I'd love it if the designs were nbased on the statues, but 1/6 Cyclops design is waaaay busier thany any of the statues referenced. Dial it back lads, unnecessary.
Loved collecting the Xmen trading cards, particularly the ones that had a bit more realistic look to them. I still have them in a binder...somewhereGrowing up collecting the trading cards,
great catch about the Iron Studios inspiration. Just looked and the blue body suit is definitely from the Iron Studios statue while the rest looks to be from the XM. Based on the inspirations, I think the PT suit would benefit from being a bit darker.Looks more like a hybrid between xm and iron studios statues. Just based on a quick look, the body suit is similar to iron studios while the harness is similar to xm . Preordered the deluxe with onesixthoutfitters. Hopefully they make a professor x and wolverine. Personally not interested in Magneto.
How heavy that Zica toys body?Up at OSK.
$190-Regualr
$233- Deluxe
I don’t think it would need a full body swap really, just need some ankle extenders to give it a bit more height since he looks so squatty.
But, if you were to go for a full body swap, I think the outfit could handle it as it’s just screen printing on top of a spandex suit from the looks of it. And the stock body looks to be pretty bulky/muscular, just too short. If I were to do a fully body swap, I’d try it out on one of the Zica Toys bodies I have

It's not that heavy to be quite honest so when you hold it, you may think it's cheap if you buy one But honestly it's quite durable and the joints on the 4 I have aren't loose by any means. I took a dremel to the lower legs of one of them this weekend actually in order to get the original Sideshow comic Batman boots to fit and it took a medium speed and some pressure to grind them down.How heavy that Zica toys body?
The Marvel Masterpiece sets were always the best. The 96 set in particular is probably the best out there. It goes for a pretty penny now a days. Sold my set I had about 8-10 years ago for around $1500. Goes for much higher now.Loved collecting the Xmen trading cards, particularly the ones that had a bit more realistic look to them.

The wrist joints can be removed and hole fits your standard larger HT wrist joint that you'd see with the likes of the male HT superheroes.
The ankle joints are also universal ball joints, but I don't believe they're removable, though I haven't tried to yet.
The ball joint on the neck post seems a bit smaller than standard but I honestly haven't tried it out on a standard neckless sculpt.
I'll post pics of how Batman turns out when I get to the point of swapping the Sideshow suit over
Hope this helps.

Just for the 100 card base set alone you should be able to get around 2K. If you add in the two subsets you could get around 4K.Does it? Hrm. I still have my set around here...
I had no idea it had become that valued. I just have them all sleeved in a binder in my closet. My 1992 set will always be my favorite, though. That's the one with memories of sitting around the school lunch table with my friends marveling at Jusko's incredible art.Just for the 100 card base set alone you should be able to get around 2K.

Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, and Joe Jusko are probably my favorites. The 96 set became so valuable because they didn't make very many because of a crash in the comic industry right in the middle of it's production run. If I'm not mistaken, Marvel may have filed for bankruptcy or was close to it around that time or shortly after.I had no idea it had become that valued.

Someone people pointed out that the S on the right is actually Sentry....which the S does look like his logo in the comics. Odd choice of a character to include in this line upMagneto first look, seems like Wolverine, Cable and Storm are coming as well.
