It always makes me chuckle when comic translated statues get actual cloth spandex. The way they're drawn is unrealistic, so its not surprising using realistic materials results in something that doesn't look like the source material. Jackets (Rogue) and pants (She-Hulk) work, so do pouches, but other than those, stick to sculpted, SS. Oh, and good call on 1/4.

I guess they looked at the popularity of the fully sculpted Venom, Carnage, Spidey comiquettes, IM and Warmachine maquettes and made a good decision.

For those saying 1/4 scale fully sculpted as a norm won't ever work out, it already has in multiple cases. Glad SSC picked up on that instead of continuing to make another whole mismatched scale thinking that all customers are oblivious to scale. All those that would buy a 1/5 scale fully sculpted statue probably WILL buy a 1/4 scale fully sculpted one.

If it takes months to sell a Daredevil Ex @ 1/5 scale with switch out head, skull gravestone and 500 ES, you know the customers are telling you something.

Well at least the 1/5 gravestone is an appropriate representation of the 1/5 scale failed experiment in saving on a little resin and double dipping.

I thought DD was nice, but too small like all of the other Coms - most of which I definitely would have bought if they were 1/4.
SS isn't saving the $ now these are rotting in their warehouse

Sadly, you're right. Still a huge shame that DD has not yet sold out, as it is truly underrated, regardless of size.

At least we can breath a little easier regarding DD 1/4 scale, & SS offering a Full sculpt version.

I can't wait until Ink and a few other members of the "1/4th or fail club" join in! This is great news!

I personally emailed CS and Ask Sideshow every-single-time I passed on a preorder because it was 1/5th scale. Maybe they listened?

Lost Sales:

1. Beast
2. Nightcrawler
3. Iceman
4. Colossus (original one)
5. Psylocke (original one)
6. Angel
7. Punisher
8. Nick Fury
9. Daredevil
10. Hulk

I'm one of the main supporters of 1/4 or Fail. It wouldnt be a problem if they started with 1/5. But their bread an butter is 1/4 and they should stick to their guns.

Also, Hulk Comiquette is one of the few 1/5 as well as maybe Punisher 1/5 that were awesome statues. The Hulk Comiquette to me is to this day SS's most dynamic statue. The Punisher is big enough to almost be 1/4. Not quite though!

I couldn't disagree with you more! In fact, this is one of the most disappointing statues SS has ever produced! Boring! Overused pose of him perching on something.

Hard Hero to this day has the best DD I have ever seen. And even the second Bowen DD is nice!

I wouldn't have been upset if SS made DD first as a PF! Once they do the main baby, then go back and do what the hell you want! That makes more sense to me!

Boring? As opposed to bowen's exciting poses & sculpts? Bowen = not knowin! If I were you I'd take the time to look again, again, & again.

As for Hard Hero DD? Agreed, it is a good sculpt & pose,..........but paint apps are crap.

I'm not a fan of this announcement. It's great that they are standardizing the scales, but I'm only interested in mixed media - so the announcement of a Premium Format will leave me hanging anticipating whether it's really just a comiquette. I would consider Gambit and Rogue and Cyclops as comiquette's too rather than PFs - so it looks like I'm going to be cutting down even further.

I think of PFs not unlike painted versions, like old Marvel cards or something Alex Ross would do. But agreed, outerwear and pants work. Although I do like the Wolverine PF monkey1 to the haters), I couldn't see a costume like Back in Black Spider-Man as a PF, it had to be sculpted. And many PFs don't look like the source material anyay. Wolverine's seams, BP's sculpted texture, Gambit having silver and not blue...SSC tends to change costume elements anyway, reardless of format.

For those saying 1/4 scale fully sculpted as a norm won't ever work out, it already has in multiple cases.

No, it's never been the norm.

The problem with that arguement is except for Spider-Man, characters with cloth costumes in the comics have ALWAYS been 1/5 fully sculpted, or 1/4 cloth PF. That's the norm for Sideshow. The only 1/4 fully sculpted so far has been characters who couldn't be done with real cloth. Venom, Carnage, IM, War Machine & Silver Surfer have no cloth, therefore could not be PFs, so they were done in 1/4.

So it hasn't been the norm. If anything, the 3 Spider-Man comiquettes and possibly X-23 (don't have her, but she looks relatively big) are the only exceptions. Namor too, but those small undies would've been pointless as cloth. And even when you look at Iron/BiB Spidey, they don't have belts and separate shirt and pants like Wolverine does, so fully sculpted was the only option to not be like Sabretooth in a 1 piece.

I think it's a good idea to combine comiquette's and PF's into one. I just hope they call any PF's with real clothing: Mixed Media-PF . And any Comiquette, simply called PF's.

For those saying 1/4 scale fully sculpted as a norm won't ever work out, it already has in multiple cases.

it = fully sculpted (not norm)
Since 'norm' can't work out as 'multiple cases'.

The problem with that arguement is except for Spider-Man, characters with cloth costumes in the comics have ALWAYS been 1/5 fully sculpted, or 1/4 cloth PF. That's the norm for Sideshow.

Respectfully, although I never said it WAS the norm except for multiple instances (please reread my post), here is the current list.

Growing list of 1:4 (or close) scale comiquettes:

1. Carnage Comiquette
2. Venom Comiquette
3. Spiderman Comiquette
4. Ironman Comiquette
5. Stealth Ironman Comiquette
6. Punisher Comiquette (aimed for 1/4 confirmed by the sculptor Martin)
7. Elektra Comiquette (btw 1/5 and 1/4)
8. Mystique Comiquette (closer to 1/4)
9. Ironman Maquette
10. Back in Black Spiderman Comiquette (btw 1/5 and 1/4)
11. Iron Spiderman Comiquette
12. Man-Thing
13. Silver Surfer Comiquette.
14. Namor Comiquette
15. Classic Ironman Comiquette
16. Wolverine Comiquette
17. Warmachine Maquette
18. X-23 Comiquette

Namor too, but those small undies would've been pointless as cloth

They did it with Abomination and The Thing and Hulk wasn't far off in scarcity of cloth.

 

[VS1976]

Iron Spideman, Punisher, Elektra & Bib Spidey are not 1:4 scale

 

[fuzzylojiks]

Iron Spideman, Punisher, Elektra & Bib Spidey are not 1:4 scale

Yep they are between 1/4 and 1/5. That's why DD's head and arms are so small next to E's.

In-between yes except for Elektra. She is 1:5th scale all the way.
