XM Studios 1/4 Colossus

Pictures from Bryan Tan

"Sawadeekap! So it’s an informal visit to Toys King on the 2nd floor Pantip Plaza Pratunam, Bangkok. Within the gorgeous gallery, they are displaying some upcoming XM products and here are some photos of Colossus. I didn’t wanna trouble the store owner as he was busy so I took a ruler and roughly measured some dimensions (won’t be too far off). 60cm H x 50cm W x 37cm D. Excuse mobile phone photos and please note these are prototypes not final. ", Bryan Tan.

IMO, this looks so much better than the PF.

Agreed, but I still feel something is off with this piece. Don’t exactly know what’s off, but I’ll wait for SS version and compare.

I'm right there with you. I like this XM Colossus much more than the OG PF but not enough to buy it and pay those enormous shipping costs. I'm also holding out hope that sideshow will release a kick ass new Colossus PF for the recent X-MEN line. I loved how Wolverine and Cable turned out in the new line. I'd love to say that about possible new Colossus, Cyke, and Nightcrawler PFs.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I love how dynamic the pose is and actually really dig the facial sculpt as well.

Hoping for some switchouts nonetheless, just for the sake of variety.

This looks fantastic! Perfect representation of Colossus!

 

[Malgus]

The best colossus I have seen.

I don't think you're in the minority. Everyone's comments seem pretty positive to me. If this were a sideshow Colossus, I'd have already POd it. However, XM pieces come with enormous shipping charges and that's what stops me from pulling the trigger on this piece. I also think sideshow will be releasing a new Colossus PF in the near future and I want to see how it measures up to this XM Colossus. So, I'm in a holding pattern right now.

XM Studios News

"XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Colossus! The strong man from X-Men is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. A must have to any X-Men fan, add Colossus to your collection today!

Colossus - Growing up on his parents' farm, Piotr Rasputin saw his older brother Mikhail become a Cosmonaut. Mikhail was later discovered to be a latent mutant with energy warping powers, and to keep him secret the government faked his death. In later years, Piotr learned that he too was a mutant, and could transform his flesh into steel, but he was content to use his powers to help his fellow farmers."

I don't like how the lines on his body don't line up

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.

Yikes! I don't like the either.

 

[aa909]

what's up with the texture on his suit? looks odd, not loving that graininess

Sorry about that lol

I guess it's texture but just goes to show how the simple design of sideshow's version works better IMO

 

[albundyland]

So glad we've got XM and Sideshow putting out Colossus at the same time. Very impressed with XM's interpretation. I love the dynamic pose and energy with the XM piece. Sideshow's is okay, but it looks like something that would have been released in 2010. Pretty plain. I thought they would have done something more exciting like with Rogue.

HaHa ...no worries. I've already decided this is not the Colossus statue for me anyway.

 

[INFECDEAD]

These are prototypes, some of those details will be lost in casting I would expect.
