If Sideshow was doing 1/6 Marvel like their upcoming DC 1/6 line,Nobody would even care about these or give them a look

I dunno man.. a lot of people are unhappy with the way SS is handling the DC line.. Superman looks like he's been hitting the bar and the late nights that come with them.. Batman has a Klingon forehead.. LOTS of hate for one of the two Joker head sculpts..

Personally.. I think they're all very cool looking.. but the point is.. people are always looking for something "else".

I'm excited to see what 3A/Wood make of the license... On one hand I think Ash knows how important these characters are to people and while his interpretation will no doubt be his own.. it won't be a crazy departure from what we know and love.. On the other hand.. Ash is never been known to play it "safe". If he's got the reigns.. and it fancies him to make Dr Doom a long legged half naked cyborg ninja chic.. then by golly.. he's gonna do that..

Either way, no sense in judging it now.. They can do spot on accuracy.. they can do stylized IP.. but can they find that sexy balance? I'm sure we'll see something soon.

The point may be moot - they've had the 2000AD license for 4 years and released one figure.

Not sure where the hate is on the DC line(it hasn't even really started)...The Joker looks great to me,so does Bats and Supes

don't get me wrong...I am interested to see what they come up with in Captain America,Thor,and Dr Doom (my 3 favs)...but if it strays too far from the source,these will be easy pass

Don't you say.... lol

I hope they stray far enough from the sources since that's what I expect from Ashley Wood, to make them look unconventional, but obviously they have to maintain the personality and the essence of the character.

Just quite a few grumbles amongst collectors since the figures were previewed at last year's SDCC. Check out the thread here and on OSW on Joker and you'll read a bunch of people's distaste for the comic book style, exaggerated face... to each their own..
Again.. I'm all for it.. will be preordering soon!

Actually.. 3. But I know what you're saying. On the other hand.. they've had Real Steel for just over a year and have two bots out, another finished and another proto.. I think it depends on demand and the particular license..

 

[Biojex]

DOOM could end up looking pretty cool. 3A's talent could lend for a great representation of the character.

I doubt Marvel will let Ash go too crazy with the designs. I imagine that threeA will have to get approval from Marvel for each design before we see prototype pics. I'm excited to see what Ash and threeA does with the license.

 

[Viking Spawn]

That's for 3A figures that aren't licensed.
Once you add the license cost, the price will go up.
Just look at the price of their Halo figure it's $220. Which I might add, isn't a stylized reinterpretation from 3A, so they can work outside of their typical style.

If the Marvel figures turn out anything like that Carter, you can definitely count me it!

 

[Biojex]

Well, they said in the announcement that they would be remained versions. So don't expect to see interpretations you're used to.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Some of the Spidey or Wolverine comic variations could be cool..

 

[RIDDICK]

But there'll be no comic variations at all

 

[Furyan]

Okay will wait to see anything before I cast judgement. I have 3A Rex,and although it took ages to come out its super quality. IF 3A really want my monies they would do marval zombies versions. I think those would go well with Woods style. Gimme ZOMBIES!

 

[Niltusk]

I don't like alot of 3A stuff, but their Halo stuff as well as the prototype Star Wars 6" stuff they did looked great. Really hoping they pull something out with this line that I like.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

$220 huh.......

Not a standard human fig though, it's an armoured suit one with lights and everything.

The point may be moot - they've had the 2000AD license for 4 years and released one figure.

Hot Toys have had the X-Men First Class license (Marvel) for 2 years snd released nothing

I don't like alot of 3A stuff, but their Halo stuff as well as the prototype Star Wars 6" stuff they did looked great. Really hoping they pull something out with this line that I like.

They will likely make 1/12 too. I ot my first 1/12th figure from them a few weeks back and it's basically a shrunk down 1/6 for more playability. Fully as articulated as a 1/6 TT.

I just meant that they could take some of the whackier incarnations & play with them a bit.

.. actually that doesn't sound so cool does it.

I remember Ash drawing Ghost Rider for Marvel i would like to see a Ghost Rider.Ash's Hulk could be interesting though.
