This looks amazing, that HS is miles beyond the last PF. My only concern is how the final factory paint app is going to hold up on those teeth. I still think I'm going to hold off until we see what Sosa's cooking up with his 1/6th line though.

I dare say that (shy of having a paint app) this is the best Wolverine that Sideshow has made.

I never drive faster than I can see...
Nice pics, it looks pretty cool though I have no buying interest. I just sold off my brown version (which is good), but I think this looks better even unpainted.

I also love the fact that Wolvie and Magneto don't have the ash tray under the Sentinel base.

Agreed on that! 100%. I hate that thing.

Since I already have Brown, Hulk vs. Wolverine, and at first I only plan to get Magneto PF, but now I am considering this piece as well... maybe Iron Studios, or Iron Studios diorama. Can't make up my mind yet.

No need to make any difficult decisions, just get them all!

My advice is don't do it. Look at sideshows track record when it comes to the X-MEN. They abandon every line they start. If you start to collect this line all you're going to have is a handful of X-PFs with made up costumes that no one recognizes or wants. When you realize you can't complete the lineup, you'll probably want to sell off the PFs. Ask yourself who will want them then? Take it from someone who sold off his X-MEN COMs because sideshow ditched the line and never completed it.

Listen to this man. They'll release 1-2 more Sentinel themed X-Men and poof...never to be heard from again.

X-Men pieces in general sell for a lot higher than most "discontinued" lines
Even the pieces that were trashed on the forums go for double or triple the MSRP
I've kept most of my X-Men PFs the exception is Wolverine .... and now im struggling to off-load Sabretooth cloth. Its more for space and display options
Ive kept Angel comiquette, the rest were sold off and helped fund majority of this years POs.
No regrets with Sideshow and X-Men
Rogue caused a lot of grief but I wouldnt sell mine in a million years (mind you its fixed by the original prototype artist).

Why are they so adverse to the Jim Lee line
I get that their customer base has grown substantially so the people with older PFs now may feel alienated
I would like to mix and match with Sideshow's newest X-Men offerings... but if Evelyn from the MOTU line can get a modern and classic display
why cant Magneto?
I dont want to see Storm like XM's version of Storm. I dont want alterations to the costume that make her un-recognizable. I guess there is a balance between style and art. It worked for the Avengers Assemble line but its a slippery slope and SS needs to find the right balance.
I want more X-MEN period

As I was browsing the Kotobukiya con pics, I wondered how many of you guys /girls would have preferred the new Wolverine PF be in his upcoming "Marvel Now" uniform since it's never been done .

The whole reason I skipped this line was because of the uniform. I got the avengers could I didnt mind the Marvel Now look. But for xmen i will always prefer the classic jim lee era design
