1/6 Sideshow Marvel Comic Book Figures

[RIDDICK]

I expect them to take at least a year to release the figures they've shown. And expect them never to release the figures most people have never heard of, like Moon Knight and some others mentioned.

Agree.

Marvel has proven to be a money pit for Hot Toys

Movie figures aren't comic book figures.
They sells well cuz casual moviegoers are into those movies and not comics.

popular 1/6 DC line

And how exactly can anyone assume that? G.I. Joe line seemed "very popular" with more and more stuff announced every year but today we know for sure that those figures weren't good sellers at all and the line is on hiatus.

I'm pretty sure the ratio of comic readers who watch these movies compared to the ratio of "casual" moviegoers who watch these movies is still pretty different, even if not substantially different.

I know Movie figures are separate from Comic figures. But the average movie goer doesn't purchase high end figures. Also, comic movies are heavily seen by comic fans. They also attract new fans that then, turn to the characters comic history this sparking new followers.

As far as the DC figures popularity next to Gi Joe. There is one exclusive figure still in stock for DC ( Superman) as a posed to GI Joe where they have multiple Exclusives still available. Yes, All DC characters are still instock , some low quantity, but their sales have justified less popular characters like Flash and Green Lantern. When I say less popular, I mean up against DC front runners like We have available now.

So yes, I feel comic inspired Marvel figures will sell just as well as Marvel Movie based figures. This will be a cash cow for Sideshow.

Hope this lines goes well and that they make an Ultron figure in a similar style to the Ultron throne statue. And a Thanos figure in a Ron Lim style as well.

I don't get it. Sideshow's PFs and statues are almost identical to the source material, yet we get "interpretations" for 1/6 figures.

Should be going up in next few weeks according to Alex

I'm greatly anticipating these!!!!
Let's hope they will turn out great! Especially to scale - ie a correct sized Wolverine etc.

I hope SSC can take a look at these customs for inspiration. These are taken by triton from OSW and are from this years FAMCON 2014. I don't know who the customizer is, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

It shows these figures can be done very well!

 

[Jayrod88]

Holy shot those customs are amazing.

 

[JediSword]

Holy **** those are awesome. Love the cowl-less Wolvie sculpt and the Deadpools look ****ing sick too

[Adam Scott Photography]

These all look ****ing fantastic.

Pretty sure most if not all of those are Tony Meis customs.

this is exactly what I want Sideshow . NO interpretations NO leather/pleather NO baggy jump suits
but tight spandex/lycra scale bodies straight out of the comics

 

[devilof76]

I prefer what they've shown so far to those customs.

 

[Ultron-7]

I just wanna know/see more of who their likely to do

Comics characters didn't wear lycra, they wore ink on newsprint.
