Please Standardise to 1:4 Scale

[Shai]

Hope Sideshow understands.Its unanimous.

SS needs to pick a scale and stick with it. Remember SS.....bigger is better!

Size matters!

 

[Gruson]

I hope they do some 1:3 scale pieces at some point too.

 

[zerokill]

Let's get them to standardize all comiquettes to 1:4 first before start coming new scales. Otherwise I will be even more selective of what I buy.

 

[Enigma]

where is answer? things will be same size now? i want put statue in group with my premium format for friends see. must look good as group. Tell me what to buy for all same size as premium format, I like that size, big is good.

I really don't want a Colossus in 1:5 scale then to wait for an eternity to get the 1:4 scale one.

Same for the upcoming Olivetti Hulk, if it's 1:5 scale that will be so very dissapointing. Hulk should be massive and tower over the PFs.

 

[zerokill]

I can't imagine them doing Hulk at 1:4. I hope they do but I doubt it.

 

[aces888]

I can't see why they couldn't make a Hulk in 1/4 scale. Many would be willing to pay for it.

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
7. Elektra Comiquette
8. Mystique Comiquette
9. Ironman Maquette
10. Back in Black Spiderman Comiquette
11. Iron Spiderman Comiquette

Any future 1:5 offerings will not go well next to these or any Premium Formats.

Other figures that 1:5 comiquettes won't go with are the premium formats from other genres like Star Wars, LOTR, SOTAs Street Fighter line etc.

Man Thing is 1:4 too:

Man Thing is 1:4 too:

Ahh, missed him, added. Thanks.

 

[aces888]

Was Man-Thing ever this huge in the comics?

 

[fuzzylojiks]

But Comiquettes aren't even in scale with themselves. All the Iron Man pieces are 1/4. Venom is and Carnage looks to be 1/4.
Magneto is damn near a 1/6 scale figure. The rest are roughly 1/5. It is ____ing stoopid of Sideshow having different scales in the same line. It is even more retarded having characters that are not possible in PF form to be shrunk down 25% inconsistently depending on I don't even know what "thinking".

From Hellboy on SF:

This whole discussion is tired. Seriously guys it all comes down to personal preference. PFs are here to stay. Take them or leave them but nobody needs convincing that their opinions are faulty either pro or con. Sideshow has already proven there is a market for both formats and many of their upcoming characters are being done as both PFs and Comiquettes/Maquettes.

The one thing that I do find fault with is the inconsistency in scale. I don't like the mix of 1/4 and 1/5 scale pieces. Personally I'd like to see all of these done in 1/4 scale so people could mix formats to suit their tastes and have their displays appear in scale.

 

[fuzzylojiks]

I'm no noob. Collections and brains aren't measured in post counts. I was collecting PF's long before this Comiquette ____e started and I want figures like Silver Surfer etc that can't be PF because of Sideshow's stoopid mixed media rules to be in scale with a PF line that is 1/4 scale and has been around longer.
Some pieces certainly do not work in fabric as well as others. It comes down to material choice, implementation and pose.
A statue like Red Skull PF (which is done right) in fabric and at 20 inches is going to be waaaay better than any Red Skull 16 inch polystone Comiquette version in any pose.
Yes the Spidey PF conversion is nice, but the original in my opinion is flawed in pose, base and fabric choice. I am happy in some ways that the Spidey Comiquette will be 1/4 scale like Venom is and Carnage appears to be. But it still leaves the Comiquette lines' scale all over the place and characters I want out of whack with my existing PF collection.
You know, the collection I started BEFORE Comiquettes came out.

Hi Guys and girls. I wanted to share my thoughts on Sideshow's scale policy or in other words the lack of it. This issue has been buggin me since I got magneto comiquette. I understand that some formats can vary in scale like pfs and comiquettes but how about the scale differences within the lines. For example magneto is too small and has a nameplate unlike any other comiquette. Cap LSB is too big and thor lsb is too small. Adam huges commqettes dont go with other marvel girls bcs others are simply too big.I am sure you guys can come up with more. For me collecting a line is like assembling a puzzle the more you get the more you have a complete look. However with scale differences like these it makes it too hard. I realy wanna hear your opinions on this and better yet I would really like an explanation from someone who works for sideshow. Thanx for reading I think this is an important issue.

"scale" pfffftt!

who cares? as long as it's in the ballpark and the sculpt is awesome, I'm not going to let something like the Punisher being an inch shorter than Cap or X-23 being too big compared to MJ, better things to worry about.

Q.Will you guys standardize the scale issue among the Marvel releases? Many pieces have been off 1:4 and some 1:5 mixed with 1:4 comiquettes coming out?
A.Scale is something we talk about, but not something we regard as a real issue. I do agree that we need to convey more about the scale at the time of pre-order, and we’re working on that – so you’ll know if our next X-Men Comiquette will display better with your Premium Format figures or with smaller scale Comiquettes. It is possible that we will do more ‘group development’ so that related characters are all in scale, but at least with Marvel, scale will continue to vary.


That's rather frustrating that Sideshow feels that scale is not a real issue. Its definitely a concern to many collectors, myself included.

Everything 1:4! PF's rock

And I don't care if a 1/4 ends up with no fabric, that's no good reason to switch the scale entirely.

The one line I do excuse is from scale is LSB. And I only really care for LSB's when they are monster or Galactus size, and a 1:1 simply wouldnt make sense and a 1/4 simply wouldn't do it justice.
