"Sideshow and Spectral Motion will soon be unveiling new X3 maquettes, taken directly from the pre-production designs for some of this film franchise’s newest characters. Stay tuned for news and images!"

So this means Beast & Angel. Any other new characters showing up in X3?

My quote was from the newsletter you log into to read. I am assuming Dave's is from the one mailed? I guess the 2 newsletters won't be exactly the same.

I just noticed this in the newsletter. They could be interesting, but I'd rather buy the comic versions if I had the money. Would Wolverine even have a Maquette from X3? He didn't look like He had any changes to his costume in the trailer.
Another possible Maquette in this line could be Colossus, I'm sure he has a more prominent role in X3 then he did in X2, and I think this time he will be wearing a X-Men Movie costume as seen in the trailer.

Would these be 1/4th? I don't read anything that says that.

The other Marvel Maquettes, Drake and Thing, are both 1/4 scale. Undoubtedly this will be 1/4 scale as well.

Got ya. I'm guessing though they will be statues as those are right?

Yep, as a maquette they should be all sculpted no mixed media. That's my take on it anyway. I would imagine taken off of the original design maquettes used for the film. At least that's what a maquette is supposed to be.

Spectral Motion did The Thing, so I'd imagine these would be in scale with him (which I think isn't quite 1/4).

But Beast and Angel aren't the only new characters in X-3...

Emma Frost would be cool.........:banana

Must be pretty close to 1/4 scale though. The Thing is listed generally listed at 6ft and the maquette is 18" which works out to 6ft at 1/4 scale. Not sure about Drake though, the maquette measures roughly 17" but he is in a somewhat squated position.

Too bad these X3 pieces aren't mixed media.

I've got no interest in statues unless they got clothes. :wacky

Plain statues are just boring. :p

Hey ME, did you check the boxes for the different areas of interest on the Newsletter page? Your newsletter will be customized based on the areas you have checked on the newsletter account page. My newsletter was the exact same as the one posted on the site. :joy

What I posted was actually from the affiliate's newsletter, I had expected the real newsletter to have something similar.

And I'm more interested in PFs than maquettes too. Unless these are phenomenal and the movie far exceeds expectations I don't think I'll be getting any X-3 merchandise.

People should remember that Abe Sapien was also a maquette. So these things could be 1/3 scale just as he was.

I'd be up for Rogue also (er, no pun intended), although she's not "new" but older(i.e., not jailbait) for this movie...
