Oddly enough Beast is the only astonishing that even remotely piqued my interest. Maybe it's the books...
I'll be all over Angel though and Cyclops astonishing costume is one of the best ones in the Marvel universe imo. If I miss the EX of that piece I don't think I'll ever recover

Too bad Cyke won't be in 1/4 scale. I would have like to mix and match with the PFs.

ummm....its $27...not exactly wallet busting.

True...but im already receivng two comiquettes before month end I have a third item on flex. The $27 is inconvenient. Also, I dont want to cancel and lose the deposit. I have ordered many times from sideshow and this was the first NRD, for those actually ordering, im sure they felt the same way. Even if its a character you like, you dont know where you will be financially or even if you will still like it when it actually ships.
I thought alot about the pose on this and I realized when everything was going down in Second Coming, Beast is the only person who stood up to Cyclops and left the team based on principles. I respected that and i think this statue captures Beast not just as the warrior but as the scholar and the moralist that he is. In recent comics he hardly ever fights, his lines are always read in hospital rooms or with the other mutant scientest trying to solve the gene issue. In fact he wears the lab coat more than anything now and I am glad he is not in that. I think its fitting.

plus if you're really bored you can read the 1/5 scale books.... brush up on some eco.

Angel looks great...I would be hard pressed to choose between angel and archangel though. Plus it would be a b***h to display a wings spread statue.

He is resting on his stretched finger..
Yes I saw that as well, but I don't like the whole R2-D2 he's sitting on anyway..

When you look at those heads, its quite hard to guess the correct statue size that goes with it..
But it is a real pitty that DD is that small. It would be real nice when he was 1/5 also (like other comiquettes). Yes I know 1/4 would rock, but that base is just to big to do so.

doing it...for all of us
I just find it refreshing that the low quantity alert counter may actually be in use truthfully for this little experiment.

Yeah, Spidey is listed as 24". Colossus and Beast are 17" so that wall goes up 7" higher than them. Sideshow's listed heights are only estimations tho'.

That's actually not that accurate. Whilst the apple is used for comparison, the pics themselves aren't taken at the same distance, they are shown to encompass the entire piece in relation to an apple. Not to mention that 1/4 scale in comparison to 1/5 scale isn't just about height but proportion of the actual body pieces themselves. BUT rest assured judging by Sideshow's past track record, I would say collectors have nothing to fear. The X-Men Astonishing Comiquettes will be in scale with one another.

It doesn't matter how far the pics are taken, you scale the apple to the same size before putting them together. of course it's an estimation only and dependent on camera angle and position of the apple to the base. That's why I said 'rough'.
That's also why I did the head size comparison, you can also do that with other parts of the body if you want. The X-men all are 1/5. I have something to fear tho', as I want to mix and match my astonishing x-men outfits with my PFs and 1/4 scale comiquettes but you can't cos they aren't of the same scale.
I'm not too sure we are looking at the same track record about comiquettes scale consistency tho', have you seen AH! black cat displayed next to AH! mystique com?
Are you getting all 3 of these X-men comiquettes Mike?

Colossus and Beast are quite distinctive, theres no way those 2 share the same scale. As much as I want to believe that Sideshow is doing its best to ensure scale, I think practicality and cost analysis is dictating what size these come in. If those two were in scale, Im thinking that the cost of Beast would be closer to the price point of Hulk's Comiquette. Sideshow knows that more people are willing to pay X for Beast than making something that big... not many people like Beast THAT much.
