From STGCC ... awesome design.. will match Mysterio!

[frenchyoutoo]

This goblin.. then you got SSC goblin. Who will win? XM aint holding back. Once again taking advantage of SSC slow pace. This looks pretty damn good

[majestic1]

I'm liking the look of this version a lot more than Sideshows so far, this Green Goblin looks much better without a pair of steam-punk flight goggles.

:iagree: better pose and fully sculpted goodness. The face is better imo too.

[The Mule]

They must be confident they can pull the solid smoke paint app. Mysterio, Boba and now this. Hope they can.
And they seem to have an edge over Sideshow with comic accuracy, this time around. Ironic.

[Apetina]

Awesome!! But where is Spider-man concept?!

[VS1976]

Would be interesting to see what ssc new GG would look like.

[Shoo]

From STGCC ... awesome design..

Indeed.

[Bullseye]

Like the look of this one better as its more like the comics which is a change for XM.

[Thor57]

Like the look of this one better as its more like the comics which is a change for XM.

I think they've been pretty even with the comic accuracy.

Magneto was updated a lot, sure. Wolverine was very comic accurate with minor modern details like the boots. Hawkeye, Cap, and Thor are all pretty much comic accurate to the letter. Same with She-Hulk.

I want to see Sideshow's fully before I pull the trigger either way. I need a GG for sure though, don't have one. I have no doubt XM's will likely have better QC, but it will also be more to obtain and a lot more hassle. We'll see.

[wanderlai]

Now that's the Green Goblin I know.

[Thor57]

I'm so opposite of a lot of you lol. One of the things that kept me from paying after market prices on XM's Magento (I'd have paid retail had I got on the boat fast enough) is that he had to look like Jim Lee's classic Eric Lensherr for me to lay down that kind of money. For as great as he looks, 10/10, its just not the Magneto I grew up with, so I couldn't justify laying down the dough.

Green Goblin on the other hand, I don't care. The Spider-Man rogues are 4th or 5th on my list of rogues behind some order of Batman, Thor, X-Men and the Flash. So I kind of dig the artistic liberties taken with the steampunk goggles and flight hood. To each their own.

This one looks great though. I'm a hundred percent confident they'll nail the smoke factor better than we've seen before.

[frenchyoutoo]

Wow good find. Even though usually i wouldnt care but i cant help but feel funny about not being an XM OG art direction. I was thinking that was their biggest strength... even though its still awesome, my view om XM has changed abit

[Mr. Machismo]

Amazing. PO for sure.

[nexus]

I like this Goblin better than the SS. I'll probably pick it up and sell the PF down the road. Panther looks amazing. I'm definitely getting that one, but will also hold onto the PF.

[Peedi]

This is armor from the comics. For me, that is win.

I either wanted the classic costume or the comic book armor for a 1/4 Green Goblin so this is exactly what I wanted.

[majestic1]

Displayed on a higher shelf this would go very well with Sideshow's latest Spidey PF.

Sideshow should reveal their Goblin at Son of Monsterpalooza next week, XM have thrown down the gauntlet with this awesome GG concept art.

[ambasah]

comic version wins every time. so glad xm is doing this.

[vorpoll]

I love what I see, just sad because I wont pay aftermarket price for it.

[Bmutha]

Yeah, I'm liking the looks of this much more than Sideshow's original take. This is based on the modern armour that someone posted above. Hopefully they get the face right...that'll be the key.

[XMAN]

Like the look of this one better as its more like the comics which is a change for XM.

Totally agree......just wish they would take the same path with their classic Ironman....and of course Kraven.

don;t get me wrong...I do get the modern spin....I just like to have my pieces as I remember them......

[Comicbookguy]

Looks nice. I wonder with so many side characters. How long do we have before the prices goes up? I don't these secondary ones move up fast. Look at Ms Marvel and Black Widow and even Wolveine. I may want this but have to wait with so many others I want first like Venom and GR. If we don't po at the show is the chances of po this good at the store or website? The piclooks like Joker as a insanely crazy character, very cool!

No no no noooooooooooo! This is my favourite Goblin moment of all time! Argh! I need to buy this now. Ah crap! How do I get this? I'm in canada! Someone help me!

[SideShowJoe]

:iagree: better pose and fully sculpted goodness. The face is better imo too.

Oh yeah agreed and this may be what I do! Depending on what Xm does with spidey I think this green goblin would really pair up nicely with sideshows Spider-Man what do you guys think ? As of right now though I'm liking this and may have to get him, but first I want to see Spider-Man !!

Sarah

[Screamingstang]

+1 I'm hoping SS can, at least be up to par with GG :dork:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

This is an iconic moment for Norman. He's in the thunderbolts mountain stronghold and there's a bunch of mind controlling telepaths in their prison block. Everything is falling apart. The psycho Nazi Baron has just stabbed a massive cannibal venom and split him in half. A mind controlled Moonstone has just attacked a hulk, Penance is completely losing his mind, and Norman is pissed.

He makes his way to his private vault while blabbering a diluted diatribe about how he's the new saviour and there it is...his goblin costume stashed away. He hops on his glider and makes his way through the tunnels of the mountain massacring his own guards. Completely under the control of the telepaths, he corners the cowering Baron and crucifies him to a wall.

This piece is not meant to be across from anyone. The Goblins massacre of his own caged angels stands alone.

[SideShowJoe]

Nice read I liked it you make that up right now or that from comic? Either way I dug it!! ;)

This thing looks awesome though and looking at boba Fett Fire and mysterio smoke trails I feel the goblin effect will be amazing!!

Sarah

[Sharkey]

hell the ---- yes! I can't wait for this bad boy!

[qz33]

Yes this is some awesome art...

but let's see that sculpt.

[Comicbookguy]

No no no noooooooooooo! This is my favourite Goblin moment of all time! Argh! I need to buy this now. Ah crap! How do I get this? I'm in canada! Someone help me!

pm me bro. :)

[SONICobra]

I prefer this costume look to the orc look ss has going from what we have seen, still not a character that I would spend buco bucks on. excited to see what they come up with none the less

[Peedi]

This piece is not meant to be across from anyone. The Goblins massacre of his own caged angels stands alone.

That might be why this is based on that artwork and not a direct exact pose for pose translation, so it can still work with Spidey and other statues.

[majestic1]

I prefer this costume look to the orc look ss has going from what we have seen..

Yep same here, the SS one so far reminds me of a mischievous goblin from a fantasy fairytale film instead of the psycho Green Goblin from the comics, I also prefer the armor lines on the XM version instead of the textured, warty skin on the SS one.

The thing is though the Sideshow version will be half the price and a lot easier to get than the XM.

http://i61.tinypic.com/2qv9vuw.jpg

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I very much like both. The XM piece is more of the Goblin we know however I do like the nod to the original goblin who had no armour. He used to be exposed like spidey and everyone else.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Nice read I liked it you make that up right now or that from comic? Either way I dug it!! ;)

Sarah

Thanks. This is what happened in the Caged Angels trade.

His best line was "aaaagh. Im so glad I never washed this particular costume. Smells like death blondes and victory". So iconic.

The Goblin is by far my favourite character and this massacre, to me, is his best moment. I have read this trade countless times along with the original Arkham and Killing Joke.

I miss those thunderbolts and dark avengers. The end of the Seige series ruined everything for me!

Actually it will cost over $500 after shipping and taxes. If you live in the approved territories and buy XM GG there, it will cost about $100 more max maybe.

The SS price factor is running out of steam real fast. The price increase for them hasn't stopped btw. You will see further increases in price soon. I wouldn't be surprised to see Green Goblin come in at a good $549 or higher.

:iagree: I can see the SS PF going towards 599.99 soon with the fast price hikes on a PF.

[Sharkey]

I hope with the rise of prices for the 1/4th scale size stuff that we see a resurgence of 1/6th as well.

[loricstone]

Why when Hot Toys and other 12" makers have that market sewn up?

[Sharkey]

Why when Hot Toys and other 12" makers have that market sewn up?

Because I don't do action figures. I only like statues/figures. Only thing I do that has articulation is Gundam model kits, and I would still hop all over some amazing statues and dioramas of them over the model kits.

[built2shred]

There is still a big different between a 1:6 statue and a 1:6 figure

Oh do you collect big japanese model kits?

[Sharkey]

Oh do you collect big japanese model kits?

Mainly the MG (1/100) ones, but only because they haven't made my favorite suits in PG (1/60) yet.

Cool! Must see your pics of your collection in the future. I just started on a few PO from e0246 site.
But as for XM it's so frustrating trying to secure these as far as gurantees.

[Jack's Username]

Sigh. This was my last best hope at a 1/4 scale Goblin. Maybe I'll be more accepting once it's posed and his crouching position hopefully hides the majority of the costume design.

[The Mule]

So, is this a mix of modern (armor plating) and classic (fabric/leather skirt, kneepads and elbow pads)?
I never liked the Green Goblin aesthetically regardless of his iteration. One thing I really like, it's the clear lenses on his eyes, that's some very nice detail.

[GrumpyBear]

Like posted before it looks like they go nearly with this new comic style.

hmmm...not a fan of the design

[grphyx1]

I think everything looks great except for the double layered knee pads and the shoulder treatment. Cool goblin

[RossMcCollector]

I love the head sculpt, but I hope XM changes his midsection, and ditch the armor piece. It just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the costume.

What do you think guys if the costume looked like this, or same material as the gloves and the boots?

How the hell did you do that?

[RossMcCollector]

How the hell did you do that?
W-what are you, a wizard?

Haha..it's just a quick photoshop. It's not perfect by any means or "The ONE" to have, but I just wanted to show different view.

[loricstone]

I would prefer it to be a one piece upper torso piece. Knee pads are fine IMO. Shoulder Pads are fine. It might look better if they change the upper torso armor to a one piece.

[wolf-brother]

Design looks great to me. Will look badass crouched on the glider.

[Peedi]

This costume is exactly from the comics so I'm good with it. I'm not sure if XM took any liberties at all here...this is Modern Comic Book Greeb Goblin. Except his teeth in this render are really ugly for some reason, just my nitpick.

I think most seem to want a really nice classic costume Green Goblin with the familiar scales though and that's just not what ss or XM want to do. I'm all in for this but I'd prefer the classic costume design.

[frenchyoutoo]

If theyre able to pull of clear lenses on the head sculpt to see the eyes underneath then that'll be pretty damn awesome!!

[Bullseye]

I much preferred the design sketch which seems to be the case with most XM pieces for me.

[XMAN]

I much preferred the design sketch which seems to be the case with most XM pieces for me.

I agree....the sketch is what caught my attention....
I'm not saying this doesn't look good ...it just doesn't phase me.....the very same thing happened to the classic Ironman. The initial sketch was perfect.....:dork:

[The Mule]

Gotta say, almost all T-posed raw 3D sculpts really don't do anything for me. Once they get posed and a tad more finalized, it gets usually better. Classic Iron Man had some flaws since the very early 3D wips imho, and they were pointed out immediatly. Got the same impression that something got lost from 2D sketch to 3D sculpt. This time, I think it's just a matter of posing the guy and put him on the glider.

[marker2037]

I like the head sculpt a lot. Looks like they're going in with some finer sculpt details which is nice to see.

But the rest is not really what I'm into. I hate the "Colossus" armor that everyone seems to get these days for a new costume. Looks terrible IMO.

Hoping that SS has the Goblin for me.

[SONICobra]

I like this look of this so far, I wish sideshow had gone more this route than real life goblin

[Kovenor]

Cant wait to see this fully scuplted and painted

[ambasah]

I was hoping for a more classic interpretation.

Neither this nor the SS version are my cup of tea so far. I may go the custom route.

I think this as well.

This is almost the same costume from the sketch. Once they pose it like the sketch it'll look just like the sketch.

Maybe the only thing is tone down the double shoulder pads, looks like they added an extra pair under the normal pair, and the eyes on the mask a bit smaller like the sketch.

[FJC]

I'll wait until we see a printed version of the sculpt before I make any decisions. As for the costume...the eye lenses just don't look very good to me and the costume looks a little too armored up for my tastes. This piece is still very early in the process so who knows what the final product will look like?

[StringKeyRhythm]

Yeah, the chest plate doesn't look right to me. Too much armor.

[Kovenor]

Looks great to me!

I have no problem with it as is...The only thing I can say is...as it is now...his costume looks mighty similar to Colossus armor form, and if XM is able to do Colossus at some point in the near future :praying: aside from the color scheme, they will look similar.

Quite honestly though...that is neither here nor there. I really would like a US Agent and he and Cap have similarities.

Yeah, it is a Colossus type of look. Blame Mike Deodato. This costume was originally Humberto Ramos' design but Deodato redesigned it years later with the Colossus armor look. This costume originally didn't have the Colossus look to it. It was just green cloth.

I'd love an XM Colossus. I like my ss PF well enough but if XM got the abiliy to make X-Men again and kept them either Classic like Phoenix or practical like Magneto's costume changes it might make me drop my ss X-Men PFs. Except Gambit. I'm keeping that Gambit.

[Peedi]

Comic scans:

http://www.chasingamazingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/image28.jpg

It's come up with these multiple Normans on the way, but the mask has built in eye shields...even the teeth are in the mask. But of course being a comic, when he puts it on it emotes with him, not very different from how Spider-Man's mask eyes move with his expressions:

http://www.chasingamazingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/image27.jpg

http://www.chasingamazingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/image29.jpg



Also, artist Mike Deodato also thinks Norman should look like Tommy Lee Jones for some reason, but artistic license and whatnot.


Here's Deodato's original version of this costume, more green, and it's hard to tell here but the "Colossus lines" appear more like ruffled cloth in the actual comic:

@Peedi

Thx for the pictures, now i´m just more in love! :goodpost:

[Jack's Username]

Yeah, thanks for the scans - what an awful design. Wonder where the loincloth inspiration is coming from.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I couldn't be happier that they went with this look. The caged angels trade is one of my top 3 for sure. Exceptional.

[marker2037]

Exactly Peedi. Colossus armor. It's the new thing and it's awful.

And Ramos' run on Spidey was awful IMO. He's fine when it comes to drawing regular static scenes and people and he does have some cool style every now and then, but once action starts he's all over the place with weird body proportions and movements and it's impossible to figure out what you're looking at half the time.

[RossMcCollector]

Neither XM or SSC is offering what I'm looking for, and that's why I'm going with Troy's custom version.

It's a THE classic Green Goblin that I always wanted!!!

[Peedi]

Yeah, thanks for the scans - what an awful design. Wonder where the loincloth inspiration is coming from.

Yeah, that loincloth doesn't belong on this costume, lol. Not sure why they decided to put it here.

Any pics?

[ambasah]

the custom is still a work in progress. But it will stay true to the classic GG we all know and love. He will be on a glider as well : )

[frenchyoutoo]

I feel like the base could be wider and WILDER without that museum base thingy. Too much like SSC spiderman PF base bomb cloud.

[ambasah]

I am not sure about that base. I didn't like it at all on the SS spidey statues. It will be interesting to see how it looks painted.

[AC_808]

I'm thinking the base isn't done, yet. There's still needs to be a smoke trail coming from the glider.

[frenchyoutoo]

Im sure youre right AC 808

Considering how big some other bases have been (and animals) Im sure XM can go ALL OUT with this one!! Its an explosion. Make it big!! Explosive!!

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Just a few pieces I feedback.

The goblin looks great. The explosion looks great. The glider looks great.

Explosion: I disagree with everyone. A massive explosion will be distracting. I do however very much like the idea of a smoke trail. A smoke trail, as opposed to an explosion, will give the piece hight an convey better movement. I can imagine the production looking like he's sitting on top of a big bubble based on currently WIP.

Glider straps: way too big an heavy. The goblin jumps on his glider easily where these look like bindings you'd have on a snowboard. It makes the glider look heavy.

Bomb size: I love the tribute to the original pumpkins. Well done. The bombs are a little too big. They should almost be the size of large apples.

Wings: the glider wings are flat. The goblin glider has diagonal down-pointed wings that allow the goblin to stand more upright. A slight downward angle would go a long way.

Lob: the front hand is to far extended. The way the original caged angels artwork is perfect where his hand is downward ready for the frontward lob.

Hand: consider a possible back switch out hand that also holds a pumpkin. This will further convey kind of a pumpkin barrage versus a single lob.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Last point...the costume looks great. Amazing work on the mask, hat, armour, gloves and boots. Excellent job!

[Bmutha]

This is the best licensed Green Goblin to date (other companies continually miss the mark, imo). There are lots of great details on this piece...I like the pumpkin bomb holster a lot.

The pose is a bit strange from certain angles, but looks good from others. I am not sure if any adjustments can fix that or not.

I am looking forward to seeing this painted.

Pose looks really nice from this angle. I just can't roll with this character design. :bawling:

[toe]

another Goblin on his glider. *sigh*

That's like saying, "another Superman in a cape *sigh*" :laugh:

[SONICobra]

looks pretty good, maybe a little too "compact" if that makes sense but I don't know what else you could do with that. pose looks great, something seems a little strange about the face but cant put my finger on it

[majestic1]

lol...you want Green Goblin without the glider?

That's like saying, "another Superman in a cape *sigh*" :laugh:

I don't think it's that essential, he's not constantly on the glider but I get what you're saying.
I would definitely buy a Green Goblin in a museum pose without the glider, similar to the Bowen version.

http://i66.tinypic.com/nppamp.jpg

[supermetroid]

Looks great! I almost wonder if he'd look better higher in the air and angled level horizontally and tilted slightly forward. That way he'd look great from every angle.

[loricstone]

another Goblin on his glider. *sigh*

Please enlighten us toe. What is he supposed to be on or doing? I assume you feel Hobgoblin should not be on a glider as well?:confused:

[toe]

No. Just tired of seeing Goblin statues always on his glider. I have yet to see a Goblin on his own that can wow me.

[loricstone]

Kind of understandable...but GG is not GG without his glider. That is his signature item.

It's like Thor and mjolnir. If he has no hammer, it's just not the same!

[toe]

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/66/7e/33/667e3354931980ffc74816e1a6733cea.jpg

something like this would be okay. minus Gwen. Glider is there but he's not riding it.

[Lockdown]

I hope there are more points of contact between the underside of the glider and explosion cloud in order to support the whole statue itself.
I can see the statue leaning and the glider wings snapping apart from looking at this wip so far. The the explosion cloud needs to bigger and GG needs his pouch also.

[frenchyoutoo]

Something about his neck. Maybe a more "inhaled" look with visible tendons, viens , muscles or what. Like he is inhaling for that big crqzy laugh! This guy is on the leaner/maniac side.

Also hands. They gotta do something with either hands if theyre gonna be switchout parts. No mirroring. Venom seems like it has mirrored hands. Think the default hand pose is that half clinched pose that the goblin and venom have. Just maybe somthing different.

I never realized this but GG was the first villain to carry a man purse...a Murse if you will. He just stepped up to a higher level Villainy!

[Comicbookguy]

Looks great! COH maybe? :)

[Peedi]

I dig the actual Goblin but I don't like the coaster under the base...I never like coasters under the base, just make the environment the base.

I'd also like the base to have him raised higher...XM does all these super tall, detailed or extensive bases then the character that actually flies sits relatively low...somehow they need to get him higher up.

I totally agree as a villian who is flying he should have some more height..not sure if that is complicated...also agree with the base.

AFAIK, XM has never made a coaster base for any of their statues. I don't think they will start now....especially when it is not necessary.

[Thor57]

AFAIK, XM has never made a coaster base for any of their statues. I don't think they will start now....especially when it is not necessary.

They haven't, but they've started designing and even printing them now. And that is what is concerning when we see them. After final touches, could XM go in there and remove the cylinder base? Yes, of course. It just seems like a waste of energy to do so. Green Goblin has been shown with one, Sandman was shown with one, and Classic Iron Man was actually printed with one. So of course they could be removed. The art design of Namor had one, but the digital mock up shown did not. I hope they take them off. It takes a lot away from the naturalism of the bases.

[adee]

I can appreciate artistic take on this but like the new SS piece it doesn't move me because it isn't classic. I realize I'm in the minority when it comes to this but unless a piece looks like the nostalgic character I remember it doesn't make me want to own one. Just seeing the Bowen piece in comparison makes me feel like that's the GG I know and love. I still think it's a very cool looking piece and I really like the pose.

[Comicbookguy]

I see a coh? awesome!

[frenchyoutoo]

Some angles look good amd some just dont... its wierd cant put finger on it, and that base = so damn boring. Phoenix has a phoenix, mags has a giant sentinel hand, GG's pretty damn big villian in the spidey world, was expecting more presence. Didnt like SS spidetman PF cloud base and its gotten mixed reception and somehow XM steered straight into the same scenario and looks even lamer because... theres only a cloud.. and i dont consider the glider as a base

[madmanny]

It's the shoulder pad I really don't like.

[built2shred]

I would wait and see what XM's explosion cloud looks like after being printed and painted, the problem with SS explosion is it looks like a imploding marshmallow due to the paint application.

[ambasah]

how the base looks painted will decide whether I try and get this.

[majestic1]

Pretty disappointed seeing the final sculpt, I think this is a case of fantastic concept art not translating well into a 3D sculpt.

I don't like Sideshow's Victorian steam punk cosplay Goblin either so the wait for a 1:4 Green Goblin continues.

[Mr. Machismo]

Loved the concept but it just turned out odd with some really weird angles. Pass.

[StringKeyRhythm]

Every statue will always have angles that aren't as good as other angles. As for the smoke base, I'd have to agree that I'm not too crazy about it.

[SONICobra]

overall looks awesome but I don't like how he looks to be just plopped down on some kind of cloud. theres no motion to the smoke, theres no trail from the back of the glider - looks like its going to be a pretty short piece as well

[RossMcCollector]

I totally agree with you!!!

Very underwhelming and kinda disappointed, and that's coming from the guy that is planning to get all of Spidey's villains.

I looked passed the whole "it's not the classic custom", and I thought XM would wow us with the smoke effect and add more height to elevate GG, but that's not the case here.

[StringKeyRhythm]

[Mr. Machismo]

Yeah...no motion to the piece. It just comes off as Goblin sitting on a static cloud.

Crazy, went from loving the sketch to really wanting to this, to having no desire at all. Sculpt just doesn't work.

[SONICobra]

on a positive note the new coh looks awesome

[supermetroid]

Great points SONICobra, I just saw this and agree 100%. I think having a smoke trail and having him higher in the air would be a big improvement. He's arguably a top 3 Marvel villain, he should probably sit the highest above all the other Spidey rogues especially since he's shown being midair.

[Lockdown]

I like the whole sculpt and the glider, but I thinking the explosion should be part of the roof top or brick wall like he is flying thru it.
This damaged brick wall or roof top can give this height feeling to the explosion base as shown now.

[loricstone]

Yeah...no motion to the piece. It just comes off as Goblin sitting on a static cloud.

Crazy, went from loving the sketch to really wanting to this, to having no desire at all. Sculpt just doesn't work.

I think you mean concept. The sculpt is professionally and wonderfully done....anyone can tell that. But you would prefer a different base or rather something that expresses more motion to the base. If that is the case, it is a solid point.

What some have to remember is that XM is trying to keep the height of this statue manageable for those trying to fit it in a besta or similar cabinet....AND....these statues are heavy...so maybe the weight of the statue is why it is the way it is. That's a guestimation...mind you...but probable.

I do agree that I would like to see some more motion or smoke trail that can give the illusion of movement. As it is now, it kind of has a look of a glider teeter-tottering on a rocky mound...so to speak.

[Peedi]

I'd prefer the classic costume but XM did take this costume directly from the comics, doesn't look like they changed anything at all.

But they did take liberties with the glider. It's slightly off putting, especially its flatness and the curve of the outer edges, but not a deal breaker.

I really dig the new head, though.

Not a big fan of the base. I think something else could work better...piece of a building and smoke trail, or the smoke mixed with a battle damaged building...just something else.

[Comicbookguy]

Wow so many not liking this. I like it best GG ive seen. Sure the base could be even better. Lets see what XM can do.

[jansen]

The new face rocks!

How about if the base was a corner section of the George Washington Bridge?

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Seems by far the majority of concern is around the explosion base.

I, myself, really like the look of this piece. Like others, I don't care much for the big bubble. In addressing an earlier comment, I don't think XM is all that concerned with fitting their pieces into standard sized cases and I believe this piece needs some height.

I don't believe however that a smoke trail would be possible to suspend this piece. The trail would be too thin and this piece is too large. So...I don't know the solution. I think one place to start would be to have the glider wings tilted downward as they are in the comics to give some slight distance between the glider and the explosion bubble.

[Peedi]

What some have to remember is that XM is trying to keep the height of this statue manageable for those trying to fit it in a besta or similar cabinet....AND....these statues are heavy...so maybe the weight of the statue is why it is the way it is. That's a guestimation...mind you...but probable.

Has XM stated if they actually care about bestas? If they do, statues like Vulture and Phoenix certainly go against that grain.

This is purely my opinion and has no bearing on anyone, but I think XM, SS, PCS, IS, Koto, etc, should limit the height of any given statue to what works best for that statue, character and design, and just focus on delivering what will be the best looking statue instead of trying to size a statue into one specific system that compared to the entire buying population...including the true collectors, to the fan of particular characters who only wants a few statues and done, to the one off buyer who just wants their favorite character and has no desire whatsoever to start collecting...very few actually have.

[loricstone]

That's why I said it was a guestimation.:dork:

I feel the same as you Peedi...do what is best for each statue. One thing is for certain, whether the base stays the same or is changed, this is a definite go for me barring any unforseen situations occurring.

I agree with CBG...this is the best GG I've ever seen...BUT....I would like to see what other kind of base designs XM could do. Maybe they can still have the explosion intermingled with a brick wall or something.

[King Grimlock]

This Green Goblin pose looks great and dynamic ...can't wait to seemore pics of the XM. I smell another XM pre order

[supermetroid]

I still think it won't look right if he's sitting lower or level than most of the other Spidey villains. Just my opinion, I think the sculpt is great but the base is not XM's best.

[toe]

There's no fluidity. Looks like he is stuck in a rock.

[Demona]

ITA, Toe.

I'm not sure why the statue needs a base that shows a pumpkin bomb exploding. I'm not sure what other base design would work to give the illusion of flying, but I'm worried this will end up looking like Bowen's Storm.

Which I have and love, but man that cloud base is just a hunk of grey.

[Y3E]

Good post. Statue companies should not care what you display your statues in.

GG does look nice but I agree with whatever it is under the glider, needs refinement to make it clear what it is. Shoulder pads looks odd though. 2 sets? The one under the fabric one looks like a turtle shell in the first pic.

[supermetroid]

I think XM will step up and improve this, especially the base. I've been on the XM train with their excellent quality and customer feedback and I don't think they'll let SS win this battle of Goblins that easily lol.

[built2shred]

Might look better if the explosion was behind him and he was on the front end of it escaping the blast

[StringKeyRhythm]

I think XM will step up and improve this, especially the base. I've been on the XM train with their excellent quality and customer feedback and I don't think they'll let SS win this battle of Goblins that easily lol.

:iagree: XM's advantage is that their Green Goblin is still in the 3D render stage. They should make the necessary adjustments to their concept while they still can. I have no doubt XM will deliver.

[IzeroI]

lololol wait is this news about XM and bestas true?

If I were a company I would care less. I'm not designing my piece specifically to fit in your f'n ikea shelf unit :laugh:

[XMAN]

There's no fluidity. Looks like he is stuck in a rock.

:iagree:TOTALLY.....he does't look like he's flying but more like he's grounded...the smoke should be trailing from behind....not building up underneath it.

Legion-
Ive probably been collecting comics a couple of decades before you started. Who knows, I don't know how old you are. I do have 45 long boxes of em though. True..I don't remember this costume but I'm pretty sure he wore his original a lot longer than this shoulder pad/knee pad stuff. I just prefer the classic look for my GG statue.

[XMAN]

Classic will always be my preference as well.

[jfyahui]

:iagree: XM's advantage is that their Green Goblin is still in the 3D render stage. They should make the necessary adjustments to their concept while they still can. I have no doubt XM will deliver.
Agree if one company can change and improve things it's xm...right now(I hate to say it,but ss has the edge with gg)I believe xm will step up...I will wait for their version first.:thumbs2:

[Kovenor]

yeah they just gotta make him higher up, it does look a bit off but a few small tweaks and it will be great.

[Doctor Doom]

I have the classic but I like this take on the character too....ORDERED.

[Comicbookguy]

The ss GG is looking pretty good. They are now copying XM with fully sculpted and action poses on most. Will see the final versions of both before buying. I'm have a feeling I will choose the XM one though. I trust them as a company to come out with loads of details and extras than thier competition. We shall see when this is done.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Which comic is it ? Really I want buy it any help ?

This is from the Caged angels trade. It's a thunderbolts series and it will be one of the best stories you ever read. Great action and Norman just loses his s$&@! I would suggest looking into some of the backstory before reading this to give perspective on what Norman is doing in thunderbolts mountain with bullseye, moonstone, penance, venom, and songbird.

[7th and Tef]

This is from the Caged angels trade. It's a thunderbolts series and it will be one of the best stories you ever read. Great action and Norman just loses his s$&@! I would suggest looking into some of the backstory before reading this to give perspective on what Norman is doing in thunderbolts mountain with bullseye, moonstone, penance, venom, and songbird.

thx u so much i order it in ebay after ur answer :P thx

I wish there is a classic head (look at the bowen one for inspiration)

goblin base reworked

[AC_808]

Need to see it translated into a sculpt. The new base concept looks great, but so did the original base concept. It was only after printing that the original base was found to not quite work out.

[Sharkey]

This looks really good. This might be my one Spidey villain I fit in my shelf. Love the Mysterio, but gobby is more iconic.

[mjjj1987]

Can't wait to see this fully painted...

[mjjj1987]

Any news on this piece?
I'm torn between getting this version or the SS one....what would i do??

Imaginarium Art have a 1:4 GG coming out as well.

[mjjj1987]

Didn't know about that one, but i checked it and i don't like it as much as the SS and XM version....
Really don't know,thats why I like to see more from this so i can make my final desiscion:banghead:

[loricstone]

Base is being reworked...and it definitely looked much better than the previous one. Probably won't see this completed until around early next year is my guess.

There is no rush to buy anything at this point. Im pretty sure you will be able to get a SS GG if you don't like the XM one at some point in the near future. Chances are, I think most GG fans will be very pleased with the XM one once it is shown completed.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Get the SS one.

Then get this one.

[yeungmei]

Look great. Just I prefer classic costume like ss og green goblin

[sparda]

So... Any news on this piece?

[MeetThyReaper]

I never realized this but GG was the first villain to carry a man purse...a Murse if you will. He just stepped up to a higher level Villainy!

:hilarious:

GG's murse is part of the appeal!

[banner23]

As anyone heard any more news on this statue ?

[IzeroI]

As anyone heard any more news on this statue ?

Think someone said their original idea was scrapped and they're starting over.

Got to assume we won't have an xm gg in our hands until 2019...if we're lucky.

[CWalker]

Latest interview with Gem Mint on Youtube says he is coming in near future :) :)

[Sharkey]

Interested to see him done up and his much concept has changed.

[CWalker]

I hope they minimize the glider smoke. Sculpted smoke *never* looks good, IMO.

[CWalker]

This style pose, maybe squatting more, would be my mind's eye pose. And size the glider properly.

Good call...hope the smoke is played down.Seen some GG smoke bases in the past and the smoke looked like mounds of shaving crème.

Lol, exactly. :laugh:

[Subby1938]

I need a GG bad in 1/4 as well as Hobgoblin . Two of my fav rogues in Spider-Man’s mythos

[craigcliff1]

Someone on CG asked about this GG and XM wrote this year. If someone is a member its was posted with Looney Tunes announcembt

[Subby1938]

I knew he was coming my most anticipated villain

The glider is very much in line with the old-school comic which this is representative of. Go look up 1980's Green Goblin, you will see for yourself.

[WalkerFodder]

This could be the ultimate companion piece to XM Spider-man. If they have GG holding a bomb and looking slightly downward, you could position him on a riser behind and to the side of Spider-man since the GG bombs are already coming down from the upper left on the Spider-man piece.

Could be awesome, especially if you only have room for 1 definitive Spiderman and 1 of his villains.

What a tease...Scanty as it is - this looks like it's going to be great! Colorization and detail looks fantastic!

[FJC]

I have a feeling that this will be a bit too stylized for my tastes. Paint apps look superb though.

[Conehead]

I like what I see so far....

[Subby1938]

Nobody is doing a true classic goblin from comics I’m over it I’d be happy with modern version ( not too modern ) this may be the one. I want Green goblin and hobgoblin I can rest easy

[Barbarian]

So far, so good. :penguin:

[Jack's Username]

Pretty much where I'm at. *Sigh*

[majestic1]

Looks pretty good so far, I'm more interested in a Hobgoblin though.

[Subby1938]

We have been waiting forever never mind the teaser photos let’s see this assembled

[Wurmtongue]

wtf! sideshow already gave us a medieval batman and a goofylooking goblin, this isn't the green goblin...they\ do a true lizard,scorpion,kingpin, mysterio, kraven, sandman, electro,venom and carnage, but when they get to the main man, real deal, the evilest mf of spiderman villains they throw us a modern fish scale, gamn of thrones green goblin....XM need to look up horizon green goblin to find a great looking goblin...

[GaryTonge]

That's why I got this one made. I wanted a really classic looking Goblin. I think XM will have the classic portrait and an updated costume.

https://i.imgur.com/pjld6Hw.jpg

[Conehead]

I believe Ben wrote on FB the goblin will be a mix of classic and modern or something to that effect. Sounds good to me.

[Subby1938]

Imaginarium Arts did a stunning classic Goblin that never made it to production. I loved how he looked but it was odd he was standing off his glider. The detail in him and the way his eyes were painted imo were best I’ve seen

[Subby1938]

What he said !!!! XM take notes

[majestic1]

Looks like it will be very similar to the 1:4 bust, the same huge fish scale armor on the shoulders.

http://i67.tinypic.com/nwzbiv.png

[Subby1938]

That’s a cool look imo as well but why give us classic looks on many of their popular Spidey rouges and then switch it up on the goblin? He’s the biggest baddie is the spider universe ?

[CWalker]

http://i67.tinypic.com/nwzbiv.png

That looks great to my eye. Bring it on.

[supermetroid]

Wow didn't realize they did a GG bust. Looks great but agree the scale's are pretty big!

[Maldis]

The Green Goblin is my favorite comic character. I can't wait to see what XM comes up with. Do you think they will have one displayed at SDCC?

Currently I've got the most recent SS PF but it just does't capture that classic Green Goblin chaos. Thinking about selling it and buying the old SS goblin or just waiting for XM's.

[craigcliff1]

I got the SSC original GG when it came out, awesome sculpt but stupid idea to use fabric. I would think they would show at WW summer if they go

[Subby1938]

I hope those armoured scales on legs and shoulders can be removed by magnet that way we have display options on modern or classic look.

[Maldis]

Sold the newest SS goblin and bought the old one. Waiting on this XM goblin is killing me!

[Subby1938]

Ditto

[CWalker]

Great idea. :thumbs2:

[Maldis]

Did XM ever release that goblin bust?

[Peedi]

This GG has scales so it’s already leagues above the sideshow. The big shoulder scales are painted silver so it’s obvious armor, it doesn’t bother me much. If this ends up looking like that bust I might have to order.

[Subby1938]

I think it will I’m just hoping XM gives us switch out options. This is one of the biggest villains in Spideys rogues gallery

[Mr. Nice Guy]

http://i67.tinypic.com/nwzbiv.png

XM does exceptional 1/4 busts that should reall6 be on full statues. This and he Venom in a full piece 1/4 scale would just be delightful.

[Subby1938]

There is a venom being done by kucharek Bros based on style of the bust.

[nearmint]

[CWalker]

Looks promising. :)

Would say the 'wings' of the glider look small-ish.

[IzeroI]

I like what I see so far, and how the heck did I miss that GG bust?!!

[CWalker]

I like that it appears they are minimizing the glider smoke. That can often look cheesy.

Also, the base appears to match very nicely with the Vulture base. Wood beams and bricks.

[CWalker]

Also: curious they have him keyed at the torso. Swap out torsos?

Or is that the norm when it's in prototype stage?

[GrumpyBear]

It´s a prototype, never attached complete like a release piece.

[CWalker]

Ah, thanks

[adee]

3 heads? None classic?

[davide87ita]

Hope XM show something about this venom soon

[SONICobra]

i dunno those big scale things look kind of like leaves and give off a peter pan vibe to me, the rest looks nice

[GaryTonge]

That's what worries me as well.

[Maldis]

I'm not too thrilled with the scale armor but I am going to hold off judging it until the full reveal is out. Who am I kidding....he is my favorite comic character and will be a day 1 PO.

[Conehead]

The sculpt came out EXCELLENT so far... the scales look great on the bust so I sure XM and the sculptors did a good job...They know what they are doing.

[Peedi]

This is looking good so far although I’d prefer the glider to be closer to the comic. It reminds of the movie version, they just added the comic book “head” on it.

GG himself looks good. I don’t mind the armored scales. But I need to see his skin. I skipped the last PF because the skin was that weird texture and not scales. I felt like they copped out with that instead of doing scales.

I like that there’s a Norman head. It’ll go great with the battle damaged torso for Spider-Man. But one of the heads needs to be classic or close enough.

Can't wait to see the switch outs! Loving that paint job!

[Demona]

Looks really great! Perfect shade of green IMO. I like how the base ties into Vulture's based on the building materials.

Those wonky eyes are very distracting though :laugh:

[Gollum]

I would guess about 28 Inches high :)

1st thing I thought too :thumbs2:

I see one other negative: the spider web. Those always look like cheesy plastic. Hopefully removable without holes.

Well, they did what I hoped for. Simple "ready to throw" pose. No Karate Kid, or weird contortions.

[CWalker]

Can't wait to see the switch outs!

Well, we know one should be the Norman unmasked head. Also in that pic his arm was bent. But they could have redesigned that.

YES YES YES!!!

This is what I’ve been waiting for! Absolutely loving this! Finally a Green Goblin for all of my Spideys, they’ve been waiting!

I’d like to see a brighter image of the above angle. Can’t wait to see even more of this.

damn, my favorite spidey villian, and they f*ckd him up with some dumb looking suit, and modern glider, yet give all the other villains a classic theme, although electro go the switch out head and scorpion with the switch outs. way to go xm....
