Judging by recent kerfuffling by Sideshow, this needs to be done and needs to be 1/4 fully sculpted PF
We need modern Cyclops. He's important.

LOL! How can SSC make a modern Cyke that is 1/4 scale when the whole modern X-MEN line is in 1/5 scale? Can't SSC see the mess they created by mixing the scales on their Com line? Who wouldn't want a modern Cyke in 1/4 scale? However, look at the problem this causes for the collectors that already purchased the 1/5 Colossus, Beast, and Nightcrawler Coms.

^ i thought they were focusing on the 1/4 now for Comiquettes and phasing out the 1/5

Think what he meant is SSC messed up with the modern X-Men in 1/5 and have 1/4 X-Men based on Jim Lee. So a new modern X-Men in 1/4 would be redundant.

When did Sideshow ever say that they were phasing out 1/5?

Last time I checked prioritize did not equal phasing out. Sideshow has always prioritized PFs over comiquettes if you think about it.
Actually Mr Green, I'm saying....how do you display a 1/4 modern Cyclops with the rest of the 1/5 modern X-MEN line up? They won't make a fully sculpted 1/5 & 1/4 scale modern Cyclops. So if you have the 1/5 modern X-MEN Com line up, you need a 1/5 scale modern Cyke to go with the line to have it look uniform. The confict comes into play if you are a 1/4 fully sculpted fan. You are practically forced to eat the 1/5 Com if you know they won't make a fully sculpted 1/4 scale modern Cyclops.
When a 1/5 modern Cyke gets made, you will see an uproar from people that want it in 1/4 scale. Especially if the piece looks great. I just can't understand why a business would create such a problem for it's customers. The PF fan has a display that is all 1/4 scale. That fan doesn't want to mix in 1/5 statues. A Com fan is forced to display 2 different scales. If SSC just made All Coms 1/5 then PF fans could just pass on the statue because they know a 1/4 piece will be released sooner or later. A fully sculpted fan doesn't have that option. They can't pass on a 1/5 Com because there is no guarentee a fully sculpted 1/4 piece will be made. That causes nothing but display headaches for a fully sculpted fan. It also costs SSC tall $$$ because many of it's PF customers refuse to buy 1/5 scale pieces. I can't believe that they insist on cranking out 1/5 pieces to their own (and customers) detriment.
It's unreal that SSC can't see how much money is lost in sales because they won't make ALL of their FS statues in 1/4 scale.

^ thought you didn't buy 1/4 PF's becuase they had fabric?
I almost never buy PFs. It is a very rare for me to buy one. Especially one that has an all cloth/spandex costume. I only have one PF now. It's the Mystique PF. I do have Joker PFs PO'd. He's not a muscle bound character and he's just wearing a suit. My biggest issue with PFs is the loss of muscle definition due to cheezy cloth costumes. The only other PF I want is Skaar. He just looks bad ass and there is no loss of muscle detail to the piece since he's not wearing much in the way of clothing.
What I ment about mixing lines is that if you are a PF fan, you may also buy Coms if they were made in 1/4 scale. This would generate more profit for SSC because then a fan of PFs won't pass on a Com because of scale issues.
I think most PF fans have no problem adding an awesome looking 1/4 fully sculpted piece to their collection. In some cases (Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Venom, and Carnage) they have no other choice. It is fully sculpted 1/4 fans like me that are sticklers about adding PFs to a mostly fully sculpted collection.

There are soooo many more deserving people to make first. We just got a 1/4 scale Cyclops... This should be a low priority IMO.
It's not a low priority to someone who is collecting the modern X-MEN Coms. What good is having those Coms without the leader of the X-MEN displayed with them? I didn't pick up the PF so the Com is a priority for me since I'm a HUGE X-MEN fan who doesn't care for clothing on my statues.
So which version does everyone prefer? Original Astonishing X-Men version or Utopia/Uncanny X-Men version?
Original Astonishing X-Men is the version I want.

I don't care if it's 1/4 or 1/5 really. I prefer fully sculpted. I guess it's easier to clean dust off polystone than cloth. And I just like a statue to be a statue.
1/4 scale is really really big. I think a little too big if the character is holding an arm up, or a weapon, or even standing on something. A 6 foot tall person (mutant w/e) would be 18 inches high head to toe in 1/4 scale standing erect. Holding up a gun, like Tychus Findlay? ~24-25 inches
I see it work for the Spider-man comiq because crouched up on a wall. Only other 1/4 scale ones I have are a Logan, he's a midget anyway and bent over. And a 1/4 scale Batman where he is crouching.
1/5 scale Diablo 3 Overthrown looks nice to me.
And I don't care about size, I'm not going to play with them like toys. I can understand how it might upset some people though, nice to have em' all lined up.

Since they already debut Jim Lee Cyclop PF, I am sure we'll see a modern Cyclop comiquette next.

They just mentioned on one of the Q&As that they don't plan on revisiting Cyke anytime soon at the moment.
