Beautiful!!! :drool :love

Oh yeah, I knew it!! :cool: :rock

[Mesa]

Preview tonight?

[Karma]

Preview tonight?

doubt it...article states that the statue pic is only digitally painted atm

[Isildur's bane]

Now this is beautiful :love I had canceled the PF but this is on a whole different level. Tim knocked this sculpt out of the park. Probably the best female visage he has ever done. :rock

[Darth Waller]

Oooooo, nice!

[jimjimmyjones85]

Finally. See I passed on the PF as well... Glad to see this one.

Also happy it is not the typical short shorts version.

[Vader AL]

I'm sold, looks great. I like the "video game Lara face" but this looks outstanding.

[bagelsncheesey]

beauty :drool :inlove

[JosephCPR]

OK I created another thread at the General collectibles section, sorry

[JosephCPR]

That face is 100% Adam Hughes to me. Awesome!

[Fritz]

I like the PF. :lecture

[D. Martin]

Wow! Tim nailed this one.

[The ill Jedi]

I like the PF. :lecture
I'm keeping mine, the PF is a great representation of 'video game' Lara and now I'll have this beautiful representation of AH! Lara. :rock

[Eamon]

Looks good so far!

[Bullseye]

This is absolutely stunning. Easily one of the most beautiful faces I have seen on a sculpt. Fantastic job Tim. You have outdone yourself on this one. Look forward to seeing the full piece.

[hunnipot85]

She's gorgeous. Hopefully i'll be able to afford her.

looks like we might be getting an AH Lara Croft PF as well

I believe both of those designs were in last years sketchbook. I'd love that design for a PF!

[kyle1981]

The bases make the designs :gun

[Radagaster]

I've never seen a comiquette AND a PF done on the same person by the same artist. Is this a new precedent? I don't think I can double-dip like this, as much as I like Adam's handiwork. Besides, I've never seen 2 separate PF renditions on the same product from 2 different artists.

[Something Sexy]

Very cool, I will be keeping an eye on this!

[Bamboota]

OK!!!Here's the right thread! ....as I was saying.....
This piece is absolutely beautiful!!! That's an amazing piece of art by AH! and Tim is a genius at what he does!!!

[fengjun]

what i would like to see is an entire line of these AH lara croft comiquettes. different scene, different story, different poses, different clothing, same sculptor!

[Darth Snoopy]

Man that PF design looks SWEET! I love both designs! :love :rock

[feeter]

I think the PF one was skipped for the one that came out and we just getting the comiquette from AH! i maybe and probably am wrong... o and I hope im wrong

[black cat]

Very cool, I will be keeping an eye on this!

I guess I got that right when I said she was the next AH!

[black cat]

She looks great! Just when you think someone did their best work, the next always tops it. Great job Tim!

[Something Sexy]

I guess I got that right when I said she was the next AH!

Yes you did! I also got my Buffy as well so win win.

[Chapter 2099]

Yes you did! I also got my Buffy as well so win win.

Wait???? Is AH doing a Buffy piece too?

[Something Sexy]

Wait???? Is AH doing a Buffy piece too?

Ha no, me and BC were talking a while back about the next AH! piece and I thought it was Buffy but BC was right with it be Laura Croft. I was disappointed a bit but we got Buffy anyways. Sorry it sounded bit confusing.

[The ill Jedi]

I guess I got that right when I said she was the next AH!
You got it right, 'cause I told you. :D

[Chapter 2099]

Ah. Yeah, this piece looks GREAT!!! I'm not even a big Croft fan, but I actually see myself buying this just because it looks THAT impressive IMO. Very nice. I'm hoping we get an AH Buffy comiquette now! :lol :rock

[viper12383]

seems like her back isnt as arched as it is in the drawing :(

[quadcent]

i'll be waiting to see the finished product of this one. i have the PF and think it's great.

[daikkenaurora]

Looks great. Adam is doing an awesome job with these digital paints.

[LOTRFan]

Looks like the most faithful sculpt to AH work yet, nicely done.

[Reliquary]

Looks great but I hope this piece doesn't suffer from lazy-eye like the other AH pieces from SS.

[hunnipot85]

Oh god, me too. I hope she comes out perfect. Can't wait to see the whole statue.

[Fritz]

With all due respect, I like this version better...

[SilentSurfer]

I can see a very humorous portapotty custom in this figure's future.:Flush
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/prodblog/021410lara01.jpg
Seriously amazing sculpt though. Very clean, unlike my comment.:lol

[Something Sexy]

Looking good, this will be a purchase.

[hunnipot85]

She looks like she's taking a dump... :lol

I'm going to wait for the Lara Hughes PF.

[JosephCPR]

...

I'm going to wait for the Lara Hughes PF.

I agree. I think it is an awesome sculpt and everything but I'm not sure I want something like this (design) in my collection...moreover when there might be a PF around the corner :naughty. I'll wait for the finished product to make a decision

Yes. We saw a sketch concept some time ago. This time the PF would be designed by Hughes

Wow I either completely missed it or it didn't process. Not sure I am a fan enough I would want both. Hmmmm.

[Vader AL]

love them both but the one on the box looks like she's reading the paper on the can. :lol

[The Mike]

The sculpt doesn't look like the drawing which is maddening with AH! SSC stuff. If the final version looks like the drawing then I'll buy without question but as of right now I'm not sold.

I agree....but I still think the sculpt is great ....so I'm pretty excited to see the finished product.

[Penn]

I think the angle of the head is really lacking compared to the artwork, which show off the neck nicely, and gives it that allure.

[Something Sexy]

If the PF does come to light, for me to get the PF over this one the hair on the PF is really going to have to be done well. Not sure how I like it in that art.

Anyways maybe they didn't go for "design B" but for "design A" :dunno

[phoenixphalling]

Her head doesn't seem to be tilting back enough in the sculpt, which I think added a lot to the feel and concept of the sketch. but either way, it looks amazing!

[The ill Jedi]

...but I still think the sculpt is great ....so I'm pretty excited to see the finished product.
Same here, the sculpt is beautiful and that photoshop mock up of the paint really showed just how nice it is. I love Lara's character, I'll be getting this for sure.

[Darren Carnall]

That's some incredible sculpting right there :bow

[Starkiller]

I so want this new AH lara croft.

[Bowzer]

I want some new pics. :monkey5
When does the hurting thing stops :lol

[azurepred]

This piece is going to look great. It sucks though that the Ex will probably be another print :rolleyes:

[fengjun]

are you saying u dont want an AH print? i thought one of the attraction for this piece is that it's a AH design.

[Something Sexy]

Most def for this piece I don't mind a print!

[fengjun]

Most def for this piece I don't mind a print!

yep a print in the backgroud would make a great display. hopefully the jungle sketch will also be made

[Something Sexy]

Well if that is truly for a PF and the PF is made I doubt we see the sketch. Maybe they would do a print for the PF version if that is the case, doesn't happen often but it could.

from one of tim miller's recent post, he said hes working on something for sideshow that is his most ambitious project yet. my guess is that its a lara statue based on that jungle sketch, cos the base scene is going to be intensely detailed if it holds any resemblance to the sketch, and maybe thats the ambitious part tim was refering too. i guess anyways.

[DinoDB1975]

Nice, I really like all the detail in the gear on the base.

[The Mike]

Huh....I like it... but it didn't hit me with as much enthusiasm as I thought....on the bubble with it right now.

[Karma]

sooooooooo bought :D

[Karma]

$259.99:(:(:(

[Skiman]

$259.99:(:(:(

:lol:lol:lol

:lol:lol:lol

:lol:lol

the stupid thing is that it's the base not the fig that pushed the price up

[themahler]

This is VERY nice looking. I don't have any need for the print, so rushing to pre-order won't be the case. I'll probably Flex this as well...

[Skiman]

This will be joining the rest of my AH! collection.

[keewan]

Must have for me :)

[hunnipot85]

undecided :(

[Bullseye]

This is the nicest face I have seen on a female sculpt at this scale. Absolutely stunning.

[Eli26]

Bought!

Well, I need to seriously stop collecting. How do we all do this? Bought?

What do we own? Palaces?

[Vader AL]

Holy cow, look at that detail....nice!

[wofford29]

I'm seein' a little Natalie Portman in the sculpt and paint.

[azurepred]

one of the few females I think look good, hopefully I can snag her, and I'm not much of a lara croft fan

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

I'm not a fan of the face at all...her jaw looks,bad.

[boochydog]

I'm not a fan of the face at all...her jaw looks,bad.

i think the jaw looks great in image 12 and everything else looks good in image 11. come to think of it, i did not make it up to the jaw until image 12. :naughty

[MooMooEgg]

Man, that's a beautiful facesculpt. I kinda wish SS used the other pose with the traditional costume so the character would be more recognizable =(

[Havok]

It came out looking amazing and I'm a huge fan of Adam Hughes but I think I'm gonna hold off for the PF, if it even gets made that is. Also the price is kinda surprising. I know the base is pretty elaborate but $250 still seems kinda steep for a Comiquette. I was expecting a price more around the area of the AH Marvel Comiquettes.

[Fulgore]

its looking awesome. will put in a order. not sure if i gonna try the exclusive tho

[The ill Jedi]

:love it!!!

No doubt about it, this will be mine.

[Skiman]

:love it!!!

No doubt about it, this will be mine.

SkiSpam strikes again.

:lol

[hunnipot85]

I'm going to try and hold off for the Adam Hughes Lara PF (since that look is more iconic for the character)

But major kudos to Tim for another gorgeous sculpt. Go Tim!!! :D

I'm a fool for Lara, so I'm just gonna go ahead and get 'em all. :D

Tim did do a fantastic job on this one! :rock

[BuffyGirl]

I have the PF, which I happen to love, and the 12" which I happen to dislike very much. But having both I really want to have this too to add. ANNDD it comes out for pre-order on my bday. Sweet!

that angle makes her cheek bones look very masculine, but the straight on view is nice

That's why I actually like it though, Lara is one bad muther ______!!!!

[Isildur's bane]

Kind of reminds me of Hilary Swank.

Tim did a fantastic job. Hopefully the paint on the production piece can match up to the amazing prototype.

LOVE IT CAN'T WAIT!!!!:monkey5 :drool

[JosephCPR]

The truth is that she looks much better than I thought. Really awesome. It is not a must have for me though as the piece I am really looking forward to is the future PF

[Alimoe27]

Cant wait to order this beauty tomorrow. I'm not to crazy about the print. regardless, its a winner for me.

[Starkiller]

It looks good but the price is a bit steep for me. I was hoping for a bit more skin if I was paying the price of a PF.

[Mesa]

I just noticed this will cost $259?!?!?!?! :google:google:

WTF for?

It's nice, but not ~$300 nice. Marvel ladies are under $200. Why the change?

I may not pick this up, based on price alone.

[Skiman]

price bump because of the base I assume.

[Mesa]

I have the PF, which I happen to love, and the 12" which I happen to dislike very much. But having both I really want to have this too to add. ANNDD it comes out for pre-order on my bday. Sweet!

Why don't you like the 12"? I was thinking about maybe getting that one.



Happy Birthday.

[Boba Ben]

I really like this one. Maybe I should have saved my reward points for this instead of using them on the Conan diorama.

The extremely detailed base. And I don't buy statues for the overly detailed base...it's a freakin' base. Heck the base is almost more of a focal point than the figure in this one..which I think is weak.

Obviously someone at Sideshow believes that even at a $259 price point this thing will still sell very well. Will there be some folks who elect not to purchase it at this price...sure. There are a ton of Lara Croft fans out there.

[grphyx1]

S'Funny I think it works as a piece of art but the actual figure kinda looks too busy for me.

[Mesa]

Alert the media, I've made my mind up. NOT going to pick this up at this price point.

[daikkenaurora]

The finally statue came out really nice. The price is a bit much. I was planning on getting this but the price may have pushed me from getting her. The print is really nice too.

[Minimodel]

Why don't you like the 12"? I was thinking about maybe getting that one.

Thats what she said

[zimbo]

Holy crap $260!!! :horror I was hopeing to get this being a huge Lara Croft fan and all and it is awesome, but 260 bucks... Mmmm decisions decisions :confused:

I see some of you guys say that theres a PF due as well, is that right? Is it going to be worth holding off for that, but then that will probably be even more expensive than this piece will it not being a PF?

[Lin Kuei]

Anyone know what time exactly this is going up for order today?

[zimbo]

Between 6 and 7 hours from now...

:lol Took me a second.

Thanks for the answers guys.

[boochydog]

does anyone know the approximate dimensions of this piece?

[azurepred]

ordered.........kinda suprised she comes out in the 3rd quarter, I hope I can keep her

[forestlite]

Ordered! Hope I can keep the exclusive too...

[FQRizzo]

http://www.caddicks.com/blog/wp-content/pinky_and_the_brain.jpg

Good answer.

[boochydog]

got mine ordered. it is also bigger than i thought...

[roguebaron]

ordered, I'm surprised at the size as well, 22" for a seated figure.

[azurepred]

got mine ordered. it is also bigger than i thought...

yeah, this is a pretty tall piece for her sitting down, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 scale it seems...........

[boochydog]

got mine ordered. it is also bigger than i thought...

ok, i will do it. that's what she said!

[ink]

ordered, I'm surprised at the size as well, 22" for a seated figure.

:horror:horror

[azurepred]

I guess that justifies the high price tag.........this is Hughes biggest piece isn't?

[aces888]

Wow didn't look at the specs for this statue and just ordered. Glad I did!

[The ill Jedi]

Gorgeous piece. At 22" I'd say the price is more than justified, especially considering the size and detail of the base.

Oh and ordered...poser Lara fans need not apply. :D

[daikkenaurora]

I had to order her. its 22" SEATED!!! Thats crazy. I hope its not a misprint. What scale would this be, like 1:3?

[Starkiller]

I preordered her, but I may cancel...not completely sold on it yet.

[themahler]

Ordered the regular edition on FlexPay. With the first payment not hitting until August, I'll have plenty of time.

[Timinator]

Just for clarity sake, Lara is sculpted at 1/5th scale. ;)

[azurepred]

that must be one really tall box shes sitting on then

[occulum]

yeah, for some reason I suspect that dimension is a little off.
No apple pic either .... :monkey1

... looks great tho....

[SSC_Nerd]

Just for clarity sake, Lara is sculpted at 1/5th scale. ;)

So it can't possibly be 22 inches tall, can it?


Ordered, and with reward points used. No cancelling now!

[Skiman]

I was thinking the same thing but at 22" this would be 1:2 scale :rotfl

[JosephCPR]

Just for clarity sake, Lara is sculpted at 1/5th scale. ;)

Great, then she will be in scale with other Miller/AH girls. Thank you Mr Timinator! ;) Awesome job as always

[slynger]

confused a bit - if Tim says she's 1/5 then I believe him, but she can't possibly be 22" tall seated??!! For the number crunchers out there, how tall should she be?

[Bamboota]

I think she looks amazing!!! Tim FTW! The paint job is awesome too! :rock

[quadcent]

ordered, nuff said.
this is going to look so sick beside the PF.

ok now nuff said..........:D

[Starkiller]

I'm distracted by the rip off the James Bond font used for "snow day" that I have trouble focusing on the 100 accessories used on the base of this.

[Bamboota]

Nitpicking. :rolleyes:

[Havok]

Yeah if she's 1/5 scale the 22" tall spec must be a typo. Unless the total height of the base and box/chest she's sitting on is around 8" or so tall, which I guess could be the case.

Now that we know she's 1/5 scale though I'll repeat what I said earlier, I think the price is too high even if the base is elaborate. As amazing as she looks I'm gonna hold out for the PF. I just really hope that Tim is the one to sculpt it.

uhmmm, isn't there already a PF version of lara??:confused:

[Havok]

Yeah there is but I'm referring to the Adam Hughes version. He made two pieces of art, one for this statue and another for a PF. I'm just hoping that the PF version actually gets made.

[ActionJackson83]

Ordered the EX regardless of the PF, because from what I remember of the previewed drawing for the PF, if they use that clumsy looking pose I think I will end up liking this more.

[Havok]

Here's the artwork for the PF that I'm talking about, on the right. I don't see anything clumsy about it in my opinion.

ah i didn't know that, the second pose would look cool as a com though. pf would be cool as well.

[Skiman]

I still need to pick up a Lara PF and 12"

[fengjun]

Yeah there is but I'm referring to the Adam Hughes version. He made two pieces of art, one for this statue and another for a PF. I'm just hoping that the PF version actually gets made.

are we 100% certain there will be another lara pf? we've seen many sketches from AH and MB that didnt get made into statues..i sure hope this will get made.

[Chigger58]

Well I ordered it, the exclusive version, as I'm really impressed with this piece.

I've got to decide though as I have the Ms. Marvel PF on waitlist order or could buy it on Ebay and I don't think I can afford both.

The weird thing (for me) is that I have no real love for either of these characters. I've played all the Tomb Raider's and yeah I loved the game when it was first out. Was one of my fave's for the PS1 in fact.

Regarding Ms. Marvel, I've always thought it was a GREAT character design but I haven't collected comics for probably 8 to 10 years now (not that she's new but since her reinvention) and when I did collect, it was always X books pretty much. I always pick her in the Marvel games if she's available though. Does that count?

:lol

I think I just want a sexy, really well done, female piece in my collection. I have the Asajj PF but that isn't like these 2 pieces. That base on the Lara Croft is just amazing too, so many cool things on there.

Do you guys/gals ever feel like this, make the purchase, and then does it become a remorse thing because it wasn't a character/figure that you were TRULY in to?

What do you guys/gals think? Would appreciate the input as I just really started collecting 1/6 & statues back in December.

I see some of you guys say that theres a PF due as well, is that right? Is it going to be worth holding off for that, but then that will probably be even more expensive than this piece will it not being a PF?

Yeah see.. that is what I thought. the most expensive one to date was the Witch... Which is ok... but this is beyond that. I wonder why ?

Jimbo do you mean Scarlet Witch, she's Brooks...

[Eucalyptus]

well sideshow make the correction on lara now she is ( 14.5" H ) i going to cancel mine is to expensive for something so tiny.

License:
Tomb Raider

Product Type:
Polystone Statue

Product Size:
14.5" H (368.3mm) x 13" W (330.2mm) x 11" L (279.4mm)*

[ink]

ordered! :banana

[daikkenaurora]

I might cancel since its actually 15" instead of 22".

[Something Sexy]

It seems pretty logical to me that it is 14.5 H high, since you know...she is sitting down. Fail to those who canceled because of that. You had to know from the start it is probably in the 1/5th scale.

[quadcent]

since tim already confirmed it was 1/5 scale the size had to be wrong, and i for one am glad it's smaller cause if you even dwarf Mystique if it was 22" tall and would've been a _____ to display.

yes cancelling cause of the new measuremants on ssc site = FAIL

at 22" it's like 1:2 scale :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:lol

Now ya know ya'll would WANT me to sculpt her half scale.:monkey3

.............. :naughty

[Skiman]

Why not life size I wanna sit on her lap. :naughty

[slynger]

well I won't cancel because of the measurement typo, 14.5" seems just right to me. Now to clear some space for her.

[daikkenaurora]

Now ya know ya'll would WANT me to sculpt her half scale.:monkey3

Hell yeah I would.

[boochydog]

Now ya know ya'll would WANT me to sculpt her half scale.:monkey3

ideally, some parts would be sculpted at 1/5 scale and other parts would be sculpted at 1/2 scale. then we would would have something to talk about... :google

I second this one, and in a Mrs. Claus suit lol...

[Havok]

I was wondering Tim, are you able to confirm if the Adam Hughes Lara PF is gonna get made and if your going to sculpt it? I seem to recall hearing somewhere that it was going to get made but I'm not too sure now.

[Timinator]

I can neither confirm nor deny this. Nothing is what I can confirm. Actually, I'm not even here. You didn't see anything.

I'll second this, because that second picture of Lara in her tradition gear looks awesome as well... :drool :D

No but half naked works.

[The ill Jedi]

14.5" is still taller than a Hot Toys Predator, I'm looking at mine right now and that's a pretty good size for a statue of a chick that's sitting down.

[Deckard]

Wait wtf, 15? Canceled. What the ____ Sideshow. Too many bs "mistakes" on the site lately, get your act togeather.

[Something Sexy]

Again, why did people assume before it was even posted it was going to be some sort of GIANT statue? It is a comiquette and AH! AND she is sitting down.

[Deckard]

What are you talking about, it said on the site under official specs it was 22".

Same bull____ sideshow did with the Darth Talon ES.

But yea.. I should have know even tho the company making it said it was 22", it was only 15"... you know... cuz its AH!. Its my fault... :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I think it is because WAY before they announced any of that I think 75% of the people would have told you it is most likely 1/5th scale. When they should the preview way back and said it was an AH! comiquette...come on dude pretty obvious it was going to be 1/5th scale. Especially if they might do a PF which would probably be 1/4th scale.

Should know by now not to trust their specs anyway.

[Deckard]

So other random strangers are more trustworthy then the company your defending? Yea great arguement, they don't know what the ____ their talking about so it must be my fault.

The only differance I know of, not collecting comiquettes, were that the PFs had clothing/mixed media. Not size. My Indy PF is about 21" with the base, 22" is not an unrealistic expectation, especialy when the people making it are telling you thats what it is.

Everyone knows certain things sell out in a specific window, and its BS that they "accidentally" misrepresent themselves in that time.

Except for a couple statues it seems pretty standard to me, PF are 1/4th and comiquettes are about 1/5th...with some varying slightly. I thought this was common knowledge.

[Deckard]

Common knowlege is how to open a door or not to piss your pants in public.

Random people don't know what scales PFs vs comiquettes are. :lol

I've never bought a comiquette, only quickly seen pics of them with PFs in Marvel collections and they looked pretty much the same. Even you said they vary.

CIM is 1/4th scale but that is because they said they fully intended for it to be 1/4th scale ahead of time so it would go with the rest of the avengers.

Or the fact that the guy who sculpted it...on here specifically said it was 1/5th scale.

Hey it sucks they misrepresented it but no need to get your panties in a bunch it is not like you actually paid for it knowing it wasn't 1/4th scale.

And please...I am talking about common knowledge around here...since you know...this is a SSC forum.

[Deckard]

Doesn't matter, its about them misrepresting themselves.

Again alot of orders occur immediately after the piece goes up and most times I don't recheck them, If I had gotten it, I would have been upset to see the size, and sure I could return it, but I work overtime somtimes to get the cash togeather to make it on time for certain pieces and it would have been a big let down after looking forward to it so long.

Just don't try and say some BS like its my fault tho, thats what I don't like hearing, I didn't do anything wrong by not knowing what scale a comiquette was and relying on an established company I've delt with before.

No you didn't do anything wrong but I just thought if you were around here long enough you knew it was a safe bet that it is a comiquette and it is AH! so it is probably gonna be 1/5th. I know a lot of people here weren't surprised. Such is life.

[Skiman]

Never trust SSC specs, that's newb status all way. I had to put one scale nazi down in the Marvel threads a few months ago :banghead

Agreed with Sexy, this also would be 1:2 status if it were 22" tall...


WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep and you pretty had to know it wasn't 1:2 scale at that price!!!!!!!

[Deckard]

Indy was $300 for 21" and clothing.

I figured for all sculpt it would be simpler and justify the same price at an inch taller.

I knew Sideshow lied about edition sizes, now I know not to trust them on anything.

[Mesa]

I'm confused. Did the site say it was originally 22" and now it's 14.5"?

I'm also confused as to all the drama that just unfolded a page ago. This hardly seems like something to get that worked up over.

I didn't order this piece, because it's not worth the $250 asking price IMO.

[Deckard]

Yea, 22 when it went up and I ordered, 15 now, I'm not worked up over losing the piece, rather over being lied to by Sideshow and then told it was my fault for not assuming they would lie.

Kinda a retarded way to defend a company but hey, I'll leave it at that.

Oh come on dude, it is not like I dragged you through the mud and sewed an "A" on your chest, calm down.

Ya seem to come around here enough I figured ya knew how the system works. Deal with it.

Stop acting like I personally attacked you.

I guess it isn't common knowledge either that SSC website is wrong more often than not.

[Skiman]

For one I don't think they lied.... that's a absurd comment.

It was just a basic typo and it's happened quit a bit in the past.

Where am I crying or yelling in caps or anything? I'm pretty calm, here smoking a cig and watching TV. I'm not jumping around like a monkey in front of the keyboard. :lol

I don't get why I must be all worked up because I don't agree with you, I just don't believe your arguement is any better then mine, these "mistakes" and "typos" are happening way too much lately.

I knew they had a history of changing Edition sizes, but not actual sizes, so yea when I came in this thread and saw it was smaller it caught me off guard.

Again, my main beef here, is that if your a company that is going to have thigns like PPOs and such, where people take time away from other things to get something right away, you need to get your specs right from the get go.

If it keeps happening all the more reason to deal with and adress it. Like my QC thread which so many people freaked out about, it got an answer and got things done. Same with that doll dot thread. I think your the ones who get your panties in a bunch anytime someone isn't blindly praising Sideshow.

[Skiman]

I could also see you being more upset if they took money from you immediately right then and there...

No transaction, no piece... no harm no foul.

[Something Sexy]

Ok, then do you have a problem when they change sculpts and paint after the fact? Even if it is for the better or worse?

[Deckard]

Yes, go look in the Aldo thread, I hate the new version. I know its Hot Toys but Im not bias.

If they made colors on pants more accurate, that is differant then changing an expression or something, and if anything I'd probably be more likely to order something I didn't already have if their improving screen accuracy. But thats not what were talking about here, these keep happening to the specs, like the Talon ES etc and actual size not improvements. When hot toys says "product not final", i expect changes, but not to recieve a 6" figure.

Yep, I'll probably kill myself over this. :lol

It is the same thing to me. You said they should have everything upfront and done when it comes time to preordering. I think sculpt, paint and color of pants fall in with edition size and specs. Take all or none in my eyes.

As usual overreacting and namecalling, it figures, poor angry guy. Time to let it go. :D

Not to trust specs from a website when that's all you're going for when buying a piece you have not seen is dumb. Where else do you look then?

Now expecting the height to be wrong from their specifications just because it happens routinely is silly. The specs are there for a reason.

They corrected this one early b4 anything was forked out, that's all that matters. Mistakes happen.

It was nice of Tim to drop in to add that it was 1/5 scale too. A great looking piece, love the face.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Any ideas why this comiquette is (markedly) more expensive then all previous AH comiquettes?

I would say the more detail base and just general rise in prices across the board.

I'm guessing 'cause of the size and detail of the base.

[Mesa]

Any ideas why this comiquette is (markedly) more expensive then all previous AH comiquettes?

If prices keep going up that much each new piece ($260 Lara, $220 Elektra, $175 Mystique), I'm going to be priced out of this hobby. These things are cool, but they're not that cool. Silver Surfer is another example of one that I think is priced about $75 too high.

The more I think about it, the more irritated it makes me that SS is upping the price of their stuff, especially since the quality of recent stuff (within the past 1-2 years) doesn't seem to be increasing any more. But I guess as long as it keeps selling out, they're going to keep making as much profit as possible. I just wont buy it directly from SS anymore and maybe pick it up on aftermarket if it comes down in price.

[myrainyworld]

Setting higher price is better than setting lower quality to make more profit maybe IMO.
Since I can have only few from the hundreds of their lists.
And I hope my few will have the quality they deserved.

However, 22" -> 14.5" makes me a little bit down from higher hope :lol

Can somebody tell me about the ex piece..
"A print of the design artwork created by Adam Hughes"

What size a print by Adam Hughes usually is ?

I don't know if its premium quality deserve the 10$+.
Thank you very much :angelsmil
and I love this statue so much. Thanks SS :rotfl

[Eamon]

[jimjimmyjones85]

Jimbo do you mean Scarlet Witch, she's Brooks...

True.

Would that affect the pricing ?

It seems pretty logical to me that it is 14.5 H high, since you know...she is sitting down. Fail to those who canceled because of that. You had to know from the start it is probably in the 1/5th scale.

Ok, 14.5 sitting, how big if we were to stand her up ?

She should be in line with the other AH's right ?

I am still on the fence with this one... not sure I will keep her... price is a little steep to be honest.

[Skiman]

Sorry if you have been collecting these and have been here 2 weeks, you would known this is 1/5, end of story...

[Something Sexy]

nope don't think anyone had any scale expectations of this until Tim kindly confirmed it was 1:5. :banana:banana:banana

Uhhh, yea actually I think a lot of people did. Pretty much everyone who collects AH! figured it would be in the 1/5th range.

For example the BQ is 16.5 inch high, so 2 inch difference sounds pretty accurate with her sitting down. Or close enough that they will probably look in scale with each other.

If Mystique is 1:5 she is 6'9".

Mystique

1:4 ----- 16.2"x4= 64.5"=5.4 feet = 5'4.8"

Or the fact that once again in my statement I said AVERAGE OUT ALL OF THE CURRENT AH! statues and they come close to 1/5th than anything else. I rest my case.

I guess that means that Black Cat is 10.5' tall because of the boxes! :p

You can't really accurately measure height anyway. Most of these broads are bending or arched with their asses sticking out.

[fuzzylojiks]

Are you accounting for the base boost?

Yes, height measurements are from heel to hip, hip to shoulder and shoulder to tip of head minus the base which does take into account their bending posture.

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.

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