XM Studios X-Men Alliance

[StringKeyRhythm]

"Hi everyone here is the new project that we working on . We call is X Men Alliance . They are sold separately and can be pieces together to form a big diorama set.
There are a total of 12 characters and 2 sentinel forming this massive battle scene diorama. With Set A consisting of 6 character and a sentinel and same for set B .They are of 1/6 scale so expect the sentinel to be big at around 1metre( from head to toe).
The first images you can see the line art design for the Set B battle scene.
Here is our first design that is approved colossus VS sentinel. These 2 are sold in a set . Comments and feedback are welcome.
Each character will comes with their own base for individual display and when forming the battle scene they can be placed in it ."

[XM STUDIOS]

Thanks , i was trying to post it up , not good at forum tools.

[cartman5579]

Great! More stuff i get to spend my money on :)

[khrisc]

hmm..sorry but im confused..which one is the approved one? the walking colossus or the slouching colossus?

[actionjackson83]

Hmm I wonder who the character at the very back is.... looks like an awesome setup though, any idea yet on Scale? 1/6 or 1/5 and any chance of getting it license for US sale :)

[Rasp Lame]

Awesome. Can we get a bigger edition size than the 1/4 scales so its easier to get your hands on one.

[XM STUDIOS]

I written it clearly on the scale ......

The line art is not clear ???? One showing the front view and one showing the side view ......

[XM STUDIOS]

Awesome. Can we get a bigger edition size than the 1/4 scales so its easier to get your hands on one.

Yes we are looking into this . We should allocated a certain ES to be PO as a set. So collectors that want the whole set need not worry about not able to get every pieces.

[actionjackson83]

I written it clearly on the scale ......

Lol sorry was reading too fast :dork:

[Oncowcow]

looks like
gambit, archangel, x23, colossos, nightcrawler and ????

and what about the other 6 XMEN on the 2nd diorama?

the Singapore wholesalers must offer to ship them in batches otherwise the shipping costs will break our bank accounts fast if do it in 5-6 times...please XM when people ordered them in set please design and bigger combo boxes for easy packaging and shipping.

[XM STUDIOS]

This project will run till 2016 , so collectors have lot of times to save up

it seem to be rogue, not too much x-men female wear jacket, combo box is cool, if all come with same ES number could be prefect

easy sir..im sorry if you think my question is dumb but it wasnt really clear to me because to me, Colossus in the line art looks like he is walking while the other is hunched over or slouching..but thanks for the clarification..i meant no disrespect or anything.

[The Mule]

Let's play the guessing game for the 2nd row of characters?
Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Beast aaand... Iceman? Banshee?

Magneto?

:D

[iceprince_x]

Can we know who's who in the list of 12 statues?

Price range?

And can we like sign up to guarantee to complete the entire set?

Thanks.

Save money or build a new house? Joking! :thumbs2:

This will look amazing, but i have no space for it. :banghead:

Still ironing the details .

[Vru]

now will be complicate to explain to my wife that we need a new bigger house when only 6 months ago I said No to her when she gave birth to our first daughter... :drama:

[Demona]

I'm not seeing the "jacket" on a female. Are we talking about the girl on top of the Sentinel?

And not for certain if these are Blue/Gold teams, or current member mash-ups.

So just going on mash-ups, I'm guessing X-23, Colossus, Angel/Archangel, Nightcrawler, Domino, and I'm not sure if the chick with the sword if Majik or Psylocke. If they are doing Psylocke it's an awesome X-Force dio.

It'd be nice to have a new team and old team.

[travis]

Awesome. Can we get a bigger edition size than the 1/4 scales so its easier to get your hands on one.

And if this thing is over 5 grand to buy don't you think it has to be super limited. You know how big this is if there are 2 sentinels and 8 or more 1/6 xmen?

[Dusk]

12 X-Men. 6 for each sentinel.

i dont think thats a sword..that character can pass as gambit with his staff..the one on the left of colossus is the girl with jacket which most probably is rogue :)

[actionjackson83]

Girl with the jacket might be storm more than rogue, I don't think Rogue shoots projectiles out of her hands

[nexus]

Absolutely Brilliant. Who are the characters besides Colossus, Archangel and Nightcrawler? Looks like X-23 but can't tell who the other two are--maybe Gambit and Rogue. Would be great to see Storm, Iceman and Havok.

I'd consider selling my Sideshow dios in favor of this and then augment the characters with Koto Danger Room pieces. I'd also really like a swap-out feather wing Angel (blue/white costume). Somehow I think there will be a Wolverine swap-out with X-23, which would work fine for me. Would be nice to add a couple of "fallen" characters to the base, which would be a great way to get in one or two additional characters like Polaris, who could be beside Havok.

I do think there needs to be some kind of a program where a buyer can get all of the pieces. By that time hopefully I'll have 5 XM pieces registered.

Any Plans for:
1/6 Fantastic Four vs. Dr. Doom (or Super Skrull)
1/6 Avengers vs. Ultron
1/6 Spiderman vs. Sinister Six/Spiderman vs. Symbiotes (preferred)

[immortalblade]

Darn you XM.

[Marcel54]

I do think there needs to be some kind of a program where a buyer can get all of the pieces.

Yeah, and preferably the same numbers and if possible a payment plan as well.

12 X-men and 2 one meter Sentinels will amount to 5000+ in total.:eek:

[KevinK]

YESSS!! I sincerely hope that there will be a bigger ES than the 1/4 line. Given the lower price range and scale, presumably the market for this line will be higher in number. I think it makes perfect sense to increase the ES accordingly.
I'm a bit confused about the comment "These two are sold in a set". Could you elaborate? Which two are you referring to?
Also, you mention that each character comes with own base for individual display...so does that mean it will come with two different displays, or do you mean that the individual display will mount onto the others to form part of the overall display?

[Mamba]

This is insane.

I am sure this gonna be epic, but I have 2 issues: space and money lol

[khrisc]

i hope this line will be affordable..one can hope lol

[SideShowJoe]

Great! More stuff i get to spend my money on :)

Great Xm more stuff I want and need but won't be able to afford!

Were saving for new house addition and will have a baby or two by 2016!! Damn myself for trying to cut back on collecting spending to be responsible!!

I think once the baby comes I will have to not come to these forums for 3-5 years or else I'm going to try and sell a kidney or two!! None of those would be mine of course!!

[actionjackson83]

I wonder how tall a 1/6 sentinel will be lol... should look epic!

I was showing the line art of colossus vs sentinel , so it obvious the two sold in a set is colossus abs sentinel.
Not everyone will buy the whole set , so each character will have a base to be display on it own , if you buy he whole set , then you have the option to take your character and put in on the colossus vs sentinel to form the battle scene.

[Marcel54]

I wonder how tall a 1/6 sentinel will be lol... should look epic!

According to XM they gonna be around 1 meter. That is 3+ feet.:buttrock::thumbs2:

[Viper245]

Outstanding XM!! You guys continue to amaze! So the Sentinel is gonna be 1 meter tall? That's approx. 39 inches! These dios are going to be massive even at 1/6 scale!

Anybody got a barn for sale? I am gonna need that much space for my collection after I get done buying what XM is dishing out. :laugh:

[AC_808]

Damn! I'm really impressed by the concept art. The Sentinel's pose is very menacing ...and Colossus is going for broke. And the other X-Men are in full battle mode. If the individual statues are up to par with XM standards, then this dio will be epic indeed!

[Atheris]

Soo sick!

Will likely get this.

Chris

[actionjackson83]

lol I doubt this particular part of the Diorama will be 3 FT tall, he's hunched over, so probably more like 25" if you include top of nightcrawler.

[Marcel54]

lol I doubt this particular part of the Diorama will be 3 FT tall, he's hunched over, so probably more like 25" if you include top of nightcrawler.

Let's hope so, otherwise I would not know how and where to place this dio.

[Thor57]

Great idea. I dont know if I personally will be able to have the money allocated for it, due to the shipping costs, but it will surely make for a nice set up!

Colossus in that art is so badass!! cant wait to know more info on this line :)

So actually 14 pieces in all.
For the 12 I'd like to see -
1. Cyclops
2. Jean Grey/Phoenix (if it's Phoenix, maybe a swap-out Dark version -- I know it doesn't make sense in context, but so what)
3. Archangel (swap-out blue/white Angel--I'd get two of these)
4. Beast
5. Iceman
6. Havok (fallen Polaris in base as a way to sneak in one of my favorites)
7. Storm
8. X-23
9. Wolverine (Mr. Inevitable)
10. Colossus
11. Nightcrawler
12. Gambit

That of course leaves out Rogue as a main player. As well as Psylocke. Personally I think there are enough Wolverines floating around, but too big of a seller to ignore. My guess would be Havok and/or Beast would end up on the bubble. Of those two I'd bounce Beast only because Havok (and Polaris) are two of my favorite X-Men, but Beast is an original player and more visually interesting. Would be nice to get a list so I can start planning for this monster.

This project will run till 2016 , so collectors have lot of times to save up
Save. Sell. Whatever it takes. I want. :drooling:

Damn! I'm really impressed by the concept art. The Sentinel's pose is very menacing ...and Colossus is going for broke. And the other X-Men are in full battle mode. If the individual statues are up to par with XM standards, then this dio will be epic indeed!
The style of the 1:4 as opposed to the slightly cartoony look of the 1:6 Loki and Thor that have been shown.

[jfyahui]

Looks good!I'm not into 1/6scale,but I might have to get this...:)

[ReplicantSavior]

This display will be huge. I think XM really needs to give us collectors in the States a big Christmas present and get a contract for releasing at least variants here.

[toe]

I'm in!!! Best Sentinel yet ...and its not even sculpted yet lol. I like how XM is pushing the envelop.

[gomur]

Oh wow. If someone only bought Colossus and formed the entire Sentinel, then this would be the most epic showdown for one Piotr Rasputin! :cool:

This is an ambitious design and I cannot wait to see it realized. However, the funds required - plus my preexisting 1/6 scale collection - means I'll have to admire these pieces from afar. Of course that might all change when the 3D models start rolling out!

[Remember Me?]

Okay...first I was selling off my 1/6 collection to go into 1/4...now I am going to head back to 1/6...DAMNIT!!!!

YES PLEASE!!! This is going to become a centerpiece for my home, this is such an amazing diorama!

This project will run till 2016 , so collectors have lot of times to save up

Can you please give us an estimate on price/weight/size so that we can figure out budget for this epicness? This might be my sole purchase now for the year so I need to know what I need to save up.


O M G!!! I think I'm going to pass out!!

OMG :drooling::vortex::drooling:

[Remember Me?]

Please XM...make one for the X-Force (New or old...I don't care)!

[One Above All]

how much will each 1/6 statue cost?

[Spidey976]

First of all this is EPIC!!! Second of all...

Yes we are looking into this . We should allocated a certain ES to be PO as a set. So collectors that want the whole set need not worry about not able to get every pieces.

Okay THIS is so darn important it isn't funny. This will most likely outsell just about everything as one of the most impresive statues EVER, and the race will be crazy to get them all.

[nexus]

I'm looking forward to seeing the whole dio in its epic 3D glory. I'd put my pre-order and deposit in for the whole shebang right then and there. And then head off and start selling off pieces. Hopefully we're able to see the full piece as a render as opposed to a gradual assembling like a puzzle. I know that's the way most companies would handle it -- teasing and soliciting a new piece every couple of months. The thing that tends to tick me off about the piece-at-a-time is that sometimes some pieces are never released due to low sales or some other reason, or producers will get lazy, sloppy or cheap on later pieces and there are always one or two letdowns. I'd prefer to see the whole vision before making that huge of a commitment. Fortunately XM has proven to be a different type of producer that listens to its customers more than most. They don't have to worry about building anticipation. This would be like "BAM! here ya go". Not to mention I would think the dio will need to be designed and digi-sculpted well in advance because it has to be engineered to assemble. So we'd not only have a final design but final dimensions. Then the only question will be, how many of the characters do you want and where to send the money.

[jye318]

Forget it how much is each. Let's talk about how much is them all, at least we have to know how much to save up.

[The Mule]

I'm also thinking that the Sentinel can easily be displayed with 1/4 pieces

[Sharkey]

You said it nexus!

[SurlyJ]

This is going to be epic in quality, uniqueness, display and COST!

[Marcel54]

I sure hope XM has an European distributor in place by pre ordering time. That would make shipping (and cost) much easier.

[KevinK]

This line seems to be getting a lot more positive feedback then the 1/6 avengers line coming out. I'm excited to see how that line develops as well, but I can see why some are turned off by the more 'cartoony' approach to the art. Hopefully this take the more traditional art approach as in their 1/4 line.

What I'm also curious about is how this will effect everyone's buying decisions. I'm speaking more to the people that have stayed within the 1/4 or 1/6 scale. As someone who owns only 1/6, I'm very close to being swayed to pulling the trigger on my first 1/4 statue....mostly because of how great the XM statues are turning out.
But now that I see this line is coming out, I'm thinking I may let the 1/4 go and just stay within the scale that I already own. If this line is as impressive as their 1/4 line then I'll be a very happy guy.
So how about you? How does this affect your buying decision for next yr? Are you a 1/4 or 1/6 only collector? Planning to make changes to your scale?
Do share :)

[cannonlocke]

Pretty ambitious but darn great concept. Some other company (I can't remember) or someone who wanted to commission had the same concept in mind but didn't materialize.

Anyway, I'm eager to see this progress... would be nice if XM announces who will be in it or what era. Personally tired of the 90s team... Bowen, SS seems everyone has done them. Give me a classic line-up... weren't there 14 X-Men in Giant Size X-Men #1? So how about a bonus 2 characters for everyone who will order both set at once?

Cyclops
Jean Grey
Iceman
Angel
Beast
Polaris
Havok
Storm
Banshee
Wolverine
Nightcrawler
Colossus
Sunfire
Thunderbird

Or better yet, make 3 sets and add in Rogue, Professor X, Kitty and Rachel Summer FTW! and you have the classic team all the way to the Paul Smith era. 3 Sentinels, 18 X-Men.

A fan boy can dream :-)

[cannonlocke]

Anyone else think that Colossus just won't look good on it's own when it's facing a wall of a Sentinel foot? Not sure how anyone would display that.

[riteguytu]

I only have 1/6th stuff right now (and a mix of 1/8th and 1/7th figures), but will be getting my first 1/4th pieces next year in the form of XM's X-men statues (Mags, Jean, Logan so far...). I have preferred the 1/6th for space constraints and just more in my budget and with the characters I want, but XM is swaying me with the 1/4th stuff.

Anyone else think that Colossus just won't look good on it's own when it's facing a wall of a Sentinel foot? Not sure how anyone would display that.

You could pose it against the wall of your case/shelf, or use it as a bookend. I think it would be fine displayed alone. The ones I would somewhat question would be getting any of the center pieces alone.

I thought the one circled as Illyana was Gambit, staff and trench coat.

I think that female firing the gun is supposed to be Domino.

http://i61.tinypic.com/27xie77.jpg

[gomur]

I'm pretty sure that's Gambit and Rogue. Rogue appears to be pulling some wiring out of the Sentinel.

[Remember Me?]

That's X-23.

[gomur]

That's X-23.

X-23 is at the head, yes. I'm talking about the character next to Gambit. I think she's Rogue pulling wires out of the forearm.

It's an interesting assortment of characters. I would guess another Jim Lee era piece, but X-23 throws a wrench in that equation. Very interested to see how XM proceeds with the costumes and if they will add their own flair as they have with the 1/4 scale pieces.

I agree, I'll be all over this as long as the look is not "cartoony" like the Avengers 1/6 scale we've seen so far. I'm definitely interested in seeing and knowing more about the plans XM has for this...

[Remember Me?]

It would be cool if Set A and Set B can inter-connect together. Let's see how much the set cost before we jump ahead of ourselves.

Have a 70's/80s Version Classic, Option!

Arch Angle, Rogue, Gambit, Beast, Colossus, Cyclops



Just a thought:drooling::drooling:

Fudge!!! I'm going to have to move my computer desk out of the display room if this looks as good as it is sounding right now and knowing how XM operates I bet it will be kicka$$.

Damn you XM...you are too good! :banghead:

[nexus]

In all the excitement of the day, I just realized we haven't seen Set B. Definitely interested in how the Sentinel will be posed and who will be the lineup. I'd guess Cyclops, Jean /Phoenix, Iceman, Storm and Wolverine. I'd love to see Beast, Psylocke, Polaris and Havok as well. Maybe Kotobukiya will make DR Beast, Havok and Polaris.

This thing looks and sounds so amazing. It is something I will have to pass on though. I just dont have room for something like this.

I will still look forward to the reveals as this is a good bet of being out of this world

[AC_808]

In all the excitement of the day, I just realized we haven't seen Set B. Definitely interested in how the Sentinel will be posed and who will be the lineup. I'd guess Cyclops, Jean /Phoenix, Iceman, Storm and Wolverine. I'd love to see Beast, Psylocke, Polaris and Havok as well. Maybe Kotobukiya will make DR Beast, Havok and Polaris.

I'm thinking its a must to have Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Storm, Beast and Wolverine in set B. For something this epic of a battle royal, they have to be there! They just have to!

Then after set A and set B are done, then characters like Havok, Polaris, Psylocke, Banshee, etc can be "switch out" pieces and with standalone bases that match both dio.

[SideShowJoe]

Ok since I don't know all the real characters real badness and I don't want to go Google them anyone that can type them out for me I will buy you virtual pint!!

I'm not too into 1/5 or 1/6 but you all know this is going to look too epic to pass up even though it's 1:6! Maybe I'll just get sentinel and Collosus first then try to aquire the others and piece then one by one! Have feeling this may be too rich for my blood, but if you can afford it this is shaping up to be one of coolest dioramas ever!!! ;)

[DynamicMenace]

curious to see how this all turns out.

Oops only put five on my Set B list. Yes, Beast would fill that sixth slot. Standalone additional characters to swap out or add to the dio is a great idea.

[SONICobra]

this looks like its going to be incredible, very much looking forward to seeing how this progress'

[XM STUDIOS]

We will make this the best 1/6 scale diorama to date.

[Viper245]

The more I read about XM's plan for this line, the more I feel like I need to at least try and pick up a few pieces from it when they become available. Getting an entire A or B diorama might be out of the picture due to price and available space but I will make that determination when XM reveals more details.

We will make this the best 1/6 scale diorama to date.

:buttrock::buttrock:

[wolf-brother]

We will make this the best 1/6 scale diorama to date.

No doubt. :thumbs2:

[Webb]

What do you guys think about the price ? 2K ?

[Hellsbells51]

I will be paying close attention to this for sure! I don't know about it beating the X-Men dio #1 Colossus...that is the best looking Colossus statue out there! Overall as a diorama XM might top it, but to me the Sideshow Colossus (not Cyclops) is perfection!

[SONICobra]

I wonder if juggernaut will fit in stylistically with the rest of the statues in this diorama...

[I and I]

Will follow this..... normal getting out of marvel ... but this ... darn nice project.

[supermn619]

Will Erick be doing any of the sculpting?!?!?

[One Above All]

I want to see the Colosus

[Hellsbells51]

Great Xm more stuff I want and need but won't be able to afford!

Were saving for new house addition and will have a baby or two by 2016!! Damn myself for trying to cut back on collecting spending to be responsible!!

I think once the baby comes I will have to not come to these forums for 3-5 years or else I'm going to try and sell a kidney or two!! None of those would be mine of course!!

Sarah Joe

Try having four boys while collecting these...lol! Not to mention paying mortgage on a California home along with all the other crazy Cali expenses. :vortex:

On another note, I wonder if these would mix well with the Sideshow Sentinels? Head to toe on the XM is approx. 39" and Sideshow's are 32"...probably not, but the XM ones are hunched over...so maybe?

[Hellsbells51]

So to be clear...

1) Will the character design be similar to the 1:6 Avengers Assemble? Meaning, will they look like animated cartoon design? Or like they were ripped off the pages of a comic?

2) Any special features being considered like lighting, Augmented Reality, etc.

[XM STUDIOS]

They will be more towards the classic comics . We have yet to work on the cost but I thinking it around $375-$400 sgd (with tax) price range for the individual characters . Colossus with sentinel will definitely cost more. Packaging will be much smaller so shipping cost will also goes down . Will update everyone when the actual pricing is out. We are still working on any extra to come along with the statue .

[toe]

I will be paying close attention to this for sure! I don't know about it beating the X-Men dio #1 Colossus...that is the best looking Colossus statue out there! Overall as a diorama XM might top it, but to me the Sideshow Colossus (not Cyclops) is perfection!

For me would be the Kotobukiya Colossus

[toe]

Any news on a solo Sentinel statue?

[Grifterr]

I hope a Magneto and brown wolvie can be added to this diorama.

[The Mule]

No Colossus is a true Colossus without the chrome/metallic finish imho, that' why I can't stand Sideshow's offerings when it comes to Colossus and Iron Man. They can't nail the damned metallic finish properly, it's unsettling.

[rhy]

Love the concept. Can't wait to see samples.
Hopefully, you guys will consider a COH for Arch Angel, preferably Apocylaypse's horsemen.

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080504093548/marveldatabase/images/b/b2/Warren_Worthington_III_(Earth-616)_0008.jpg

While not comic accurate, AA never battled a Sentinel as Death, still would be a pretty cool sight. Also please don't forget Havok.

[immortalblade]

For further clarity :D

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn317/riteguytu/10805587_1476961119191249_4866276938896706958_n_zps06ef9a53.jpg

Judging by that concept pic, when XM Studios said that the sentinel will be about 1 meter, they may actually mean the statue will be 1 meter tall hunched over. It'll be epic considering large 1/6 scale statues are about 15-17 inches with base.

[immortalblade]

It would be cool if Set A and Set B can inter-connect together. Let's see how much the set cost before we jump ahead of ourselves.

It doesn't matter about the cost because it's epic. This display diorama will be the center piece of all collections. Dream realized.

[immortalblade]

What do you guys think about the price ? 2K ?

It's going to be:
12 X-men @ $300 + $100 shipping = $4800
2 sentinels @ $700 + $300 shipping = $2000

Grand total $6800 give or take a few 100s.

Pricey? Outrageous. But this is the one to rule them all.

I haven't purchased anything from the other company lately, and it looks like all of my money is going to XM Studios. Creativity, quality control, and giving a darn about their products is why XM is getting my money now. OK, so I'm still going to buy the occasional PCS, but not a completist.

Being from Europe I wouldn't calculate shipping yet, because hopefully XM will have a distributor in place by then. So I am counting on about 2000 euros per set, that is a lot of money but given what you get (in statues and quality) it isn't that expensive. I have a whole year to safe up my money and no other pre orders for me coming year. Hopefully a payment plan could help out a bit as well :praying:

[Formula009]

I hope the sentinel comes with pieces to hide the places where you would attach the all the X-Men, in the event you can't get the whole set, it would be nice to display the sentinel with the X-men you want (or have) without it looking like your obviously missing pieces.

Regardless this is going to be epic .... now who do I have to sleep with to secure an order ;)

If that's X-23, no offense to her fans, but she shouldn't be in that diorama if they are going for old school comics.

Shadowcat phasing and ripping would be cool.

X-23's inclusion does beg for a more modern line-up. And Nightcrawler doesn't belong to the Blue or Gold teams. However, the diorama might simply be an "all-star" line-up of mutant favorites.

I keep wanting to flat-out say 'NO' to this diorama but I just can't hide my interest. The Sentinel alone is a 1/6 scale wonder!

dont go too crazy on the ES XM. not many people will be able to have space for 12 statues all together.

I'd buy a great looking Sentinel. I can't see myself buying the complete set though. I'd but a Magneto or Juggernaut fighting the Sentinel easily.

[majestic1]

Yep i agree, hoping XM has spare pieces of the Sentinel armor to slot in to hide the peg holes for each character that people want to skip/cant afford.

[actionjackson83]

I do hope it's a mix of old school/new school all star class. gotta have Psylocke though!

[majestic1]

I cant tell from the art where the Sentinels legs are positioned but I think it would be cool to have one of its legs sheared off with a load of cables hanging out, kinda like the Sentinel is dragging itself along while attacking, maybe have Wolverine positioned on the other intact leg trying to cut it off.

[yeek]

Yeah, I hope you can pick and choose who you want and there won't be a noticeable "gap/hole" if you decide to skip a character. I'm like a few others, I don't want X-23 in mine.

[KevinK]

Very cool idea indeed.

I agree with a few that have already mentioned that hiding the pegs/holes where the missing characters are will be key. It'll give collectors the confidence to start with sentinel and not worry about having to have all of them to have a nice set up.

Hopefully the Koto danger room pieces will compliment this line.

[The Mule]

Hiding the peg holes should be extremely easy

[Remember Me?]

Hiding the peg holes should be extremely easy

Yup...just make something like a cap to go over it.

night crawler
X-23
Angel
Colossus
Rogue
Gambit

- SET A BATTLE SCENE:
Cyclops
Jean Grey
Storm
Wolverine
The Beast

Like me these characters who are based on the classic comics.

I would like some designs and sculptures similar to those made bowen in each of these characters.

Also remember these pieces will be spread out over a longer time, not all at once. XM knows that would be business suicide.

[Sharkey]

HAHA, same here.

Also, I do not care about it being specific teams/periods really. I just want an awesome statue diorama of some of my favorite X-men/mutants!

Speaking of which, how sick would it be to have Iceman freezing over a section of the sentinel from atop his ice path?!

[wolf-brother]

Good call Lawn. I can start with the set B and build from there as I see fit. I'm in. :buttrock:

[cannonlocke]

We better be clear about what we define as classic. My classic dates back to the 70s/80s era and I'm only 33. I figured a lot of younger fans associate classic to the Jim Lee era.

Anyway, the choice of characters will make or break this set for me. If they follow a comic themed/era specific team, I'll be more inclined to buy but throwing in random x-characters from different era/timeline, probably not.

[toe]

yup. i agree. I say make it X-Force theme during the Clayton Crain saga

[wolf-brother]

C'mon guys, you know XM will make this so good it will be really really hard to resist even if it's not your preferred X- Men. :)

[nexus]

My guess is the character designs will come out of the Jim Lee era because in many respects that's what most people are familiar with due to the 90s cartoon (20 years ago). Those designs might be tweaked to feel a little more modern with texturing and accents to the costumes similar to Magneto, and/or slightly toned down colors. That's the approach that would work best for me (I'd take a Jim Lee Cyclops without the bright yellow underoos). The costumes have gone through so many design changes over the years, and everybody has their favorite periods from Kirby... to Adams... to C0ckrum/Byrne... to Jim Lee ... to Joe Madieura... to Frank Quitely... to modern. I'd think they'd want to stick with something that will be somewhat timeless and easily recognizable. You can't please all the people all the time (I probably won't get a swap-out feather wing Angel), so you try to please most of the people some of the time.

[Snadinator]

Will the sentinel be solid cast? Would weigh over 100lbs.

[wolf-brother]

Will the sentinel be solid cast? Would weigh over 100lbs.

How about that! That never crossed my mind.

Since this is a different line XM will not have to stick to the caveats of their 1:4 premium collectible line, like solid casts. I don't think I want a 100lb Sentinel. It would be a shipping and display nightmare.

I have faith they will get it right. :praying: :laugh:

[SONICobra]

yup. i agree. I say make it X-Force theme during the Clayton Crain saga

if this or an uncanny x-force dio ever happened I might have to break my "1/4 scale only" rule

Thanks for the response! Very comforting answers, yet it brings up a few more questions:

1) Define "classic" because this is classic to me:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/ClassicXmen01.jpg/250px-ClassicXmen01.jpg

2) Will the group be random X-Men characters? Or an actually core group from the comics?

Seeing (what looks like) X-23, doesn't seem classic to me….

Great idea, I'm glad to hear it's not anime as well. I'm with the group that want to be able to get a stand alone Sentinel.

Same here, glad it's not anime style like the Avengers 1:6 statues. That would have probably ruined it for me.

[Hellsbells51]

Exactly, "classic" is a general term, but IMO this is how I would break it down:

- 60's & 70's = retro
- 80's = Classic (Classic X-Men/Uncanny X-Men)
- 90's = modern (Jim Lee era)
- 2000's+ = present

Well, something along those lines.

I'm 35, so as a kid the 80's X-Men was what I grew up on…I consider the 90's Jim Lee era "my" X-Men as I collected those comics as a teen so I actually read them and watched the cartoons.

Interesting.....about psylocke, if it's the "classic" version are we talking about the pink costume, British (non-ninja) version or are we dealing with the Jim Lee Asian ninja version that most of us are familiar with?

Also if it's the ninja version, with or without the "classic" armor?

[ShiftyScarecrow]

I'll take a sentinel with Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Tien, Picolo, and Gohan.

[King4aday04]

Hi can someone here with good comics knowledge list out the characters (xm and brotherhood ) that we can used for this project . All will be in classic costume .

Off the top of my head

60's - Cyclops , Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Beast, Angel,
Iceman, Professor X, Havok, Polaris.
Brotherhood - Magneto, Mastermind, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Toad, Blob, Unus the Untouchable.

70's - Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Banshee, Sunfire, Thunderbird, Jean Grey (Phoenix), Angel, Beast, Havok, Polaris, Professor X.

80's - Cyclops. Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Banshee, Jean Grey (Phoenix), Angel, Beast?, Havok, Polaris?, Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), Dazzler, Forge, Longshot, Psylocke, Rogue, Rachel Summers (Phoenix), Jubilee.
Brotherhood - Mystique, Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, Destiny , Rogue.

Early 90's - Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, Rogue, Jubilee, Psylocke, Storm, Jean Grey, Colossus, Archangel, Iceman, Bishop, Banshee, Forge, Xavier.
Brotherhood - Toad, Blob, Pyro, Phantazia, Sauron.

Of course there is some overlap as the decades begin but I think that's close to covering it :eek:

:vortex:

[King4aday04]

Having said that I would hope that Iceman and Havok might play some part in the diorama even as complimentary pieces after the initial release.

Also will someone like Angel have a variant as Archangel? or will it be created in such away that interchangeable parts will be used ( i.e. Angel in blue costume with both feathered and metallic wings, skin tone and blue tone faces?

[dino76m]

well. i wanted a 1/6 scale marvel line up, was collecting the Bowen Avengers and X force, was disappointed they have nearly stopped before i could start X men, but this now looks interesting... can skip the SS Sentinel as well.

i can skip SS galactus as well :D

Sorry, I just see so many writing it as Rouge, it gets annoying.

End rant. Please continue.

[kevin2323]

we already have a 1/4 cable so unlike will make another 1/6 so soon

well you cant really think like that. (you actually can because it's your company lol) but my point is you need to see what fits the diorama best. especially if you go with a certain era.

even if magneto and cable are there, you should include them if they make the diorama epic and complete. you will most likely have wolverine right? you just made a 1/4 wolvie and are making a brown suit later on. im sure he is part of the dio because he makes it epic.


what i would personally do for it not to affect business profit is release it towards the end of the release. (maybe end of 2016.)

[nexus]

Hi can someone here with good comics knowledge list out the characters (xm and brotherhood ) that we can used for this project . All will be in classic costume .

To be honest I'd lose some interest if Set B ends up being Brotherhood because you'd be bumping a bunch of popular heroes. Not to mention even if you only slotted in a couple of villains, they wouldn't typically fight side-by-side with the X-Men so it would look a bit odd.

If set A and B with the core X-team ends up being as popular as hoped, there's no reason why the line shouldn't continue to expand.

Here's my recommended list:

SET A (I think these are the confirmed characters in the sketch)
Colossus
Nightcrawler
Archangel (please have an Angel swap-out)
Rogue
Gambit
X-23

SET B (probably the most logical lineup)
Cyclops
Jean Grey (or Phoenix)
Storm
Iceman
Beast
Wolverine

EXPANSION PIECES (maybe you can design either bonus add-ons to supplement or a mini dio)
Psylocke
Jubilee
Havok
Polaris

Hi can someone here with good comics knowledge list out the characters (xm and brotherhood ) that we can used for this project . All will be in classic costume .

currently we have wolverine ,beast , storm , sabretooth, pyslocke,cyclops , angel ,night crawler ,gambit , rogue , x 23 and colossus

"Classic" depends on which era you want. I assume that if you are using Gambit, you'd want Rogue in her Jim Lee design. Therefore putting Psylocke in her Jim Lee design would be awesome as well.

The addition of X-23 is really throwing me off on that list since she isn't exactly "classic". Madly popular and relativly new to the X-Men lore -- yes. Classic -- no. Plus do we really need two characters with claws?

Characters I would love to see --

In the Lee style costume:
Jean
Cyclops
Iceman
Jubilee
Bishop
Mystique

In any costume:
Shadowcat/Kitty Pride
Polaris
Juggernaut
Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver


BTW I'm not sure if there will be a diorama of evil vs good, but if it is -- I think it would be a really cool touch, and a HUGE call out to real comic fans if you had Psylocke face off against Sabertooth.

[khrisc]

i vote for this to be in the Jim Lee era costume..i think is the most recognized costume of the Xmen :)

This is one of the questions asked to enter Nerd Heaven. :)

If you're aiming for classic costumes, X-23 takes us out of the classic vibe completely. I don't mind X-23 but she comes much later. I'd substitute Sabretooth with a more classic X-Man (Iceman, Jean) . Both times Sabretooth lived with the X-Men were not standard membership (1st time they tried to rehab him, ended badly, 2nd time he was pretty much their slave until he found the chance to escape them)

[actionjackson83]

Pretty much perfect, I would remove Sabretooth and X23 and put in Jubilee & Jean Grey, add Ice Man and you'd pretty much have all of blue & Gold team with Jim Lee era costumes for the ultimate 90s childhood dream come true! You can fit in iceman with Rogue maybe have him down on his knees like he's hurt and Rogue touching him on his shoulder while firing the ice beam!

[risingstar]

The Byrne era and Jim Lee era would make for interesting concepts. Is there an issue with using the same character twice? Poses and costumes could be different.

Wow! What an awesome job detailing out the X-Men roster over the years. My particular favorite was the late 80's lineup - followed closely by the early 90's teams. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I'm of the same mind aj.

This is a great line up to make a great dio but just needs two adjustments.

Nix Sabertooth and X-23 put in Iceman and Jean Grey.They were core members of the X-Men. :thumbs2:

[khrisc]

i agree! Iceman and Jean Grey please! :)

[DaviDPereira]

Awesome!! can't wait to see the Diorama!

[kevin2323]

i agree! Iceman and Jean Grey please! :)

yep just because they made it in 1/4th doesnt mean it shouldnt be included in 1/6 in diorama form.


worst case....make those pieces last

[Marvelito]

Nix Sabertooth and X-23 put in Iceman and Jean Grey.They were core members of the X-Men. :thumbs2:

^ If you do this that's your Jim Lee Blue and Gold teams right there. I'm fine with that. :) You could also mix it up a bit and add Cable and Bishop.

My dream would be a classic 80's Byrne era team with a classic Sentinel. Team would include Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Kitty Pryde.

[yeek]

I think overall people aren't keen on the X-23 since she isn't in that era.

Now if you decide to make a new school X-Force dio sometime -- she will fit right in :)

[nexus]

Lineup is strong, but Sabretooth is out of place. And while I personally like the idea of including X-23, Jean Grey and Iceman make more sense. I do like including Psylocke because she's one of my favorite X-women.

I think once Set A and Set B are completed, expansion sets will be the way to get extra characters like Havok, Polaris, Jubilee, Kitty and the Brotherhood.

Seconded. I really hate the old style stuff. I know that the 90s xmen were 'my xmen' but bias aside those early costumes looked bad imo.

[AC_808]

Yes! Jim Lee era, please!

I believe I had already requested Iceman and Jean over Sabretooth and X-23 in my original post, but I'm glad we're all thinking the same.

Sabretooth actually kind of fits the 90s roster since the X-Men were trying to rehab him at the time, but including him as if he were a full member is still awkward. I'd leave him out.

X-23 just doesn't belong.

I LOVE the Cockrum/Byrne era roster but the 90s team encompasses characters from every major era of X-Men. The originals, the All New X-Men, and later...all the majors except Nigjtcrawler, Kitty and Havok were there. Ultimately it's the best and most well known line up to go with.

[cannonlocke]

Will the sentinel/s be separate pieces? I thought they will be made with Sentinel bases that connect to form the big Sentinel.

[kevin2323]

Will the sentinel/s be separate pieces? I thought they will be made with Sentinel bases that connect to form the big Sentinel.

I believe the sentinels will be on their own and the centerpieces

[High Lord Apocalypse]

colossus' base seems to be too small (not enough of the sentinel) or else angels piece of the sentinel would be massive. im just guessing here.

[wolf-brother]

Let me get this straight.

Isn't the plan for the first piece of set B to be Colossus and the entire Sentinel and the additional X-men will fit on the Sentinel and come with their own display base for separate display?

"Hi everyone here is the new project that we working on . We call is X Men Alliance . They are sold separately and can be pieces together to form a big diorama set.
There are a total of 12 characters and 2 sentinel forming this massive battle scene diorama. With Set A consisting of 6 character and a sentinel and same for set B .They are of 1/6 scale so expect the sentinel to be big at around 1metre( from head to toe).
The first images you can see the line art design for the Set B battle scene.
Here is our first design that is approved colossus VS sentinel. These 2 are sold in a set . Comments and feedback are welcome.
Each character will comes with their own base for individual display and when forming the battle scene they can be placed in it ."

[SONICobra]

id like to see x23 done in 1/4 scale... so maybe swap her out for a more classic character?

[Rasp Lame]

I strongly agree with this! Replace X-23 and Sabretooth with Jean and Ice-Man.

And these 12 X-Men should be the core characters for these 2 dios.
Cyclops
Jean

That's the definitive set there. I definitely think it needs to be 90s era forwards but maybe costumes post Messiah Complex, like what they are wearing in Uncanny X-Men #500. Kotobukiya have done a great job on the 1/6 scale Jim Lee X-Men. It would be nice if this was different.


http://www.recalledcomics.com/X-Men500.jpg

[I and I]

I like X-23 being a part of this.:penguin:

[Hellsbells51]

90`s Jim Lee era is my favorite, however, I would like to see an 80`s Uncanny X-Men for something different. Then again, how could I pass up a 90`s theme X-Men dio!? Plus the Sentinels look to be more modern looking so it`s only fitting that it be 90`s and above.

[Hellsbells51]

This is the two ideal teams IMO (well Iceman without hair is preferred):

I'd agree, but the set will include Nightcrawler as already shown, so that would likely put Bishop and Jubilee out. But that's why I'd want expansion sets.

[AC_808]

Right, NightCrawler in place of Bishop at the start. Jubilee is out initially because she makes 13. Then Bishop and Jubilee are made right after set A and set B are released. Everybody wins!

[majestic1]

The X-men arcade game from the early 90's was my first introduction to these characters so I vote for this look.

Yes to this.

No to Sabretooth (99% of the time a villain).

Maybe to X-23 and Nightcrawler (different era and X-team).

Okay, yes to Nightcrawler (because it's freakin' Kurt Wagner).

If these pieces are meant to display individually as well as within the diorama, I'm very excited to see them solo as well. Some nice dynamic poses for Gambit and Nightcrawler.

[Bartholomew]

Why is x23 even in this? I dont associate her with anything classic. Ans Sabretooth was on the team for a split second during the 90s and for a couple seconds during mike carey's run. But the teams didnt look like this during that time so he also looks out of place.


No Jean, no buy.

[Remember Me?]

As for Pyslocke, I would rather prefer her to be 1/4 than 1/6. So given the choice...1/4 plz!

80's Byrne era for me. My favorite time as a x-men fan. But the lineup you guys have suggested is perfect. Replace x-23 and sabertooth with Jean and Bobby and it's good to go.

[AC_808]

Right on, Yeek! Love the support for the core group, brother!

[jansen]

Oh man, I might buy the set and sleep on the gutter.

[majestic1]

I've adding my support to this project but in reality I know I simply do not have the space to display this, I would need the area of a good sized coffee table to display a 1:6 scale Sentinel and all 6 characters.

Based on the measurements given, you are going to need more than a good size coffee table. You are going to need the freaking living room!!!

[SolidLiquidFox]

Ideally you would have to make 24 figures total. An expansion pack figure would be designed to fit in the diorama instead of one of the main 12. Probably with a similar pose.

Without question the main 12 should be:

1. Cyclops
2. Jean Grey
3. Wolverine
4. Gambit
5. Rogue
6. Beast
7. Colossus
8. Iceman
9. Angel
10. Storm
11. Nightcrawler
12. Shadowcat

Expansion packs posed similar to fit in place of the main 12:

1. Havok (replaces Cyclops)
2. Polaris (replaces Jean Grey)
3. Cable (replaces Wolverine)
4. Longshot (replaces Gambit)
5. Dazzler (replaces Rogue)
6. Sabretooth (replaces Beast)
7. Thunderbird (replaces Colossus)
8. Jubilee (replaces Iceman)
9. Archangel (replaces Angel)
10. Banshee (replaces Storm)
11. Psylocke (replaces Nightcrawler)
12. Bishop (replaces Shadowcat)

[AC_808]

Cyclops
Jean Grey

Rogue
Beast

Expansion packs:

Banshee
Havok
Bishop
Jubilee
Cable
Longshot
Dazzler
Polaris


Most of us agree on this ...hoping XM does too. Oh, I added Polaris to your expansion packs.

[majestic1]

Hope XM does Archangel, I know that Angel is a classic member but I've just never been a fan of him, also there's not much damage Angel can do to a huge Sentinel other than fly around it's head to distract it.

Archangel on the other hand is a bad-ass that can do a lot of damage.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Most of us agree on this ...hoping XM does too. Oh, I added Polaris to your expansion packs.

good point...altered my original list

pretty hard to come up with the best way to execute this but I gave it a shot :banghead:

[gomur]

Beyond the Blue and Gold teams, I can certainly see polls being conducted to decide on "expansion characters".

While I wouldn't mind collecting an entire team of X-Force, X-Factor, and Excalibur, I know most collectors would only be interested in 2-3 members of each team (Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Havok, Polaris, etc)

That settles it, I am going to have to find a way to get one of these full sets. Probably set B from the looks of it at this juncture. It's gonna be darn expensive but I suspect these will be the definitive X-MEN dios to own. Dare I say even better than Sideshow's grail offering from back in the day. I am really looking forward to more updates from Ben on this line.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well and yes once these are done these will be the definitive x-men Dio to own and yes even better then ss dio and their Dios were always really well done! But this isn't going to see light of day until after 2016, they are going to spend lots of time making sure everything is just right!!! Can't wait to see more about this and pricing too!!

[nexus]

I've already started my set aside fund specifically for these. As soon as things get firmed up a bit in terns of character selection and era I'll probably start selling off nonessential pieces and further build up the kitty. I'm sure once these are shown in final render form folks are going to go absolutely bonkers.

[One Above All]

would be nice to see the WIP Colossus 1/6 statue

:)

[theokan]

If they are adding X-23 then this should be Astonishing era right? Same as the Sideshow X-men vs Sentinel Dio, hopefully they can be displayed together, I want to add a few more X-men to my SSC dios and possibly getting the full Sentinel to go with it too.


--

[Hellboy]

This looks amazing! What an ambitious undertaking. I applaud XM for their ingenuity. That being said I'll need to see way more before committing to something of this caliber. As a HUGE X-Men fan I will say... I'll likely find a way to own this, if it's realistic both in its pricing and availability.

[One Above All]

the Colossus for USD$150+ would be super

:)

[KevinK]

A friend of mine was at XM headquarters a couple of weeks back and took some photos with the owner. She also took some snaps of statues around the shop...one of which was a 1/6 colossus. I don't know if it was being used for inspiration or if it was a painted proto/wip. I wonder if XM would mind if I posted this. I sent them a PM to ask if they would mind if I shared with the group, but have not heard back...out of respect I do not want to post without some sort of ok from them.

XM TEAM - IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THIS FIRST PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU MIND IF I POST THE PIC.
I'm not looking for confirmation if the piece is in fact a working proto, but I think it would give folks something to chat about :)

[KinShin]

Great design but I doubt at 1/6 this will cost less then $250.- $300.

I would love to see battle damage to alternate Display.
I would also like some Nimrod pieces added on the bases.
Maybe some light up on Sentinel
My number 1 wish is Gambit which looks to be in.
Other characters I like to see 1. Polaris 2. Dazzler 3. Blink 4. Iceman 5. Domino 6. Havok

[supermetroid]

I'd only be interest in the 90's Jim Lee versions, but I'm sure it will look great whatever they choose.

They barely made the 1:6 Avengers up to now. This project is still in its early concept phase. 99% that Colossus is a 1:6 Bowen piece or Kotobukiya.

Am I the only one that thinks the head sculpt needs a bit more attitude...? It looks ok, but it reminds me of Erick's Koto version with the clenched teeth. I would love to see more expression on him, like a yelling open-mouthed look. Maybe something like this:

Beyond the Blue and Gold teams, I can certainly see polls being conducted to decide on "expansion characters".

While I wouldn't mind collecting an entire team of X-Force, X-Factor, and Excalibur, I know most collectors would only be interested in 2-3 members of each team (Cable, Domino, Shatterstar, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Havok, Polaris, etc)

This could be awesome!

good call indeed but it still makes no sense to let him take a pic if they didnt want it out.

either way im sure XM will OK it soon anyway.

If it IS their piece it could simply be a matter of forgetting it was there. It has happened to other companies before. You get use to seeing something and just don't think about it.

I'm looking forward to seeing some digital WIPs so I can start selling stuff. All three Sideshow X-Men vs. Sentinel EXs may finally go... or not. That's a tough one.

i thought he said they showed it to him.

either way we need xm to chime in and approve the pic.
