Comiquettes/Premium Formats

[filip629]

Everyone one of those on the list aside from Doom had a full sculpted treatment through comiquette or diorama

Sorry VS, I'm not going to compare dios to FS statues. No collector would accept a dio as a FS representation in their dispay cases. I stand by my earlier statement. There are no 1/4 fully sculpted pieces of the characters I listed. Would an owner of a Thor PF give up his PF and replace it with the Thor vs Loki dio? Would that be the Thor statue a PF collector would want to display as their SSC FS Thor? I think not. If a Thor PF wasn't already released, peeps would be demanding a FS Thor. Why should a 1/4 fully sculpted fan get screwed out of FS stand alone Thor statue? As always, SSC screws it's 1/4 fully sculpted fans.

While there are many of us here that don't like cloth and spandex on our statues, keep in mind that many do. If another mixed media statue is never made, I will not shed a tear. However, the popularity of PFs can not be denied.

My plea is for the demise of the 1/5 scale statue. There is room for 1/4 mixed media and fully sculpted statues. SSC has F'd up the scale on Coms since they started selling them. They should have just sold all of their FS statues in 1/4 scale, then they wouldn't have to redefine the PF line.

The success of the Fully Sculpted Spider-Man, Venom, Carnage, Punisher, Hulk Comiquettes ect... Has proved there is a big place for them.

It seems that scale is the only issue, so 1/4 Comiquettes is pure Win!

Agreed Nova. A beautifully executed 1/4 scale fully sculpted statue trumps all in my book. I really can't wait to get more details on the new Red Skull PF. If that piece is a fully sculpted 1/4 statue it gives me hope. It means that there more than likely will be a 1/4 fully sculpted Cap statue as a well. This also means that we may never have to settle for a 1/5 Cap Com.

It looks to be mixed media....

^ Could be 1/5 comiquette. They already have 1/4 PF and 1/4 movie PF?

 

[darren1228]

It is a Premium Format. They had it labeled as such in their sneak video.
It is the second comic PF of Red Skull.

This also gives me hope that I'll see a fully sculpted 1/4 Apocalypse...

Pretty sure this was confirmed by a forum member who talked with Ariel Olivetti at some convention. He spilled the beans on the Skaar PF which is already up for order and a 1/4 Apocalypse comiquette (or fully sculpted PF I guess).

And hoping that Juggernaut isn't far off either...

From Ask Sideshow:
You’ll see the Dark Rider of Mordor Premium Format figure between now and SDCC 2012. Cave Troll and Juggy are having a contest to see which beefcake, big boy will appear next, and so far it’s a pretty even battle. As for Sauron – well, a dark lord will appear precisely when he is ready, [...]

Yes, but is it a PF because it will add mixed media to the statue or is it a PF because it'll be a fully sculpted 1/4 scale piece? Can't SSC see how silly and confusing this is?If Coms were ALL 1/4 scale from the start, this wouldn't be needed. A Com would be known as the fully sculpted 1/4 scale line and the PF line would be known as the 1/4 scale mixed media line. Nice and neat that way. Also, the lines can be mixed in any display this way. No passing on a piece because of scale issues.

That would've been to easy for SSC to do it that way.

That would've been to easy for SSC to do it that way.

And MUCH more profitable!

To me it will be mixed media because the outfit is not sculpted. In the video they showed a reference picture showing the Red Skull wearing a black leather coat. it wouldn't make sense for the new Red Skull PF to be fully sculpted based on the picture I posted. I'm not a sculptor by any means but I don't think you sculpt a naked Red Skull and then add clay and sculpt his outfit later on.

It looks just as the first Red Skull PF. mixed media outfit except for his boots and gloves.

And MUCH more profitable!

That is debatable. Plus if Sideshow was only about profit the only Marvel statues we'd see are the top dogs recycled again and again.....cough Hot Toys cough. Yes Sideshow would save a lot of time if they simply sculpted everything but for me I'm glad that is not the route they take. Any statue company can produce a 1/4 piece but Sideshow wants to spend that extra time to incorporate other elements and stand out among the competition. I know it doesn't please everyone but I hope they never change that mentality.

filip629, you are one tenacious mother! I agree with all you've said, but take a deep breath man, & relax. Sideshow will not F-up this time, as I actually believe they have been listening. War is over, & we won.

When SSC officially says the 1/5 scale Com is dead, then I will believe the war is over. Until then I'm still ready to continue the battle. I just want to be sure the issue is not only dead, but buried as well. As a matter of fact, that's a good ask SSC thread waiting to happen. Off I go.

Long Live 1/5!!!!
