Statue SSC Storm Comiquette

The 90's generation has the buying power now....there's nothing you can do. Companies are catering to us now

It seems like I am the only person who likes Byrne, Cockrum, and Lee?

I don't get it because all three of these artists transformed X-Men and led to a resurgence of fan interest comics. Byrne and Lee

As far as all the hate toward Jim Lee, fans in their 30's have the collectible buying power so many companies are going to target that audience. Plus, he is an amazing artist- if you go to SDCC, watch him 'throw' together one of his drawings for the charity auction.

ALL ARE EPIC!
Cockrum:

Byrne:

Lee:

Like inks said before jim lee and 1/4 or fail!

To be honest I know that I would have liked and bought any Storm they would have come out with, besides this one with the Mohawk. I just can relate to her more with that hairdo and any costume.

I agree, I like them all, I just want consistent artist design, each of these periods has very distinct looks.

I would like Brynes Storm as a PF rather then Jim Lee. But the rest of the PF must be Jim Lees.

Don't let Bullseye read this Jim Lee post...LOL!!!

Well it is true, lol. The Bryne costume is just far superior to Jim Lees by a long mile. I just think it will translate better in the PF medium.

If Sideshow promised that they were going to release an X-Men line based on Bryne or Cockrum, in a consistent 1/5th scale, I would buy every one of them. However, the only consistent thing about Sideshow and scale is their inconsistency.

I know I've given a lot of crap to the strict 1/4 guys around here, but I gotta agree with having a sense of unity is important, especially in scale. I still think you should mostly forget about it, and buy what you like, but grouping different scales together, or the prospect of having a piece of a lone scale can turn buyers off. I recently sold off most of my 1/6th stuff, and the piece I kept can't really go with other scales. I think this line of thought is going only going to grow when I get the she-hulk pf. I feel like I'm pigeon-holed into supporting both lines --something SS probably anticipated. This is why my fingers are crossed the Cap com is 1/5

If people were paying attention they would have seen that a new line was announced by SS based on this artists work with Sue Storm being the first, Storm second and Black Widow and Lyra were also previewed.

I need to pay more attention

Any link to info or pics??

I recently sold off all my 1/6 statues as well. I'm only buying 1/4 or 1:1 busts

I like all 3 and have read & own issues from all 3, but the lee designs are my favorite

I kinda wish I had the restraint to have a plan like that. Unfortunately I've gone so far off the deep end, that I have started off collecting everything that I personally consider to be a great statue or great statue of a character I really like. The first 1:1 busts I am signed up for now are wolverine and thor, which I'm pretty psyched about and curious to see how they look in person. I hear lots of folks talk about how busts are lame, but I couldn't help myself from the pictures and videos from last years SDCC.

You're not the only one. I grew up on Dave Cockrum and John Bryne's art on Uncanny X-Men.

I loved it when Jim Lee became the artist on UXM.

Cockrum, Bryne, Lee and most recently John Cassaday (on Astonishing X-Men) have all brought their best work, IMO, to the X-Men.

No Thor 1:1?

Joe Madureira/Salvador Larroca for me when Lobdell was writing. I'd love to see some statues inspired by those pencillers.

Welcome to the freak show fborecki. Judging from your posts so far, you are going to fit in just fine around here. I chuckle in reading your posts because it wasn't too long ago that I was in your position...blissfully unaware of what lay behind the screen of the Sideshow homepage and then opening it and like Pandora's Box, I unleashed a plague against my wallet.

I've got the Wolverine and Thor 1:1 busts on order too. The Thor is going to be next to impossible to display due to its size.

Madureira and Larroca were badass when it came to drawing the X-Men!

Scott Lobdell was a pretty cool writer. He did a signing at the comic shop I worked for in SoCal, very cool person to talk with.

Thanks Mister Ski and you are SO SO right. I just created my account recently and got onto the marvel collectors scene but it's gripped me in a way I can't fully explain. It's like being a kid all over again and getting to share that bond with others who feel the same way. Needless to say I'm home and proud to call my self a freak. well a collector freak You know what I mean I look forward to continue building my collection and sharing the passion I bring to collecting with all of you. Now if I can just make more money

(Side note) The Wolverine and Thor bust are going to rock, but you're right in regards to displaying them. Thor I think will go on my kitchen table
