Premium Format SSC Thor PF and Destroyer Maquette

[The Ringer]

I have to say that Thor is the most realistic PF Sideshow has put out to date. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

If the "original" Destroyer pic post is 1/2 scale, wouldn't he tower over IM maquette? Just wondering.

Yeah, you're right. He's only the same height as the surrounding 1/2 scales, so that piece would definitely be smaller than 1/2.

Hi!

Saw the pics and my quick take on it is this:

I love Destroyer Maquette......At $500 it is a bit expensive but I think it will go much higher than that in the future...

I did not like Thor.......great likeness, lousy pose and terrible base.....They could have done better.......

Still a great looking piece but if I'm getting anything, it will be Destroyer only....

I mostly agree about Thor's pose, as I said initially when the design sketch was released. I will still get it nonetheless as I think it is still a fantastic piece.

No Destroyer for you, brother?

If the maquette is supposed to be screen accurate to the movie, then I'm trying to figure out why the light-up feature seems to be so significantly different.

I like the maquettes eye better. Looks more menacing. I'm getting both.

I have to admit after watching that awesome trailer Destroyer is a very cool customer....I may have to rethink purchasing him after all.

exactly!

 

[Barbarian]

Yup, they look really damn cool and the prices are fine by me. I'm in.

Ditto!

Thanks Barb. Press area of the site doesn't have them in there yet.

No problemo, brother.

With a few statues due soon I don't think I could Justify both . I had just ordered Kratos to

 

[The Josh]

Awesome Josh.

Heck yeah Both pieces look awesome and are in the appropriate price range. Can't wait to get them ordered.

I'm not griping at all, but it would have been sweet as hell if the light could have shined through the recessed lines of the armor.

That would have looked great!!

Oh yeah. When do you expect to pick him up? I just cannot possibly pass these pieces up. If I have to, I'll sell something to make money and space for them.

And why hasn't SS revealed the edition sizes of these two pieces? I thought they were doing that as standard policy.

 

[CelticWarrior]

They do both look great imo, i just wish thors base had a a lil something to it.... l know the rune this is gotten its mileage but that base is lil boring..... but both are great looking very pleased.

Kratos should be with me July
Your a bad influence

Yeah, that would have been glo-rious!

One thing unique about HT is that, their 12" is far better than the other brands, including Medicom and SS. They have been doing detail stuffs really well. But a statue always comes with a message, like for instance to me Thanos com gives me the feeling that, "All heroes suck big, I am the best." 12" can never give you such feeling.
.

Disagree.

The advantage of the 12" HT is that they are dynamic and extremely versatile. Simply by changing their pose or grouping a few together in a set pose can recreate any feeling you could imagine.

For example changing an HT Iron Man from a hall of armor pose to say raising him up to an in flight pose changes the entire dynamic of the figure and the display, as well as the feeling you get looking at it.

I like SSC statues as well but they are very static, (and expensive) and being limited to 1 pose can make or break a statue. If I were a fan of character 'X' and SSC produced only 1 statue with a crappy pose, I'd be s____ out of luck and may never get a character 'X' statue that I could truly enjoy since there is zero versatility.

And why hasn't SS revealed the edition sizes of these two pieces? I thought they were doing that as standard policy.

My guess is that it will be listed on Thursday on the order page.

It's true. Sorry, brother. You will definitely dig Kratos. He's among the best pieces out there, and that ain't no lie!
