Preview of the X-Men/Sentinel 3 VS Dio!

[p!tu]

My new Motto:


''If it aint Hulk it sux''

 

[Darklord Dave]

I disagree about the Sentinel position - I like the small footprint of this statue - will make displaying all 3 easier. Would be better if it lit up - but otherwise it's fine. Everyone has to ***** and moan from the first pictures - that seems to be the way of things nowadays, but as it gets closer to shipping and more pics come out the tide turns.

people have the right to say if the dislike something & and long as they say why they dislike I don't see the problem.

I might add that it seems the minority so far that like it (of views expressed so far) so the moaners are not exactly the hardcore dislike everything brigade & to dismiss a lot of people views as "the way of things nowadays" seems quite an assumption

Most of times I would agree with you, this is not one of those times. No one is *****ing about the sculpt (though I think Kitty's colors are off, not that big of a deal), this is about what should've been done.

It's all been said before, but how the **** can you not have a lighted exclusive? It's the exclusive in the first two and I would've bet my life it would've been the exclusive here.

How is Kitty not phasing out of something? It's her power and could've looked bad ass in so many ways.

I love gbeefs version and I'd be excited as hell if that's what we were getting. With #2 about to ship, this is a serious let down. Shai may be right

THIS IS ABSOLUTE

My GOD SS talk about a lazy cash cow. If this doesn't DRASTICALLY improve before shipping I may not buy this piece then be done with SS.

They were SO DAMN LAZY they used the EXACT same sculpts for Wolvie & Kitty as Beast & Emma.

Wolverine is so damn ripped because beast is bigger and Kitty's face looks screwed up because it's Emma's face. They just changed the hair.

There's no light up feature and the Alternate torso SUCKS!

The sad thing is, someone actually sat there and thought...WOW...this is great. Wait until people see this.

By far the worst piece I have seen from SS.

I think I'm going to sell my EX #2 and not even worry about #3. The first one is the only one in the entire set worth having now.

Gold...Seriously...Gold! What kind of Color Blind Morons does SS employ now.

insults don't help convey your point across

I do agree the the pose of wolverine & beast are very similar

 

[The Josh]

I actually like the regular more than the exclusive if I was to get it. Though the exclusive does come with both I know. I also would have expected the exclusive to have a light up feature and would have looked pretty cool with this and would have completed things nicely just from a outside viewpoint. That being said its a nice piece but I do think its a bit of a miss not to go light up on the exclusive.

I agree keep it constant, keep it lit..... Also the exclusive looks awkward with wolive in normal clothing. There on a battlefield not shopping!... I think the main point everyone is pissed off about is the lights!.. NO LIGHTS!..WTF!

If there were not part of a series and on its own im sure there would be more people that would like this statue. I personally think theres nothing wrong with the sculpt and paint app.

Ur right they don't. I was just that disappointed. I've been looking forward to seeing this piece since #2 was announced. All that anticipation and hope and excitement was destroyed when I saw this piece. I really do believe that if it stays looking like this it will easily be the worst Marvel piece that SS has made yet.

I was going to stay up late tomorrow night to see if they were going to put this up for order. Now I see I have no reason to. I'll wait until the next day and if it isn't available. I know I'm ok with that. 24 hours ago was completely different. This really has turned me off to SS. I'm now actually looking more forward to Hard Hero's Blue Angel statue that I am this one.

 

[misbitski]

Did I miss something...has SSC confirmed it doesn't light-up? Seems like there is a lot of speculation at this point.

Also, we've heard pieces DO light-up, and they turn out not to be. Case in point, Balrog. Or, they forget to put the pics/description up (Ghost Rider LS). Be patient, maybe there is more info on the way.

You guys are brutal! Count me in for a preorder. Not sure if I want the EX or regular. They're both cool. I just wish I didn't miss the 1st in the series

If the Superfan says it's a bit of a miss, it's a miss.

...lol...mad?

 

[occulum]

I hope this destroys the line and prices plummet so I can pick up a set cheap sometime down the line ...

 

[tma1c]

...lol...mad?

lol, That was my first reaction.

 

[Statue You]

Very dissapointing piece....the exclusive is very lame(what makes it even worse is that it looks like Wolvie shaved his body).

 

[K_C]

A part of me was somewhat annoyed I missed the train on the first 2. I just don't have the funds to pay above retail. I'll admit this statue makes my pain a little more digestible...not an impressive statue. But if I had the first 2, I would've picked this one up as well...just to have the series. My biggest problem with it is Kitty...she's all wrong. The exclusive is weak as well...I'd get the regular over the exclusive.

 

[woodsy]

What an incredibly lame exclusive! Light up features for dio's 1 and 2 and then this? Simply a cost cutting measure by SS, nothing more nothing less. SS you've really dropped the ball with this one!

 

[Darth Rage]

For the record, I said during the preview wolverine looks awesome - I stand by that opinion. I agree with Dave about the smaller footprint (no pun intended) will make it easier to display all three together.

Kitty's costume color is just wrong. Who knows, maybe we'll find out these pics are the wrong ones (it happened with PF Leia and her Mos Eisley eyelashed) or Sideshow will fix it ( like the wrong color lightsaber blade on one of the Star Wars 12"ers). I'm not throwing the towel in just yet.

As far as lights, I was actually a little disappointed with the second statue only having the chest light up. The first statue has so very many wires and cables and bits lit up, it really makes for an incredible display. Trust me, I know about the horrors of light problems, it took three statues before I got one that works correctly and entirely and consistantly. It was well worth the wait though, as incredibly frustrating as it was. I would really have liked to see the same with the second statue, having the cables and wires with the flashing lights, but I'm cool with just the chest light. To have nothing light up(assumedly) on the third statue, and to have the same tired wolverine costume / not costume chango parts is just plain tired, boring, and lazy, things that I certainly do not expect from an experienced and well respected high end collectibles company like Sideshow. I am hoping that they will surprise us all and tomorrow we'll find out that both versions have lights in the wires coming out of the boot. Hey, you never know right?

Either way I'm ordering, Wolverine is really needed to finish out this display correctly in my book. But yes, this could have been better. I was really expecting to be blown away by this final installment. If the only exclusive ( read as no lights) is Logan in the T-shirt I'll just save myself some money and get it from a dealer. Hopefully disco Kitty is detachable - if she comes with vintage 70's gold lame jumpsuit I can always display this piece without her.

should you have to do that with a $300 piece though?

 

[Hecubus]

This will be good next to the others - but on its own is a miss...

Why is sculpting Wolverine without his mask such a hit and miss?
