other options are Secret Compass and Specfiction. They will get it to you for $800 or more.

I went through Simply Toys too. While Simply Toys might not be a big help if something goes wrong with your statue, XM does have other people you can work with to get issues resolved. I am very impressed with XM so far both in terms of quality of product and their customer service policies. That being said, it is only an n=1 sample size so far. If they can continue to maintain those levels for future offerings, then XM will continue to get my business.

I took a look at the proto pics again, and from photos posted if the production one, it does look a little washed out. To be honest though, it still looks great. Posters above are right. Chinese factory workers can only do so much. Even the pics if the xm captain america don't look great to me. There will always be something off. In the end, it's all done by hand, so human error will always occur. I think under better lighting conditions and better photos, this should look awesome though.

Just saying...

Nothing wrong with a little competition boys. It's better for everyone in this hobby.

Not to mention that there is a big difference in Average Joe taking pics and the professional studio with ideal lighting.

Someone at SF showed two pics of Apoc in the same location. One looks more washed out than the other. Judging off crap pictures is premature

The second one looks more like what the production piece looks like in most recent pics

Yes that is accurate. To me it is too faded. I don't know why companies are so jaded about doing rich colorful vibrant paint jobs. Why does everything have to be so damn dull?

The blue on Apocs armor pieces and weapons should be a more richer sheened up blue. Then up the rich blue and gray tones on Apoc to balance the increase in blues on the armor.

But hell....I'm not making these statues, so what should I know?

 

[JediSword]

It could also be because Olivetti's art, the one they used as inspiration is a more toned down look in terms of colours palette. I personally prefer it. Yes a brighter color would've made it pop more, but this makes him look grittier and darker like he should

Damn looks like mine got delayed by customs and missed the boat today. Should be here tomorrow and I get to enjoy a beer with my favorite fedex driver at the same time. Grats to everyone whom got him today.

Good news is customs didn't open it up so it should arrive with no major problems
