XM STUDIOS X-MEN VS SENTINEL STATUE DIORAMA 1/6 SCALE XM EXCLUSIVE # 50 / 158

Description: AS THIS ITEM WILL SHIP VIA FREIGHT CARRIER, PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PURCHASE. THIS WAS AN XM EVENT EXCLUSIVE WHICH MEANS IT WAS ONLY OFFERED AT THEIR CONVENTION EVENTS. THE (MY) EXACT SAME, NON DISPLAYED, AND NEW STATUES # 102 AND # 46 HAVE SOLD FOR $10,600 in 2019, AND $12,600 in 2021 RESPECTIVELY PLUS THE SHIPPING COSTS. THIS IS MY THIRD X-MEN VS SENTINEL DIORAMA STATUE DIORAMA FOR SALE. DIORAMA COMES IN 3 LARGE BOXES. STATUE # 50 (SEE PICS OF ACTUAL 3 BOXES A, B, C). ENTIRE STATUE AND CONTENTS MINT BRAND NEW AND ONLY CHECKED TO VERIFY PERFECTION. IN MY POSSESSION IN USA AND READY TO SHIP. GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC AND PURCHASED THROUGH AUTHORIZED XM DISTRIBUTION. ALL ORIGINAL XM BOXES (INNER AND OUTER) AND PACKING MATERIALS AS ORIGINAL INCLUDED. THEY ONLY MADE 158 OF THE MAXIMUM 300 PLANNED OF THESE STATUES WITH ALL OF THEM DISTRIBUTED DIRECT WORLDWIDE EXCEPT FOR THE USA. I THINK COVID CAUSED SOME BACKUPS AT XM SO THE RESULT WAS A RARE STATUE AT 300 THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MADE BUT NOW BECAME AN INSANELY RARE STATUE AT 158 MADE. XM DOES NOT HAVE A MARVEL STATUE LICENSE FOR USA SO OVERSEAS DISTRIBUTORS ONLY GET THEM TO USA THROUGH SUB DISTRIBUTORS. THIS IS WHY XM STATUES ARE ALWAYS HARD TO GET IN THE USA. THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 20 OF THESE IN THE USA. ITS ESTIMATED ONLY 10-20% EVER GET TO THE USA, WITH MOST LANDING IN THE FAR EAST COUNTRIES LIKE SINGAPORE, CHINA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, MIDDLE EAST, RUSSIA AND EUROPE. WHILE YOU CAN ALWAYS PURCHASE ONE DISPLAYED ON EBAY FROM OVERSEAS SOURCES, THAT PURCHASE ALWAYS COMES WITH RISKS VS A USA PURCHASE FROM A USA SELLER. NEVER DISPLAYED-NEVER IN DAYLIGHT-EVERY PIECE OF PACKING PAPER INSIDE IS AS MINT AS THE STATUE. I INSPECTED ALL CONTENTS OF ALL 3 BOXES BY ONLY OPENING THE BOTTOM OF THE SHIPPING BOXES, THEREBY LEAVING ALL THE ORIGINAL XM STUDIOS BLACK PACKING TAPE ON THE TOP OF THE BOXES IN TACT AS IT ARRIVED. THIS IS FOR PURPOSES OF PROVENANCE AND ORIGINALITY FOR THOSE INVESTORS THAT WANT MAXIMUM FUTURE VALUE. I ALSO WEAR GLOVES WHEN DOING SO. I ALSO HAD THIS STATUE DELIVERED TO ME FROM SINGAPORE VIA FREIGHT / PALLET SHIPMENTS WHICH MEANS THE SHIPPING BOXES ARE AS NEW AND MINIMALLY BLEMISHED AS POSSIBLE VS THE DAMAGE THAT TENDS TO TAKE PLACE VIA COMMON OVERSEAS AND GROUND CARRIERS LIKE DHL AND UPS. IF YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO STATUE BOXES MUCH SMALLER THAT WEIGH 1/4 OF WHAT THESE BOXES WEIGH, THEN YOU KNOW A NEW NON DISPLAYED STATUE IN "LIKE NEW" SHIPPING BOXES HAS MAXIMUM VALUE AND IS QUITE RARE AS WELL. THESE THREE BOXES WILL ALSO SHIP TO YOU VIA FREIGHT / PALLET FROM ME TO ENSURE SAFETY AND CONTINUED GOOD CONDITION. FYI, THIS IS PROBABLY THE #1 INVESTMENT AND COLLECTOR STATUE TO OWN PERIOD, TO DATE! FIRST, IT'S X-MEN WHICH MAKES IT EXCEPTIONALLY DESIRABLE. 2ND IT'S EXTREMELY LOW EDITION OF ONLY 158 STATUES MAKES IT THE RAREST LICENSED STATUE IN EXISTENCE THAT IS NOT A VARIANT OF ANOTHER STATUE. 3RD, THE SHEER SIZE, DETAIL, AND ACTION DEPICTED IN THE STATUE MAKES IT UNEQUALED. AND 4TH, THE SHEER SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE 3 SHIPPING BOXES WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE STATUES IN THE SECONDARY RESALE MARKET. YOUR AVG COLLECTOR WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RESELL AND TAKE THESE 3 BOXES TO THE UPS STORE AND RE SHIP THEM TO YOU SAFELY BY COMMON CARRIER. NOT UNLESS THEY OWN A PICKUP TRUCK AND HAVE A BUDDY TO HELP THEM DO THE LIFTING. PLUS THE DAMAGE LIKELY FROM MULTIPLE SALES AND COMMON CARRIER DELIVERIES WILL EVENTUALLY TRASH THE ORIGINAL BROWN BOXES DUE TO THEIR SIZE AND WEIGHT. EVEN STATUES PURCHASED NEW FROM SINGAPORE VIA COMMON CARRIER WILL NEVER ARRIVE IN BOXES IN AS GREAT CONDITION AS MINE ARE IN AND WILL REMAIN IN WHEN I SHIP TO THE BUYER VIA PALLET FREIGHT TO YOUR DOOR. "TARGETS IDENTIFIED. MUTANTS. SURRENDER OR DIE." An engineering feat that took the XM team over 2 years and a collaborative strike-force team of over 15 Artists and professionals, XM proudly presents the first of our Epic Diorama Series - the X-Men VS Sentinel! The battle scene pits 6 heroic X-Men characters; Beast, Archangel, Psylocke, Jubilee, Bishop and Colossus against a fearsome Sentinel robot and Nimrod. Crafted in Cold Cast Porcelain, the sheer size, details and immense presence this piece has will make it undoubtedly THE centerpiece showcase for any X-Men statue collector. While only 1:6 scale, this MASSIVE cold-cast porcelain diorama is anything but small! Not for the faint-hearted and only for the ultimate collector with space and unrivalled passion for the X-Men, this is the display centerpiece designed to stun any viewer into a state of disbelief and wonder. When shown at conventions, collectors spend the most time gawking at this diorama and revelling in all the incredible details and dynamism - it's almost as if you are right there watching the battle yourself! Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. Sculpted by an All-Star team comprising of Suheryanto Hatmaja, Kris Lee, Romell Chopraa, George Georgy and Marthin Agusta, engineered to perfection by the XM development team, this piece is a testament to XM's madness in pushing beyond boundaries. Be warned - you will need a large display area for this beast!Background:X-MenRealizing mutants were the next step in human evolution, Professor Charles Xavier gathered gifted teenagers to be his first class of students.
