Sue Storm Comiquette

[Oat Willy]

Ordered mine.

Imagine this senerio: Sideshow reduced the edition size because of all the negative vibe on this board, causing Sue to sell-out fast. Eight months later they preview a kick-ass Human Torch. The mad scramble for Sue begins.

a 'Women Of Marvel' Human Torch?

btw when I was watching the Youtube preview video of the Women of Marvel and upcomming PFs... I noticed a picture of Mohawk Storm. Does anyone know if thats a cover of a comic book? I know currently Marvel is doing those variant covers.... Im definitely getting the Storm Comiquette and Premium Format. I think the pose on the print looked amazing. I just hope she doesnt look like a man when they make the statue.

The exclusive is on wait list?! Man people most hate this piece!

Most of those people appear to have a nasty tendency of changing their tune once other people start taking a shine to the piece or if the Ex edition turns out to be low.

P.S. Sue Storm is supposed to be the preeminent coug of the Marvel Universe. While I doubt I can say anything which hasn't been said or alluded to already, the sense that I get is that people generally hoped for something less, well, butch.

 

[fuzzylojiks]

Still never understood how a low ES could make someone like the look of a piece that they didn't before. Oh well. ES may be pretty low for this one tho'.

Seriously, what did you expect for an Invisible Woman statue?
This is about as good as it gets. If you like a big fat ass, well, then you're S.O.L.

looks like shes wearing mom pants.

 

[tylerdurden]

this comiquette does seem a little lacklustre compared to the recent excellent output by ss. scarlet witch was/is superb.

but i don't think it's a complete disaster either. it's just kinda middling.

maybe sue storm as a character just never really did it for me...

 

[Blackthornone]

Seem to be a lot of Greek men on these boards.

That's very funny.

 

[Sebastian]

Ok I think I figured out what was bothering me about the piece.

There is no expression in the eyes. It's wot r art history teacher talked about. It's media dead
The print looks good because she is smiling with her eyes. If sideshow sexed up the eyeshadow with a smokey eyed looked she'd look more MILFish

Bullseye is a perfect example.

You have some putting in their "safety orders", pre-flippers, so on. it just ends up hurting ss in the end.

We hear this a lot. I'm not convinced (not yet anyway). Unless that percentage of safety bidders (who end up cancelling, of course) is in the 20% range, I can't see how this ultimately hurts Sideshow. Also, let's not forget that there are many different reasons why people cancel bids.

Back to the Sue Storm... Yeah, she does looks like she's wearing mommy pants. It ages her, and makes her look short too. Her lips look collageny as well. Sue has been at this game longer than most characters in the modern Marvel universe. She doesn't look it. She could use a few more cuts and curves.

I realize some might think men are being sexist. Perhaps. Imagine if DC solicited a Batman statue with a bit of a pot belly, or looked short in stature, or in grampa pants, or simply wasn't all that muscular or fit looking, would fans respond any differently?

Yep, that's true, too many order now cancel later and flippers around bloats the ES.

Best looking female Marvel character Sideshow's done so far.

Best looking female by SS???? R u wearing ur glasses? This is the worst.

 

[Sebastian]

^ Actually that PF Emma Frost was pretty bad... that looked like an alien tranny.

The same sculptor who did Darth Talon.

Doesn't look it though.

The problem with that piece, the Emma PF, was not the sculpt itself but the cartoonish style and overall design, which weren't the best choice

I think if you gave it to another sculptor who strength lies in the female face, you would get a more attractive face even if you base on it on Campbell's work. The Emma sculptor also sculpted X-23 which I thought was too cartoony too. He did the Slave Leia PF which didn't really turn out the way everyone wanted it to.
