Thanos and Mistress Death Polystone Diorama

[Skiman]

I dont care about scale...as long as it looks good.

This is a good philosophy.

I've grown with this method and liked my Pun Com. 1/4-1/5 and looks good is awesome IMO.

 

[Bullseye]

Another thing is not to give a ____ what other collectors think. If you like the sculpt that is all that matters.

 

[Skiman]

I really judge stuff on what I think and not what everyone else is thinking, there was a lot of hate for the Punisher piece but I stood on ground because I like the way the character looked and the sculpt.

 

[Bullseye]

The Punisher comiquette? Really? I think it looks amazing.

Oh yea, some ppl didn't like how buff he was and that the sculpt didn't really portrayed what the Punisher should look like.

Same thing goes with pajamas I love the Premium Format line, I think all of them look great. If they look better stripped then so be it but I'm still gonna love what Sideshow puts out as stock from the PF line. It's actually what hooked me into the line to begin with.

Although that doesn't mean I hate Coms, those are great looking as well but I believe they can't be compared because they are like apples and oranges.

Fuzzy I've had this discussion with Filip over 2 threads and before all the smack talk, doll labelling and noob calling started I was actually raising my point in a sensible way. Yes my argument has been misunderstood, deliberately by some here, but whatever. To me scale is important. My whole collection is based on 1:4 scale pretty much. If you took a great life size statue and shrunk it from 1:1 and then down through the scale sizes of 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6 the 1:1 will easily be the best version. It really is a law of diminishing returns or a devolution of the species. But in terms of displaying a lot of characters, on a budget with limited room 1:6 to 1:4 scale tends to be the norm.

I think Sideshow needs to settle on a scale and stop dicking around with all sorts of different scaled statues in the Comiquette line. Now I admit I am biased because of my collection of 40 PF's and want consistency in scale in representing the characters. I just can't understand the logic Sideshow has in making 1/5, borderline 1/6 and 1/4 scale Comiquettes. If Comiquettes were in scale with themselves that would be well and good. It sucks having characters that are not possible in PF form to be shrunk down 25% to 1/5 scale. The opposite equally applies to Comiquette collectors who get oversized characters in the range.

I started collecting Comiquettes with the first Iron Man and have been frustrated ever since with the scale being all over the shop. I would have bought the Punisher and Mystique Comiquettes no problem if they had been 1/4 scale. They are very nice sculpts, but that same sculpt would be better at 1/4 scale. The Punisher just doesn't cut it next to say the Hellboy 1 PF which is basically in the same pose but is dwarfed by it.

I actually prefer 1/3 scale over 1/4 scale - the Cinemaquettes I have for me are the perfect size to manage a large number of statues in a display and they absolutely dominate the 1/4 scale statues I have. This is why I guess I feel so strongly about how much less of an impact a 1:5 statue has compared to a 1:4 one.

In an online chat for Fantacular I think it was - one to the top dogs over at Sideshow said he didn't see differences in scale being an issue for the Comiquette line. Well it is for me, and I'm not buying them in 1:5.

Yep, I like all my stuff to go together heightwise too. To me it's just weird having a Ms. Marvel towering over Punisher next to her, and Mystique towering over Black Cat. Does not look right imo. Others don't mind as much and like eclectic displays. Same thing for the Pajama PFs. Just a matter of preference.

If they followed through with the Iron Man comiquette and made everything 1/4 to me it would have been nice then PFs can be displayed next to comiquettes in scale. I feel they just got greedy and made 1/5 pieces so people would like to have their collection go with each other have to collect both and get both PFs AND comiquettes (and further justify the price differences between them). Seems like they just wanted to double dip on the characters and someone in the meeting room decided this was a way to do it.

I don't mind that much except that we now will have to wait extra long for the 1/4 version since they will want to spread out the releases (i.e. 1/5 Colossus comiquette). Which also means if you like the 1/5 costume there is no chance you will ever see it in 1/4 scale, which is sad.

For people like me who like both PFs (only when done right) and comiquettes it's going to be impossible to display them next to each other and having them go well.

I think we are deviating from Thanos here tho' : P

INFECDEAD! Yes, you and I have definately had some fun taking jabs at each other over a few threads. However, please believe me when I say, I do this jokingly. I was only irked when you called comiquettes pieces of ____. At that time, I thought you were taking things a little too seriously. This post makes your stance clear. I also agree with you. SS messed up the comiquette scale something fierce! I fear they will never fix it.

I do believe a Thanos PF will be made. Hopefully that will be the one you can add to your collection. I noticed that SS is releasing characters that don't translate well to PF's as 1/4 scale comiquettes. For example: Iron Man, Venom, and Silver Surfer are all 1/4 scale comiquettes. I believe these were released as 1/4 scale comiquettes because it would be very hard to release them as PF's. This way these pieces can be added to a PF collection without ever making them as PF's. They fit right in.

Since the Thanos Dio appears to be 1/5 scale that leads me to believe SS will release a 1/4 scale Thanos as a PF!

 

[spidermonkey]

The es. is 600 for the ex. thats reasonable I guess. I'm still looking forward to it.

 

[fuzzylojiks]

Not bad for Thanos.

I hope so too! This dio doesn't do it for me.

 

[Ktjn]

Um, wasn't everyone saying Thanos's face was awful and his arms stubby? This thing is 300 over what it should be IMO. I didn't even order it, but knew it was gonna happen.

 

[Dr Hulk]

can anyone confirm on a "Thanos as a PF"...if this is true i'm going to cancel the dio and wait for the PF..

thanos as a PF will look silly imo, let's see a COM.

 

[filip629]

I also believe Thanos doesn't translate into a PF easily! Even if Thanos is released as a com, it will be in 1/4 scale. Venom, Iron Man, and Silver Surfer are proof that a character that is difficult to release as a PF will be made into a 1/4 scale comiquette. There is no chance that another SS Thanos will be in anything less than 1/4 scale. It would be flat out stupid to have two 1/5 scale Thanos SS statues.

 

[INFECDEAD]

I think it will be ages before any more Thanos sculpts are made. Like years...I agree Sideshow needs to look at what is best for the character in terms of presentation in PF form, I'd be happy with the only mixed media on the PF being jewels in the Infinity Gauntlet.

 

[Reefer Shark]

I dont care if it's a comiquette or PF, just want a 1/4 scale Thanos.

Ya never know... Mystique got both within a relatively short time span, and both of those worked out well for SSC.
