Sideshow/Adam Hughes Lara Croft Comiquette

[fuzzylojiks]

Hehehehe.

You can't but pretty much every AH! statue has been stated to be about 1/5th scale...with the except for Mystique so it is a fair assumption in my mind that you can safely assume most AH! statues will be in 1/5th scale.

Not really, since Emma is pretty close to Mystique height as well.

[Something Sexy]

Not really, since Emma is pretty close to Mystique height as well.

I dunno she pretty much dwarfs Emma. Plus it just isn't height but the rest of her body looks to be a larger scale.

[fuzzylojiks]

Clearly BC is smaller scale. So if Mystique is closer to 1/4th then BC is closer to 1/5th.

Exactly, so they are not all 1/5 scale if taken individually and that's why the whole line is not a given on scale expectations. Good point mate. You're right on the averaging it out, but taken individually you never know. That's why it was awesome from Tim to confirm her scale here when most people were confused. It's never a given.

And you're right about Mystique too she is taller than Emma and goes well with PFs which are 1/4 scale.

[Something Sexy]

Exactly, so they are not all 1/5 scale if taken individually and that's why the whole line is not a given on scale expectations. Good point mate.

No ____ buddy but if you look at the line as a whole it is roughly 1/5th scale. Which I have been saying the whole time. You can easily generalize the AH! line by saying it is 1/5th scale. If I am not mistake it has been said numerous times that the various AH! statues are about 1/5th. Not counting Mystique.

Ok I quoted you after you finished. My whole point was averaging them out and you can safely assume that most in the line will be in scale with the rest. Yes Mystique was definitely larger and there is no definite scale to the line but they are all similar so it was pretty safe to assume that Lara would be 1/5th scale.

[Skiman]

and did you count their asses in all of them as they thrust out some heave hoes....?

[thenammagazine]

Why does it even ____ing matter? :dunno

They're artistic interpretations of hot comic chicks to make fanboys drool. This reminds me of the time I went to a strip club with a comic geek friend of mine, who was coincidentally a virgin. He spent the whole time critiquing the shape of the woman's labia and completely missed the fact that there was a perfect *** shaking in his face. If you're spending too much time breaking out the tape measure because you think one is a fraction taller than the other, get out and go get laid. Save the money from the statue and spend it on a real woman. Then you'll come back with a better appreciation of what they're trying to achieve.

Is he 40 years old? :lol

Are you 12? :lol

Case in point, if I were to take Something Sexy into that same scenario he'd get bounced because of the "no touching" rule - licking counts as touching. :p

Well not if she was same height as Mystique so yeah and you clearly stated that both BC and M were different scales. So yeah, Mytique is closer to 1/4 scale as you said and BC is closer to 1/5.

Lara is an awesome sculpt (especially the face) and goes very well with the AH line.

No :lol:lol:lol

Yeah licking is a nono. I keep telling him that!

[Skiman]

So taking for granted at the end of all this there's no way she could of been 22" and the cancellation factor on that being alone is silly because none of the AH! pieces in the line come in remotely close to that scale as everyone pointed out here are relatively close.

Hence canceling this because you thought it might be 22" is ridiculous since most AH! collectors know that everything is between 1/4-1/5 or even 1/6 with some of the older pieces like BC.

Well to each their own, as long as people don't get down and call other newbs, nazis or whatever else people namecall. It's always good to have people address concerns that's what this awesome friendly forum is here for.

Breaking it down, it was a simple error on the site rectified in not that much time, which doesn't take away from the fact that it's an awesome sculpt, Tim the man took the time to chime in that it was 1:5, and other pieces in the line have varied in height. 22" for a sitting pose seemed crazy anyways.:duh

Personally, if you're gonna be concerned about something, worry more about paint flaking, mysterious "increases" in edition sizes, or nonchalantly lengthened runs with "international edition" painted on the bottom. Otherwise, unless you're having a special case built to hold it, I don't see what nitpicking the scale really has to do with anything. Especially when it's common knowledge that there's no consistency in these releases.

Well, buy what you like and to each their own brother. To me edition size means nothing but to someone else it may. That's what cool about respecting individuality and freedom of speech on this cool forum.

Welcome to the party Richter!

[azurepred]

I dont know if you guys already saw it, but the 360 was added for this piece awhile ago. She looks great, and now that I'm addicted to prints, this one looks great. :thud: One of the better female sculpts SS has produced to this date.

Thank you. She looks really good :monkey1.

Received the notice as well, can't wait for this statue :yess:

[Starkiller]

I just cancelled my exclusive, it's nice and all...but honestly, I just don't want or need it. She needs way more skin and less base.

[azurepred]

cancelled :monkey2................another Predator collectible impulse purchase :slap

[Frankierock]

I can not wait to get this...This is one I have been looking forward to for a while...Now that she is coming SS can we get a peek at the PF already.

[hunnipot85]

I want the classic outfit and where she doesn't look like she could be taking a ____... but the sculpt is beautiful. Best Sideshow face, imo.

Go Tim!! :rock

Agreed. Face is perfect though. That head on a standing pose in her classic outfit would have been nice.

[Animal Mother.]

Just got the final notice for this. I've picked up every AH! Ex. so far, but I'm thinking I'm going to bail on this one.

[Isildur's bane]

Received tracking number. Should have this either Friday or Monday :yess:

[Skiman]

I canceled, I even have all the AH! girls, somehow this just doesn't fit into the rest of the Marvel clan... I'll pick up later if there are available from SSC.

[Chapter 2099]

It's a beautiful piece, but I agree. No place in the collection at the moment.

[boochydog]

shipping soon! im excited!!!

[Firebird]

I will be receiving mine on Tuesday. This will be my first AH! statue.

Same here...She does look great just not on the top of the list right now.

[DeadLeaves]

How come my wait list won't convert when all you guys are bailing? :gah: :lol

[Isildur's bane]

Have mine. Pics in a bit

[Isildur's bane]

Ok this is a fantastic statue, one of the best executions I have seen. There is so much to the base its amazing. Tim, you knocked this one right out of the park, the most beautiful sculpt you have done IMO :clap:clap:clap. Paintwork is superb and the print is really nice as well. Came in a cardboard envelope.

Thanks for the pics! Wish I didn't cancel. :(

Is the map that she holds paper or plastic?

Also, any chance of getting pics of the display box?

And starting with Scarlet Witch, Sideshow began shipping the prints in a cardboard envelope instead of the plastic sleeve like they did previously.

BTW, like the tiny glimpses of the rest of your collection in the background.

[spazzy]

Wow what a beauty! Great detail in the base! Get mine on Tuesday!!

Thanks. The map is a glossy paper. Was the mystique comiquette before or after SW b/c I got that in a plastic bag?

This will probably be up for 2nd chance since it seems a lot of ppl are cancelling due to a busy month.

Mystique came before Scarlet Witch. And you're correct, the Mystique print came in a plastic "sleeve" (cough *BAG* cough).

[DinoDB1975]

One more question: are all the components of the base attached to the base, or can you place them as you please? I ask because the display box and control art clearly show an Uzi on the right side of Lara's body, yet I don't see one in the piece.

[spazzy]

The box looks great, I like how they added the art on it as well!

Good eyes - yea, no uzi?

*edit* You can see it sitting on the table behind Mystique - crisis averted. :lol

[Firebird]

Wow! Great pics. The print looks great too. Well, everything just looks great on this piece. I really can't wait till I get mine now.

[naria]

That looks outstanding. The attention to detail on the base and Lara's sculpt is amazing. Kudos all around!

I forgot to put the uzi on when I took the pics. Only Lara, the thermos and the shotgun have spots on the base. The uzi can be placed anywhere.

Statue comes in 7 pieces:

Base
Lara
Lara's ponytail
Thermos
Shotgun
Uzi
map

[mattman6886]

Looks great! Glad I didn't cancel.

[JosephCPR]

She looks really amazing. Too bad there are so many priorities first

[Bullseye]

This really did turn out beautifully. There are always concerns that the production piece won't match the proto type but this really looks great.

[Isildur's bane]

This really did turn out beautifully. There are always concerns that the production piece won't match the proto type but this really looks great.

Indeed. You can't really tell from my pics, but the blush effect on her face including the redness around the cheeks and nose simulating the coldness where Lara is, is excellent.

This is the one case where the proto and production paintjobs are 99% exact. And that's rare :lol

[ATCollector]

Looks great, cant wait for mine to arrive.

[JosephCPR]

No more pics???

Hope this goes up for second chance..didn't have the funds with so many things coming home already.

Damn does she have some polystone knockers on her. I hope they do another one but with far less clothing and wet.

[-jay-]

Looks really nice! :rock

Got mine today, love it. I am concerned about the map though. Its fairly thin waxed type paper... I hope it holds its shape.

Wow. This is one of SSC's best Comiquettes. I just wish it was bigger. I'll definitely have to pick this one up.

[The ill Jedi]

Thanks for the awesome pics IB, she is beautiful!!

I've got one more Flexpayment to go and she'll be mine! :yess:

[mattman6886]

Mine just arrived. Great statue, but the map is a complete piece of ____! I don't understand how they thought they could release it like this. The map is incredible thin and flimsy, and the space under her thumbs on mine can barely hold it only in one spot. If I breathe near it, it falls off.

Anyways, other than that I'm happy with it.

[ink]

Hope this goes up for second chance..didn't have the funds with so many things coming home already.

get a regular, the EX is just a print

[Shropt]

Wow. For once I like the production piece better than the proto.

This could become a grail one day.

[hunnipot85]

She's gorgeous. It's cause Tim sculpted this one :D

[azurepred]

its pretty nice, but i dont have any regrets cancelling this one. Her eyes just dont do it for me, i think there too big and i dont like the masculine cheek bones.

[Danielito]

WOW!!! I can't wait 'til this one shows up on my doorstep!!!

inster, can you take real nice tight close ups of her face from the side profile, angled, and dead on where she's staring right at us. I want to see how well her face was painted. I canceled and may get her depending on how well her face paint apps came out. Crisper the better.

Thanks in advance!

I love everything about the statue except how hard it is to keep the flimsy map in her hands. I ultimately decided to use a speck of fun-tak under the thumb on each hand to keep it more secure.

Did anyone else have that problem? Like it can only hold the map at one particular position, and it can fall out real easily?

EDIT: I found that if she holds it with her right hand from the side instead of the bottom (like in Sideshow's photos), you get a slightly more secure and natural looking hold of the map. It can still fall out pretty easily though.

[SSC_Nerd]

Yeah, here's the best way for her to hold it for sure.

[Firebird]

To display the map I just folded up two small pieces of paper towel and slid it in the opening of the thumbs. Then I was able to get a tight fit when the map was placed inside the opening of the thumbs. I am unable to see the paper towel inserts that I applied and it won't damage the piece either.

Great Pics everyone! :clap

[Thunderlips]

has anybody had any issues yet, got mine acouple of days ago but have not opened her yet

[nash]

awesome statue, will be picking one up soooooon.

[Firebird]

I had no issues with this piece. It went together well. I guess displaying the map in the hands could be an issue, but I think it is a minor one with an easy fix.

[DeadLeaves]

My wait list for the Ex converted today! :hi5:

Hope to get her late next week.

[quadcent]

gots mine about a week ago and just got around to opening her up.

i'm totally satisfied with this one, and the extra $$$ this one cost are well spent imo.
the wieght and detail are second to none.

[quadcent]

Yeah, here's the best way for her to hold it for sure.

mine is on the way...... so excited .....

[BuffyGirl]

has anybody had any issues yet, got mine acouple of days ago but have not opened her yet

You're a patient person. I could never leave any statue I bought (or anything for that matter) in its package. I need to open that baby right up!

Weeks sometimes months go by on mine but that's not good in case something is broken and I need a replacement.

[Bairn]

I got mine a few days ago and I'm extremely happy with it. I'm glad they did a nice job on the face paint. The overall paint is nice and crisp on the equipment. There's a lot to this figure and a very nice size. Bigger than I thought it would be.

what's the print like and size please?:pray:

[DeadLeaves]

The print is on thin card, slighty shinny, almost like an over sized post card & is a bit smaller than 13 x 19. I'm not real sure on the actual size, I'll check when I get home.

AH's art it's self is great, but overall it didn't "wow" me.

[DeadLeaves]

Print size is exactly 246mm x 361mm.

So about 9 1/2" x 14 1/4". Pretty small.

[Bairn]

I didn't get the exclusive as it was sold out at the time. Then a few weeks later some cancellations made it available again after I had already ordered it Darn

[NorthernLadMSP]

Hey fellow forum members, I wanted to ask a favor. Does anyone here own both Lara Croft AND the Psylocke comiquette. I just got Psylocke, and really want Lara, but I would love to see a size comparison. If anyone out there owns both, please post some pics of them together!!!

[the Doctor]

Thanks DL!

i wish ss would do these prints a decent size like 11x17 minimum.

Is it really going to cost so much more for them to produce?

[DeadLeaves]

No worries!

I still think even that's a bit small too.. 13 x 19 would be my preference, but I guess they're limited to what they can fit in the shipper box.

[Mastter]

She is awesome.

[Skiman]

Dang, not many picked this up, is it still sold out at the SSC website.

Anyways that's a good deal because I plan to pick this up whenever other stuff cools down.

[DeadLeaves]

Congrats Mastter! :duff

I still don't have a place for her - due to the massive foot print of the base (too big for my shelves).

The only spot I got that she'll fit is where Kaneda & his bike are sitting - no ____ing way is that going back in the box.... So maybe Lara will have to 'till I work something out. Pity, such a nice sculpt.

Thanks Deadleaves, and you are right, the base it's massive.

[The ill Jedi]

Does anyone know of a safe/easy way to cut/trim the peg that she sits on?

The statue itself is perfect, but when I sit her down there is about a 1/8" gap between her butt and the case.

[Skiman]

You could do a low setting dremel with a metal sand head.

[Firebird]

I just noticed that on mine too. I wouldn't say mine is a 1/8", but maybe 1/16" off the case. The legs sit on the case with no gap.

[nash]

what's up with AH and his disappointing print sizes? He should just throw a post card in the exclusive box already.

[Skiman]

Wrap a towel around the rest of the bottom of the base as well, you don't want the dremel to slide and nick the base.

I've got a slight gap on mine - about 1 1/2 mm... The problem isn't the peg, her toes are firmly placed on the case that's part of the base. So that's as far as she'll go.

Are her toes still up in the air too? If so it's the peg/hole. I think what Ski said is the best option - dremel the peg on her leg.

[myrainyworld]

I just have some pics of her.

[DeadLeaves]

Great pics!

Anyone tried weathering the map? It's the only thing I don't like about the statue.

I might take some scans & print it out on some thicker paper, mess it up a bit.

[NorthernLadMSP]

Been playing the game all weekend (for the first time) and close to beating it. It is AWESOME!! The storyline could be more involved, but the puzzles and action are amazing. I want the statue now EVEN MORE than I did before. I just wish that the EX would have included Thor's Hammer as the EX item (along with the print).

[SkyPirate82]

Ordered mine yesterday; can't wait. :yess:

[Starkiller]

I hope they make a bikini or wetsuit lara with harpoon gun.

[SkyPirate82]

My piece arrived this morning! :yess: Really nice statue. The aforementioned minor map/leg peg issues some have talked about are present on mine, too but, hey, it's still a killer piece overall. I'm really pleased with it.

(As a side note, any potential UK buyers should go to Play.com. They're selling the Lara comiquette for £199.99; a good £80-£90 less than I've seen elsewhere in this country).

[DeadLeaves]

Congrats! :duff

It really is a nice statue. I'm still trying some stuff with the map, with photocopied versions. But I'm finding it difficult to get the double sided image right...

I think I'll leave the back white & dip the whole thing in a wash solution & add folds/ragged edges. Hopefully I'll get to it on my time off.

[BuffyGirl]

She is so beautiful. I cannot believe I won this. I am very excited to open her on Christmas!

Congrats BG, I have all the AH ladies and I need to get this to complete the collection, I'll have to play catch up.

[sarakawa]

I just recently got into sideshow collecting after comicon. But I had this piece pre-ordered even before that. Great statue!

[SkyPirate82]

Congrats! :duff

Thanks, DeadLeaves. And good luck with the map. An alternative, weathered map would definitely look more appropriate.

[BuffyGirl]

Congrats BG, I have all the AH ladies and I need to get this to complete the collection, I'll have to play catch up.

Thanks!!

I don't have all of Adam's ladies but I do have the other ssc Lara PF. I love it too. I have the 12" but wasn't a fan and I used her for parts. Now she's just a floating head. :rotfl

[I and I]

just received word from the shop where we ordered her that she's in!! :D and they could already tell me the number we're going to get: 17 :D and on top of that, an exclusive one too

sooooo happy ^^

[JosephCPR]

^Congrats You and You! :wink1:

[mattman6886]

Well my dog finally tore up the stupid flimsy map that kept falling out of her hands and onto the floor. :(

Contacted sideshow and hope I'll get a replacement map, but just wondering if anyone has any scans they can put up here? Cause that would be great.

[BuffyGirl]

That really bites. I am so sorry. I just left it off the statue. It was too much of a pain and wasn't staying.

[mattman6886]

Thanks BuffyGirl. Yeah that map really is a pain, but her hands look so empty without it.

[Havenbrad]

Newbie here... Just signed up.

I'm stoked to be adding this AH! Laura Croft to my "just starting out" collection. It arrives next week!

This will be only my second piece. I'm thankful... My best friend gave me the AH! Rogue for Christmas this last year, and I was hooked from the moment I pulled her out of the box.

I have followed Adam's art for years, and Tim Miller's work is spot on.

LC looks just beautiful in the photos...can't wait for next week!

:panic:

[I and I]

she is beautiful

got her a while ago but just reviewed her and took quite some pictures:

Great pics I&I !

Nice to see this lovely statue bumped up. :wave

[I and I]

you're most than welcome :D
this truly is one of my favorite 2010 statues :D

[civiclx]

Have had this statue since it first came out I guess and just got around to opening it. Did anyone else have issues with the hairpiece and the rifle not sitting exactly flush?

overall though very nice piece:clap

[DarthChrisDK]

I really love this one. This is an expensive month. Even though I got the Captain America PF a couple of days ago, I just ordered this one from a shop on Amazon. I just need to get this... NOW!

I think it's the regular one. But the print ain't that awesome imo. So I'll be just as happy. Can't wait!

[VS1976]

The Lara Croft comiquette is absolutely one of the painted statues ever done by SSC. The face detail was flawless. Too bad SSC can't put out the same stuff now as before.

Yes, I've only read good things about it. I hope that SSC will do a better job in the future again...

I just did an unboxing of this fantastic, beautiful gal.

Sweet pics! It sure is a nice statue.

[Drakul]

I want it :monkey2

[DarthChrisDK]

Thanks. It sure is. :)

I want it :monkey2

Then get it! :) It's a must-have!

[spazzy]

Great statue had it for awhile, one of Tim Miller's BEST, but man did I HATE that paper map, I would have kept it longer if it didn't bug me so much.

[DarthChrisDK]

Yea, they should have made it from some soft plastic. I wouldn't mind it being a little thick. Would only add to the feeling of quality.

[Ex-Parrot]

I'm not a big fan of the paper map either, but it's still a fantastic looking piece. If I was more of a Lara Croft fan (and/or had the room to spare) I would have bit on this one. But because I'm not it just didn't make the cut for me. Any Tomb Raider fan should have this one though, and the upcoming pf as well.

[DarthChrisDK]

Just finished my review. I hope you enjoy it.

[Drakul]

Then get it! :) It's a must-have!

If my WL had converted yeah but now I need to focus on finding a job first.

[DeadLeaves]

Time for a bump!

Here's a little mod I did last week, I got sick of putting that damn map back in Lara's hands so I knocked up a new one. I was gonna weather it some more but I'm pretty happy with the result for half an hours work.

Sorry for the phone pics, but I think you get the idea. If anyone's keen I can share the recipe, and 10 points if you recognize the map!

[Drakul]

nice custom map!

[KingB]

Well done!

[playa7]

The map looks really great! Good job.

Cheers! :duff It seems to stick in her hands nicely to, which was the goal.
