I can make fun of it now, but I was just as guilty buying these issues when they hit the stands.
Me, too. Though I loved them when I was 10-11 years old, I don't have any nostalgic love for that crap. Jesus Liefeld sucks. So were those stupid X-Men costumes with all the pouches and the belts on the legs.I can make fun of it now, but I was just as guilty buying these issues when they hit the stands.

Fair enough. Not everyone wants to remember the 90's fondly. It was a mixed era for comics. Gimmicks were the order of the day back then. Image Comics didn't help things much either as most of the better artists were pulled there and given their own book to create.
90's X-Men costumes are considered by many to be classics. I accept the ridiculousness of the belts on the legs, jackets over costumes, trench coats over costumes, pouches on the belts, etc. I also have to accept the huge shoulder pads, hair dryer guns, 80's punk rock and pouches on top of pouches from X-Force. It's all part of the era. I bet you that if Sideshow does a Cyclops PF people want a Jim Lee outfit which is guilty of some of what you said: bright blue, bright yellow, pouches, leg straps, etc.
People want to rag on Liefeld? Fine. Just be consistent and look at the other outfit designs that you like. Especially the sacred Jim Lee stuff. Jubilee's outfit comes to mind. Also check out this pic. When Jim Lee draws them the X-Force outfits don't look that out of place.

Jim Lee X-men is just completey awesome and its why he is so revered as a comic artist - its because of his X-MEN work for the most part.
The image above shows why he is just fantastic.

Batman's Hush aside, I can't recall anything DC that stands out to me more than his Marvel stuff. That Superman run was awful. The Batman run with Frank Miller was crap. Everything else Lee+DC is forgettable for me.
His X-men stuff defined the way most people visually looked at X-Men. Even when Joe Madureira got there with his anime look it was hard to forget Jim Lee. Characters like Omega Red, Gambit and Sabretooth would not be visually as exciting and then popular if it wasn't for Lee. Especially Omega Red who hasn't really done much but people love him because of how he looks. Main points of reference for the character are those 90's Jim Lee X-Men issues.
The group shot above has the definitive looks for most of the X-Men, X-Factor and X-Force members. If anyone here was given a choice for an X-Men statue I see most of the outfits coming from that era. Sideshow feels the same way if you look at their Marvel portfolio. This serves to illustrate my point on the whole Liefeld/X-Force debate. I know is popular to bash the dude (justifiably so) but let's keep it in perspective for those of us that remember the era of comics and want some consistency on the source material and what we consider iconic.

the dio itself will most likely be big, at least i'd hope so with as many characters it looks like it'll have, but i think the characters themselves will be rather small. it's the only way they'll be able to get them all into one dio.

I don't buy dios - just don't like them much but I'll be very interested to see how these turn out

That should be fine. How many characters will the dio be comprised of?

The first four, I guess. Wolvie, X-23, Wolfsbane and Warpath. I'm cool with the lineup.

Most Dios are between 1:8 and 1:7 scale. I don't see this much bigger than that in reality but to give you an idea if they go 1:8 that puts the 7'2" Warpath at just under 11" which if you look at any 1:6 figure still will be impressive to see even though the inspiration sucks.
