As long as they're fully sculpted, that's all i care about

So starting April 8th all 1:4 statues regardless if it's comiquette or not will be called Premium Format. Interesting change by SSC. They must realize that the 1:4 line sells far greater then 1:5 by now.

Sideshow, "You’ll be seeing more stylized sculptures under the Premium Format banner, and labeled as such to keep consistency in scaling. With or without clothing, if they’re 1:4 scale, they’re Premium Format. There are a lot of factors driving this decision, including production costs, sales, and Ask Sideshow trends, but we are prioritizing Premium Format (1:4 scale) over most other sculpture formats."
Remember all the times a few of us said that they were going to eat it in sales for splitting scales? You think they didn't notice that their 1/5th scale were selling like shat and no one was buying the 1/5th X-Men?

that's a big omission by them that 1:4 is the way to go.

And here I thought Premium Format meant statues with fabric material

I can't wait until Ink and a few other members of the "1/4th or fail club" join in! This is great news! 
I personally emailed CS and Ask Sideshow every-single-time I passed on a preorder because it was 1/5th scale. Maybe they listened?

I don't think the comiquettes have gone the way of the dodo. It's just Sideshow confirming what we already know that some characters cannot have mixed media added into it (I.E. Iceman, Juggernaut) so intead of calling it comiquettes it's gonna be premium formats because of the scale. So we'll still see them produce 1/5 pieces.
It's actually the "Be Awesome Or Suck" club. I'm awesome, thank you very much.

1/5 Angel Com beats plenty of 1/4 PF's
I'm not a scale whore so i don't mind either way, i like my 1/5 still and like my 1/4 still.
I generally don't like fabric on my statues so i hope characters they would do in 1/4th PF such as Colossus without any muscle definition, will be done fully sculpted like the Spider-Man comiquette

YES!! YES!! YES!! From now on 1/4 PFs all the way. It is their signature/flagship product line.

I wonder what this means for their Modern X-Men line, 1/4th or just Jim Lee only?

From a sculpting perspective, you're damn right he does. From an X-Men display perspective, he name is Angel, not cherub and he would look like crap with the other 1/4th.1/5 Angel Com beats plenty of 1/4 PF's
Hopefully, the 1/5th Modern X-Men line will go...
This announcement is the best news I have heard from Sideshow in quite awhile!

Can't say that I'm disappointed hearing this news...
So, based off this new info from SSC.....the upcoming Red Skull PF can actually be a fully sculpted 1/4 scale Com????? They are just going to label it as a PF because it's 1/4 scale? This is going to get confusing.
They should just release all fully sculpted 1/4 scale statues as Coms and 1/4 scale mixed media statues as PFs. Just do away with 1/5 scale and leave everything else as is.

nah you guys are mixing things, this actually makes it much clearer.
Basically before only MIXED MEDIA 1/4 are called premium format, now EVERYTHING 1/4 are called premium format.
All those other confusing terms - comiquette, maquette, "polystone statue" etc..will continue to be used only for 1/5 and other scales i assume.
It doesnt mean ss isnt making 1/5 statues, with the exception of marvel/dc, i think they are actually moving towards 1/5 more.
All this means is regular 1/4 scale statues, polystone or mixed media, will now all be called premium formats.
premium formats = 1/4 period.
This makes things a lot simpler and less confusing. I support this change!
