Are Sideshow loosing touch with Marvel Collectors wants??

[Eli26]

Galactus 21" bust is crap?!?

Who said that?

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

All disappointment for me: Thor vs. Loki, that Blade vs. Dracula crap, Daredevil vs. Punisher, now Spiral vs. Pyslocke. Either lame version of the characters, uninteresting characters, wrong action pose or wrong match-up or combo of these factors.

I like the Wolverine vs. Sabretooth, 1st X-men vs. Sentinel, Hulk Vs. spidey, Capt. vs. Skull but the current crop just don't have that same quality.

Blade Vs Dracula is good. You have to see it in person.

I would agree that old Sideshow Marvel is better than new Sideshow Marvel. There will never be another PF like Doom at a reasonable price. It just ain't going to happen.

WAIT! DID SOMEONE JUST SAY THE BLADE VS. DRACULA DIO IS CRAP?!

While you may not be a fan of the characters, the execution and sculpt of that piece is out of this world. It's definitely a "WOW" piece. Oh wow, have you just upset the polystone Gods!

 

[beachfox]

I guess SS must have a few 'A' list characters on it's way out this yr...

 

[Boba Fett]

To be honest, I haven't been disappointed with the Marvel PF line. I just got Mystique and she looks fantastic posed next to Red Skull.

I didn't get her. Not because I don't think she is a nice PF, but because there is just too much great pieces that SideShow is putting out, and only so much my funds can spread out...

HellBoy II PF >>>>> Mystique PF

No contest... HB II PF FTW!

 

[Bullseye]

so far all the dioramas have been of a high quality. No one could question the sculpting. The matchups are a different matter.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Chapter 2099]

I like their choices so far..Knowing that a sabretooth and a Venom are in the works makes me think they know what they are doing

I agree. Right after a Daredevil PF, they will surely make one of those.....when they get around to it.

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

I question the art direction on some of the recent ones.

Not to mention the Iron Man Mark 02 1:1 Bust that will come before all three of those selections.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind an announcement for a very limited ES Mark 02 IM 1:1 Bust, as long as a Daredevil PF is announced shortly afterward. But a Sabretooth piece before a Daredevil PF, and we have a problem.

 

[lcummins]

I'm still waiting for my Doctor Strange PF... that would be one Marvel piece I would get and keep!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I agree with Eli, Sideshow are keeping the BIG GUNS holstered until SDCC. I like the new Dio and anyone saying that it sucks is only because they were personally dissapointed that it was something they didn't want. At least SSC are doing different characters now, I mean the crybabies were whining about too much Spider-Man, Hulk and Iron Man and as soon as a new character comes out they bash it, that's what is lame.

I'm with ya on this!

 

[azurepred]

i agree that the character choices have been a little off, but lets face it seriously guys, if they were crankin out nothin but class A characters, we just wouldnt b able to afford it.....3-4 class A characters a yr would b fine imo. SS wants the marvel license to last as long as possible, so they have to visit all the lesser known characters as well. no complaints for me cause i gots no $ anyways

 

[jye4ever]

$2,850 worth of PF's and Comiquette's in 5 months time is plenty enough for me during these trying times, especially with my home value being at the bottom of the lake keeping Jason Voorhees company, so a pass on this is definately not a huge bummer.

The Head of Galactus has brought me over that total and that damn IM Classic is calling out to me in my dreams:

"Ohh Joe.....bye me.....bye me.....for your collection.....you punk ass fool....."

 

[buzzybean]

While I think the latest dio is a nice sculpt the choice of characters are those you would expect 5 - 6 years into a licence. Where are:

Thanos v Silver Surfer
Juggernaut v Colossus
Dr. Doom v Thing
Daredevil v Bullseye
Apocalypse v Arch Angel
Jean Grey v Emma Frost
Ironman v Ironmonger

then we have the last comiquette X-23 yet where are:
Silver Surfer
Juggernaut comic version
Nova
Captain Marvel
Adam Warlock

Where is the following PF's
Thanos
Daredevil
Cyclops
Sabretooth
Apocalypse

hell this is just a few of the many neglected characters.

See now, I would pass on most of those. I'm only interested in classic Marvel into the early 80's and that's pretty much it. Although at the high prices we are seeing I'd probably end up passing on even some of the classic characters.

I like many of these characters but the matchups aren't all that interesting to me:

Thanos v Silver Surfer PASS
Juggernaut v Colossus MAYBE
Dr. Doom v Thing PROBABLY
Daredevil v Bullseye PROBABLY
Apocalypse v Arch Angel PASS
Jean Grey v Emma Frost PASS
Ironman v Ironmonger PASS

then we have the last comiquette X-23 yet where are:
Silver Surfer YES
Juggernaut comic version YES
Nova YES if it's the 70's version
Captain Marvel PROBABLY NOT
Adam Warlock PROBABLY NOT- not a real "cosmic' fan

Where is the following PF's
Thanos PASS
Daredevil YES
Cyclops YES in classic blue togs
Sabretooth PROBABLY
Apocalypse PASS

People will complain no matter who they give us. I find that this forum is made up of more modern fans than classic fans. I wonder sometimes if many of the people on here had even heard of Iron Man before the movie was released since there is very little enthusiam (including the PF!) for anything classic Iron Man.

Pass on a Thanos PF ????? The Mad Titan ??? You're a fool !!!!

 

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

Where are:


Apocalypse v Arch Angel

Where is the following PF's

Apocalypse

I can honestly say I'll shed tears of joy when/if these two are made

 

[buzzybean]

Pass on a Thanos PF ????? The Mad Titan ??? You're a fool !!!!

I'm surprised you even know who Thanos is there, Cleaner!

Has he been in any current comics? I rarely see him mentioned.
