[Tetragrammaton]

I'm disappointed.

Passing on this one based solely on the style they chose to depict.

[Black Cat]

ew god that things looks horrible and I'm a frightened of Loki at the moment

[DSET]

BEST VS. EVEr!
IMHO

were do i pre-order!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daredevil]

not my cup of tea

[nemesisenforcer]

yea this im not to hype about.

[SquiderM3]

Oh what could have been. Not the Thor and Loki I remember.:(

[Alex655321]

The sculpt looks great, but that is not how I want Thor or Loki to look.:(

[ComputerFly]

I LOVE IT!!! I have got to find a giant poster of the artwork. Lemme know if you know where I can pick it up.

AWESOME!!!

[badhulk]

pass for me

[DSET]

I'm surprised in the early dissapointment by everyone

what is it you dont like the design?

the only flaw i see is the black pants

[High Lord Apocalypse]

looks about as good as the cap vs redskull, no better.
the xmen vs and hulk vs are in another league.

[High Lord Apocalypse]

I'm surprised in the early dissapointment by everyone

what is it you dont like the design?

the only flaw i see is the black pants

i think people were expecting a classic thor but sideshow doesn't do classic.

[DSET]

cap vs redskull is horrible the faces are totally off
this is 100% ribic's artwork to a TEEE
if you dont like his artwork then thats a whole different story

[JadeGiant]

let's hope for a variant version with a traditional Thor paint up

[DSET]

and yeah if you wanted the classic suit yeah Id be dissapointed in that sense too

[Tetragrammaton]

I'm surprised in the early dissapointment by everyone

the only flaw i see is the black pants

It isn't the sculpt or the execution of the statue.

Its the choice of control artwork. They select one (very nicely drawn) cover that depicts very stylized versions of the characters and ignore how they looked for the other 40 years.

[Bowen or Bust]

Not digging the black and white striped boots on Thor.

true say

Im happy with my bowen Thor\

and I love Ribic's artwork so this is a must for me

the only thing about the design i dont like is the black on black pants

[High Lord Apocalypse]

i was hoping to see a colossus comiquette. hopefully there still some stuff that sideshow is keeping hush hush till the comic con!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cap70]

Still deciding about this one

[DSET]

yeah were the hell is a daredevil and Thor Pf

loooong overdue by SS

[Alex655321]

Not digging the black and white striped boots on Thor.

I am thinking the same.

[Tetragrammaton]

This reminds me a lot of my reaction to the Doom PF.

Incredible statue but not my idea of what the character should look like.

I should buy one just to flip.

[twinzs]

I'll be getting this one for sure.

[boondocksaint]

AWESOME!!!!!!

plenty of other comppanies doing the classic looks..

glad ss is doing something different...tired of the same ol stuff!

[moon_knight1971]

Easy pass for me....

[High Lord Apocalypse]

AWESOME!!!!!!

very good point boony. :thumbs2: if you want classic, get either of the bowen thor and wait for bowen to do a loki fs.
these vs pieces are in scale with the bowen line anyway.

[The General]

I'm disappointed.

Same here dude. Easy pass for me. Not Thor & Loki in my book.:thumbsdow

thanks T.... i like the variety ss is offering...

[buchieboy]

wow, darn nice..this will look good besides my bowen thor =)

my only problem is the chair..thy're gods so they are supposed to fight in the air for god's sakE.

[DSET]

I'm sure theres no point in anything lighting up in this vs
and no point in switching heads

so hopefully the exclusive has the classic paint job that everyone is hoping for

[High Lord Apocalypse]

i dont think so, then thor would be without a cape and they'll need to get rid of his "do rag" and sculpt hair in its place.right?

[DSET]

i meant just paint job
not the full design

but im guessing the exclu is gonna include that little goblet lol

[P1X4R]

ok, i need to walk over to a mac to see these 360's..

[High Lord Apocalypse]

i meant just paint job

the exclusive better have something nice. the goblet is already on the floor so whats it gonna be? a pedestal for it? a lil piece of poop to place behind the scared loki?

[adee]

Personally I don’t know that Thor so I wouldn’t buy it, but the sculpt looks very nice.

go ahead pat, release your frustration. seemed like knowing ahead was more of a curse than a blessing then.:)

[Hellboy]

Not exactly the iconic look I was hoping for with these characters but there is no denying the sculpt is absolutely fantastic. I'll be buying this for sure.

[Karma]

looks like they've wanted to take the mythological look to the piece

[Iron Fist]

Since when does Loki have missing teeth? I realize he could have received a previous beat-down from Thor, but I don't recall him being quite so ugly...

Other than that, piece is semi-cool imho

[patrickwm68]

go ahead pat, release your frustration. seemed like knowing ahead was more of a curse than a blessing then.:)

Especially those "What's The Next Marvel Going To Be" threads.

[DSET]

now that we've seen a vs

im almost certain we will see a thor pf
although IMHO all they can do is come close to the bowen
its already that good

wolv vs saber=few months later
wolv comiquette
hulk vs spidey
hulk pf
cap vs red skull
cap pf

sentinels are the exception I would definately buy a collosus PF but I think SS wants to do the immediate characters first

but seriously were the hell is Daredevil Comiquette??

[Ink]

pass:thumbsdow

[riderV3]

Man I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbs2:

It's actually pretty good to see a new take on Thor, this shall be mine and don't know what'll the exclusive be...

[Makkari1]

I've been waiting for a Thor anything from Sideshow for a long time but they decide to do a "off the wall" mini series Thor from a alternate universe as their first Thor. What a disappointment this piece is. It may be well sculpted but why chose this Thor and Loki when there are so many classic poses to chose from. If this was a classic piece I'd buy it a heart beat but right now this is a easy pass.

[woodsy]

Man I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbs2:

Two thumbs way up! Love the dio and the artwork it's based on :buttrock:

[loricstone]

i think people were expecting a classic thor but sideshow doesn't do classic.

a kamode to flush this thing down:laugh:

[TheMadTitan]

Anyone know for sure what the excl. will be?

my guess is thor with cape? but i doubt a simple cape can be that special

[Gir]

Looks really good to me. The amount of detail is incredible. I'm not a big Marvel collector though, so what do I know.

[DSET]

In the immortal words of Yoda, "And that is why they failed."

if you're saying they failed on the statue
agreed, however I like Ribic's artwork and the statue quality is top notch this is a must for me
if youre saying that SS is a failure....
:stick:

[loricstone]

This reminds me a lot of my reaction to the Doom PF.

Incredible statue but not my idea of what the character should look like.
I should buy one just to flip.

Even if you don't like the current Doom, which is pretty close in design to the Classic one, the PF Doom still looked like Doom!

This Thor vs. Loki is a disappointment just for the simple fact these are Gods, not grandpas. Where the hell is Loki's teeth!

Hard Hero will you please show everyone how to do an excellent Loki? Please!

*NOTE* This is exactly how buff Thor should be! The musculature is right on the money! I don't know what the hell happened to Loki?!:confused: :mad:

[woodsy]

my guess is thor with cape? but i doubt a simple cape can be that special

[loricstone]

thanks T.... i like the variety ss is offering...

I do too boony with all their various licenses. But Marvel is Marvel because of their classic characters. I can understand if this came out after they released a couple of the classic character incarnations in PF and Comiquette formats. But to start off the bat with this????:confused:

Thor is most popular in what incarnation??? You can answer that one! The classic incarnation of Thor. Loki also! This is disappointing! If that Ironman Comiquette is just a repainted IM in that horrible pose (not representative of Iron Man at all), SS will be upsetting me greatly!

Hell, at least they have the Robocop PF and Black Cat.

never dawned on you guys that they're saving the classic design for the PF?

i said it 3times already

make that two:confused2

[stormshadow75x]

I personally love this piece it looks completely amazing
this has put SS's Vs line back on the map the CAP &
2nd X-Men piece were ho-hum

but this sculpt is amazing

I love the art this piece is based on; anyone who's seen it can't knock this amazing art

can't wait to see this released....

wow

can't wait to see DD vs. Bullseye

Yes, that is what I am saying. Not that SS is a failure because they are not! That Robocop alone discredits anyone that will say otherwise!

It just is not the most business savy decision to do a non classic Thor and Loki First.

The comic storyline and artwork could have been fine for all I know, but this should not be the first thing released! The most pop version of Thor and Loki are the classic incarnations, not Ribic's version!

I sincerely hope they do! And when they do, it will no doubt be the best version of Thor on the market. Bar none!

[adee]

The more I look at it the more it grows on me, but I still think Loki looks like a crack head protecting his stash.

[stormshadow75x]

I just don't get all the bashing ...

I realize this isn't the classic Thor & Loki that we all love

But it's still an amazing sculpt

& why do we all have to be so fixated on what they used to look like?

These characters evolve as well as the art form....

anyone who has seen the artwork this is based on just can't knock it

this isn't like Bowen's Spiderman Vs. Venom that uses Bisley's stylized art work.. that causes very polarized opinions on it

Same thing with the Doom PF... I loved it ... It's an updated look on Doom ... he looks regal, powerful & intimidating...
& its just a slight update on the mask ....

remember ... "things change"

[bat_collector]

stormshadow, all the haters will shut up when this is the next piece burning it up on the after sales market. lol

theres also a NEW marvel look and ss is doing that...if you want classic go to bowen.hardhero,dst SS is doing the new stuff which is just awesome...im tired of seeing the same style done over and over and over again...gives variety to your collection instead of the same look from every company of every character,,,,thats borrrrrrrrring

[patrickwm68]

I think it looks great, I'm not getting it, but I still think it looks great.

[noseeb13]

Very nice looking sculpt but for the first statue of Thor from Sideshow you would have thought they would have gone with a classic interpretation. I'll reserve judgment and ordering choice until I see it tomorrow.

agreed

I freakin love this statue, the sculpt quality is sooo amazing, posing is phenominal. I love Ribic's artwork so this does it for me, my only beef with ribics design is the black on black pants slection.

I think the Thor PF is gonna satisfy the people who dislike this statue.

[rjb America]

easy pass very very disappointed!:(

[Hellboy]

Its funny I don't remember this kind of reaction when the X-Men Vs. Sentinel piece was announced. I mean it is after all based on The Astonishing X-Men not the classic teams.

Based on this picture alone I'd have to say this is by far my favorite Vs. sculpt to date. And out of all the characters in the line these are my two least favorite. I love how dynamic this is and how well it conveys power. Fitting for Gods.

[DSET]

^I couldnt agree more Hellboy^:buttrock:

on another note
how do we know what time these are going to be listed

we gonna sit by the computer all day?
if so:
I'm down :eplus2:

[risingstar]

There's a Thor comic out here where he wears Witchipoo boots (re: from H.R. Pufn'Stuf)...??

The statue looks really nice but I have to agree with the majority. These two may be Thor and Loki but not Marvel's Thor and Loki. It almost looks as it the artist was asked to do a Thor and Loki and instead of picking up a Marvel book, he went to a school library and picked up a reference book on Norse mythological figures (not that there's anything really wrong with that -- save from putting the Marvel stamp on it, that is).

I was hoping for a more familiar design overall, especially a flowing red cape. I realize there are a few others that are saying that if you want classic, go with Bowen, however SS has the license on these VS type statues so it's not like we have all that many other options to consider.

Rating:

Craftsmanship: 8/10
Originality: 9/10
Faithfulness to Marvel design: 2/10

[TheMadTitan]

i dont understand why loki is missing lots of teethhhhh :banghead: :banghead: in that loki mini series he only misses a few teeth!!

[Hellboy]

we gonna sit by the computer all day?

I sure hope not but if need be I'll make arrangements. i.e. sick day. :sly2:

[Endless Wake]

I have to say again its an amazing sculpt of some beautiful artwork in a truly great story, but I hope SS visits the classic costumes in some format in the future.

[GangstaRoranous]

Hmmmm. Have to think about this one. Don't really know if I am feeling it.

[BigLeagueChu]

I would like to pick up a couple books this style is based on. I don't know this Thor at all, but am collecting the whole diorama line, so I'll probably get this.

[Jack's Username]

Awesome sculpt, terrible character designs. Man, Thor's boots just scream "Oompa Loompa".

[Wayne Industries]

Looks good.:thumbs2:

[Colossal]

Im never been into the characters much myself, although do rate Thor as a great character, but not that bothered about costume changes, as long as it looks great.

This piece, in particular the sculpt of Thor's physique, is fascinating, really well done.

The only reason I wont buy this is because I couldnt get the X-Men v Sentinel diorama 1, so chose not to start this line among the many others, but it is a great piece of sculpture for sure.

[growlstrike]

I love this piece! I didn't really follow thor growing up so I'm not bothered by the mordern look of this. Actually the first Thor book I picked up was the Loki HC collecting the storyline this statue is based on. Great read, amazing artwork and now a killer statue! I think I'll have to get this.

[riderV3]

stormshadow, all the haters will shut up when this is the next piece burning it up on the after sales market. lol

Totally agree, B_C, I'm a big Thor freak and I don't find the design bothersome at all.

It'll be my first VS. piece.
Can't wait at all, hope it'll be up for order soon..

[Wolverine1]

AWESOME!!!!!!

plenty of other comppanies doing the classic looks..

glad ss is doing something different...tired of the same ol stuff!
Ditto, thinking about getting this, my only other vs is Wolvie and Sabes!

[OB1]

SS rocks :buttrock:

I love classic representations (like Bowen, but I don't buy Bowen anymore, too much releases for me) but I love modern versions like Sideshow's.

The sculpt is very ambitious and the dynamic is real.

This line is the must for me (with Batman Black & White :thumbs2: )

[geto10]

Pass :)

[buchieboy]

this one's darn nice..any idea how tall it will be?

[Rudy]

I really think its about the style. If you look at the earlyer versus pieces they all come in the same style which is a realistic style. Sideshow chose this style for this line and I am happy they are sticking to it. I bought cap vs red and wolvie vs saber and love them both.This line gives us an opportunity to have a different style with realistic clothes and they are very succesful in doing it. This piece has a great composition and a unique style which I lovee, but it's lacking one thing IMO and that is thor's cape. Otherwise it will go great with others and will be a great piece by itself. I will definetely be getting this. I think its awesome.

[El Diablo]

Still deciding about this one

Ditto, not keen on the outfit choice :thumbsdow .

[tuv1305]

I have to admit, I'm not as excited about the turnaround as I was the unpainted prototype, but I still think it's a great piece. Can't wait to order it.

[Vracula]

oh my thor looks awesome

[bane]

Looks great but I'm not a big fan of Thor , but I think it's a great sculpt and a dynamic piece

[IronFingaz]

Pass... Want the Thor PF insted.

[darthmatrix]

when can I order

[RichBamf]

I love this, obviously based on the art from the loki miniseries, which is my favourite Loki story.

This might be my first vs piece.

[Juggernaut]

Ok, each time sideshow realeaced a vs product, always happened the same, ...now can anyone told me witch of the full line ¨VS¨ ARE BASED ON A CLASSIC VERSION STYLE?, this is funny, We are in a Sideshow forum section ...right ? Sideshow continue keeping the same concept for the full ¨VS¨line, So what is the surprice here, This is like if on the Bowen section Forum, Each time he anounced a new figure, everybody start asking way they always do CLASSIC version?

Now back to topic! :)

Felicidades Martin y a los otros chicos, otro trabajo muy bien hecho!!! :thumbs2:

Just one thing, SS should change Thor´s belt, the golden one looks much better!!!

[The General]

I like allot of the modern stuff but not stuff like this. I like allot of the modern stuff but I don’t like stuff like this at all. I don’t like most of the ultimate stuff, don’t like the Alex Ross style or anyone else that draws like him. This is an awesome sculpt and the statue is very impressive but it’s just not Thor & Loki. At least to me it’s not. I just hope that when they do a Thor PF that he looks classic’ish not something like this. But Martin is right, this shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s just disappointing to me. I love the work that SS is doing I just don’t like the look they’re choosing for allot of the Marvel stuff. Maybe it’s better that way because I’d be completely bankrupt otherwise.

I feel the same way. Well, about their choices that is. I like most modern art including Ross and Ribic, but even if it's modern it can be somewhat iconic (like the Punisher PF). I respect SS for taking a risk and going with a version of these characters that most people aren't familiar with, but I also think they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit. There's bound to be alot of people who won't buy this cause they're unfamiliar with the source material.

keep up the great work! love that the new styles are being sculpted! :buttrock:

[boondocksaint]

I feel the same way. Well, about their choices that is. I like most modern art including Ross and Ribic, but even if it's modern it can be somewhat iconic (like the Punisher PF). I respect SS for taking a risk and going with a version of these characters that most people aren't familiar with, but I also think they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit. There's bound to be alot of people who won't buy this cause they're unfamiliar with the source material.

how are they shooting themself in the foot? im pretty sure they sold out of all the vs pieces and doom and iron man...all modern versions....:confused:

[zoid2323]

I think it will display nicely with Loki #2 framed behind it:buttrock:

[Darth Pain]

Love the stlyle. I will be getting that one.

[RD13]

I like it. Though the gold belt and red cape would've been a nice toch to add to the dio. Wonder what the EXCLUSIVE will be like.

[BigLeagueChu]

I want to look for that Loki mini-series now. How many issues, and is it finished?

[boondocksaint]

i agree...getting it either way but the cape and belt wouldve :buttrock:

[blackjack]

Passed...Too stylist for me!

[Darth Pain]

Ok, each time sideshow realeaced a vs product, always happened the same, ...now can anyone told me witch of the full line ¨VS¨ ARE BASED ON A CLASSIC VERSION STYLE?, this is funny, We are in a Sideshow forum section ...right ? Sideshow continue keeping the same concept for the full ¨VS¨line, So what is the surprice here, This is like if on the Bowen section Forum, Each time he anounced a new figure, everybody start asking way they always do CLASSIC version?
I dont know, but always soap can be a little boring :thumbs2:

I think that's why I buy more from Sideshow than any other company. I'm 30 now so, I grew up with the modern style characters. I do buy some "classic" style statues but, not much becuase I just don't like the style.

[Makkari1]

The more I look at it the more it grows on me, but I still think Loki looks like a crack head protecting his stash.

:laugh: :laugh:

[loricstone]

theres also a NEW marvel look and ss is doing that...if you want classic go to bowen.hardhero,dst SS is doing the new stuff which is just awesome...im tired of seeing the same style done over and over and over again...gives variety to your collection instead of the same look from every company of every character,,,,thats borrrrrrrrring

You Sideshow nutjobs are all the same!:) It's funny! Most people on these boards seem to hate the new Marvel that Joe Q runs, but all of a sudden when SS up does a sculpt on the newer versions of Marvel's characters, everybody's gung ho! Ahhhhh, it's fresh, new, exciting! Sorry, I can still get fresh, new, and exciting, from Hard Hero's DD and that is innovative (pose). There actually is nothing innovative about an overgrown muscle bound Thor (which looks great muscle mass wise), attacking a crack head Loki with two teefus! Where is the innovation??? Innovative is doing something new in a genre that has been overdone! Just because it is a different style of art doesn't make it innovative! Different, but not innovative!

Granted, my main problem is not that SS came out with this at all, it is with the fact they are coming out with this lesser know version FIRST! This is not a knock on Sideshow as a company! The sculpt and poses are top notch (as are about 80% of SS's sculpts are).

One last thing, I didn't hear anybody saying I'm tired of seeing the old Hulk, or Magneto, or Green Goblin or Elektra! So all of a sudden, now everyone is tired of the old characters! You heard it hear and now, if/when SS does do a Classic Thor PF, you and all the other SS enthusiasts will swear up and down, this is the best statue I ever seen! To me, it is just a major cop out from SS to do a Stealth IRon Man (where has all this Stealth excitement come from anyway?:confused: ) instead of an entirely new sculpt of Thor or some other main Marvel character! SS doing something new and fresh? Think about that statement for a second.:peoples:

It's not that the modern versions of the vs. line are done, it is (at least to me) the fact that this came out before a Classic Thor PF, which seems to be a general consensus that more people wanted! That's all! I will reiterate, this is a fabulous sculpt and extremely faithful to the original Loki HC.

[zoid2323]

I want to look for that Loki mini-series now. How many issues, and is it finished?

It was a 4 Part series issued in 2004 with art by Esad Ribic.

[Makkari1]

Awesome sculpt, terrible character designs. Man, Thor's boots just scream "Oompa Loompa".

Too funny.:laugh: I didn't mind the series because I knew that this Loki and Thor didn't represent the classic 616 Marvel Universe and in the comics it was OK. The problem I have with this sculpt is that I would never want to own this because in my mind this is not the 616 Thor. For their first piece Sideshow does this is just not right and I would like to see a classic first. Not impressed to see a snaggle toothed Loki gracing my collection either. In this series they nailed Loki's character perfect as some low life who is seeking power and is about to lose it all. I hope that all who buy this would be happy, I'm just not feeling it.

I never said I hated this vs statue! I just don't like that it came out before a Thor PF! Oh, just so you know, I have yet to buy a vs. statue from SS! Waitaminute! So the Cap vs. Red Skull was considered a modern take on the characters? Wolverine vs. Sabretooth was considered a modern take on the characters? BS!!!!! Something aint quite right there!

And I can't believe you said that! If you bastiches hadn't taken down the HH section, you probably wouldn't hear my mouth as much in here! Oh well, yawls forum and I have to abide by the rules.

[Makkari1]

The sculpt it self is great and I long to see what else Sideshow can do with Thor. I suspect that once they do a PF Thor it will be probably be arguably the greatest Thor piece done. Who knows maybe a Thor vs the Destroyer is around the corner. :D

1st stop the name calling

2nd i didnt take down anything

also ss will do a thor pf so be patient...it will be the best thor piece ever made like most of the other statues sideshow has done :buttrock:

[ecthelion]

I like this one a lot. It's different; kinda realistic and dark looking with the not so vibrant colors and darker shades. It doesn't immediately bring the relation to a comic to mind, and that's special when the characters are from a comic. I think a lot of core comic readers won't be happy with this, but the more mainstream collectors who collect more than just comic related stuff will find it fits better within their collection. so this is again, I think, a good call from sideshow (sales-wise). Anyways, it'll be awesome, and you know it. Word.

[ecthelion]

And BTW; does anybody know when this will be up for pre-order?

[tuv1305]

how are they shooting themself in the foot? im pretty sure they sold out of all the vs pieces and doom and iron man...all modern versions....:confused:

I was about to explode on one of you're previous posts but forget about it

ALLLLLLL the sideshow VS come out before the PFs
wolv vs saber (average)
wolv came later
Cap vs redskull (sucked)
cap PF came after
Hulk vs spidey
spidey and Hulk pf came later

SS is not going to change their patterns and marketing stategies just to satisfy the people who want classic form first. And for what friggin reason do you need it first?? WHAT THE heLLL is the difference, just wait the classic will come.
sentinels are the exception they are their own line

Cap vs skull has exxageration in the faces and the pose just as the venom vs spidey does, thats theyre take at modernising it. The wolv vs saber is the exception it was their first vs so maybe they changed their stategy after. Actually no I figured something else out, they did a classic wolverine vs saber and did a modern wolverine CC this way they have both versions out there, thats exactly what they are doing trying to get as many different versions out as possible.


Yes the thor PF is gonna coem out soon, and yes chances are it will be geared more towards classic armor and probably most people will love it more than the current bowen (if thats possible:wink2:)
and even if we do like it more than all the other Thor statues

how does that make us sell outs or how is that a negative on SS part?
All you gotta do is a wiat a little longer
Youll get what you want in a PF
not in a VS
and the people who wnat only the modern and dislike the old design get what they want from the VS and stay away from teh PFs

[loricstone]

Hey why dont you just go back to the HH section......oh wait nevermind...:)

no forget about that, at that point I didnt undertsand what you wanted

now i understand that you want the classic versions first, which IMO really makes no difference.

no i wish i did though

unlike you i wasnt lucky enough to get a job with my favorite company

There actually is nothing innovative about an overgrown muscle bound Thor (which looks great muscle mass wise), attacking a crack head Loki with two teefus! Where is the innovation???

Well Maybe "Marvel" can answer you that question :)

[DSET]

Does SS have any marketing strategies? Oh, you mean like the SS IM Stealth Comiquette?:peoples:

okay they have some bad moves
but theyre still moves think about it

how easy was it for them to do that
they are just releasing it on the side, there will probably be only 100 of em and it will be something that gains crazy value

they promised us one of each this Comcicon
so far we have
2 CCs
one Vs
one bust

on redo of iron man

I guarantee they have a marvel PF that they havent announced as yet

yes they have marketing stategies and its better than most companies

except bowens because he just listens to what we want

[ta2215]

So I guess if Thor was hitting Loki in his b@lls that would be Innovative! Or maybe if he has his head between his legs that will be innovative. Sorry but I do not agree with your concept of innovation. I think this is a fresh take to a main character and I can't wait for this to be released.

I like HH and SS and I collect both but I don't understand why groupies need to jump in a thread that belongs to another company product just to spread negativity. I guess that is call innovation.

[loricstone]

no i wish i did though

unlike you i wasnt lucky enough to get a job with my favorite company

so were you behind the brilliant innovative upside down daredevil? lol :)

No, but seems like SS is running out of unique Marvel statue concepts (SS Stealth IM :stick: ). On a positive note, I like a lot of the new stuff (Warcraft dio, Robocop PF, Lara Croft PF, Black Cat, AVP replicas and dios) SS will have at the show! My wife and I will be leaving for SD shortly! Will have plenty of pics from all companies products!

[DSET]

I agree I love HH as well
I have every SW and LOTR bust
and I got them for damn good prices

whats innovative about the thor vs loki is that Ribics artwork has never been made into a statue yet

also the anatomy and posing is simply phenominal

also they have a sculpted cape on loki and they have cotton material on the back of it, thats never been done before:thumbs2:

[loricstone]

I wasn't trying to spread negativity! That was not my intention! I was just disgruntled with the fact that I really, really, really, want a Thor PF FIRST! FIRST! FIRST! It seems like you guys are attacking me as if I was a SS basher! I'm not! I own quite a few items from them! But SS is not perfect! And some of their business decisions just really baffle the hell out of me!

I hate the new iron

but its just an extra like the black spidey

a 100 will coem out so that some people can make money off them

they will soon announce a marvel PF IMHO

Thank you for your sense of humor! :thumbs2: Did you sculpt this dio? Well, whoever did, did a great job!:thumbs2:

I didnt think you were an SS basher

just confused to why u want a classic thor first

Im guessing SS will announce a marvel PF this time around
its either gonna be
silver surfer (hope not)
Thor or
Daredevil

LOL, I did not mean it with disdain, and I never pointed out any company groupies. I was speaking generally.
I own more HH Marvel than any other maker so no hate here.

[Jameshowlett]

I'm disappointed.

Passing on this one based solely on the style they chose to depict.
When I first saw this unpainted I thought AWESOME, but having just looked at the painted version I'm somewhat dissappointed in the style they depicted,I would have apprecaitted a more classic looking Thor.
Having said that, this is a must buy for me, so I'll be pre-ordering this one BIG TIME! This looks like something I might find in a muesum-VERY NICE SIDESHOW!:thumbs2:

[loricstone]

Alright guys, getting ready to head down to SDCC! Will talk to you and hopefully have some pics to show upon my return! Not that many others won't as well!

Are there any close up pics ? the 360 view is kinda small to see the detail.

[CaptCracker]

nevermind

[devlinboy]

i like the sculpt but im not a fan of the paint apps. i wish it stuck to the ribic version if they were going to go in this direction. yellow straps on the boots are a must for me. as is a cape . i like it but i dont love it like i did when i saw it unpainted. the unpainted was awesome.

Does it say when this dio goes up for presale?

[lord odin]

That will never be in my collection it`s a great sculpt but it doesn`t look like any Thor or Loki I know.:thumbsdow

[darthmatrix]

Aug 9th

[lord odin]

Even if you don't like the current Doom, which is pretty close in design to the Classic one, the PF Doom still looked like Doom!

This Thor vs. Loki is a disappointment just for the simple fact these are Gods, not grandpas. Where the hell is Loki's teeth!

Hard Hero will you please show everyone how to do an excellent Loki? Please!

*NOTE* This is exactly how buff Thor should be! The musculature is right on the money! I don't know what the hell happened to Loki?!:confused: :mad:
That`s what i`m waiting for.

[boondocksaint]

That`s what i`m waiting for.

im sure bowen will do one wayyyyyy before

[lord odin]

im sure bowen will do one wayyyyyy before
If it`s a boring museum pose i`ll pass on that one also.
That pose with one arm out has been done to death.

[Mastermold]

I like it, but yeah the classic look for both would have been better. But I must admit Thor looks better like this in these colors, however.

[boondocksaint]

If it`s a boring museum pose i`ll pass on that one also.
That pose with one arm out has been done to death.

hopefully he will have his staff and it wont be the one arm out pose...

[Vracula]

i really dont like all the classic style stuff.its a quite boring for me.thats cause i havent read a thor comic book in my life.but i will have to agree with boonie on this one this is seriously an amazing sculpt.well done martin if i had more money i would have bought this one.


but boonie the HH daredevil is innovative so stop laughing:stick: :stick:

no thank you ! Not for me :(

[devlinboy]

the sculpt is amazing, like i said before its the color choices that im not feeling much. i do like the look of the statue but i would prefered it to be based color wise on esad ribic's art. even in ribic's art i thought thor had a cape.i happen to like both the golden age style thor and the modern thor(at least this modern thor)

[Makkari1]

That will never be in my collection it`s a great sculpt but it doesn`t look like any Thor or Loki I know.:thumbsdow

I feel you on that.

I've never understood what those 4 round things on his nice, muscular chest are...Can anybody enlighten me? What's their function?

[sandoverde]

I don't think I've ever been underwhelmed by a piece as much as this one. I don't care how nice the sculpt is (and it IS nice), it just isn't the iconic Thor. All of you defending this piece have to at least acknowledge that. The worst thing is now that this piece is done, the people who really wanted an iconic Thor VS Loki piece from Sideshow will now almost certainly never get one. Why would you choose something like this from a character with 40+ years history just baffles me. How many of you would be happy if there had been an issue of "WHAT IF Silver Surfer had chosen a lawn tractor instead of a board?" and that is the statue Sideshow chose to make?

Rant over....

They're not only on his chest, but I have no idea what they are. I just always assumed it was a Greek God fashion statement.

I think you are correct. But, may have been waiting for this. I won't get it as I'm not into the dioramas.

It's true, but the same was the case with the x-men vs sentinel #1 and is the case with #2, but these sold out immediately and keep increasing value. It has become kind of a trademark that in the versus dioramas it the classic characters are not perse classicly depicted. However, they are classic characters which are very nicely brought into 3D and sideshow brings you, I think, an unique possibility to have a quality piece of cool characters in your collection.

[ecthelion]

up for pre-order, people.

ordered, btw. Cool.

The difference in the Xmen VS is miniscule compared to this Thor Vs. Cyclops' outfit is different, but Colossus still looks the same. The Wolverine and Captain America VS pieces are both the iconic versions, so the only statue to veer into weird territory is this one. Happy for those that like it but its a shame what we'll never get now.

Rant over....
This is the stupidest comment to date

I’ll give you merit that you referred to it as a rant as I have ranted before just has many of us have.

Look at sideshows history
First they Release a VS and then shortly after you get a PF
You'll get a classic Thor PF soon

Captain America vs. stinked, it came out before the cap pf statue
Hulk vs Spidey came out before the hulk and spidey pf’s
all the VS statues came out before the full sized statues, except the sentinel statues.

So what we're sell outs because we like Ribic's artwork? And we choose to love this amazing statue.
Were not going to support it because they haven’t payed homage to the original characters design yet?
gimmi a break man
you’re a fool to have posted something so stupid as this

“Why would you choose something like this from a character with 40+ years history just baffles me. How many of you would be happy if there had been an issue of "WHAT IF Silver Surfer had chosen a lawn tractor instead of a board?" and that is the statue Sideshow chose to make? “

You're getting carried away with the tractor nonsense. There’s no rubber chicken in Thors hand is there?

To some people the Hulk vs Spidey was out of wack the Hulks face was exaggerated and they only take this style in the modern comics.
You didn’t hear them complain, and the ones who didn’t like it I guarantee bought the Hulk PF.

Yes you will never get a classic thor vs loki statue from ss, you will get a classic thor PF, and you wont be complaining then. Is that the end of the freaking world like what? We’re sell outs because why buy this? I have 2 Classic thor statues, I love the old design but it’s been done to death so this is a good break from it. On the other side there are lots of people who love Ribic’s artwork, that being said it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t buy a classic Thor vs, if its good I’m a buy it. What you’re saying is just wrong, think of it this way if SideShow one day in heaven does DC and they do a Jim Lee style Batman vs Joker, are you going to be pissed that we don’t have a classic Batman designed PF yet? No! you’re going to love it because Jim Lee’s batman is probably one of the best there is. And it that rare situation if they actually choose to do a classic batman after Jim’s I’m sure the Vs sculpture will be the favored one.

You won’t get a Thor vs Loki in classic style, just like those of us who wanted a good venom vs spidey in McFarlane style or a wolverine vs saber tooth in a modern suits, some people dislike the old brown. They are simply saving the classic Thor suit for the PF, this way they get as many possible variations of the character out, for some weirdo who hates the old suit and likes Ribics, he is at benefit here. But for the most part people who like that style of artwork are at benefit here. And the list of reasons to like this statue can go on, anatomy, dynamic posing it’s a break from the regular design but in No Way does that make me or anyone who buys this a sell out. You will get a Classic Thor Pf, just wait for it.

[sandoverde]

Wow, BBCseneca , over react much? :stick:

Where did I indicate that I thought people who bought this were "sell outs"?? If you like, great. I'm happy for you.

But I am also sick to death of hearing the whole "just wait, you'll get your Classic Thor PF soon" argument thrown out like a bone.
A Thor PF is not a Thor VS diorama.


And its so nice you have to resort to personal insults like stupid and fool on a forum based on comic book statues.

[ecthelion]

So an anabolic Cap and a colossus with love-handles are mainstream? Right.....

well thats certainly the idea you're sending with a statement like this:

Why would you choose something like this from a character with 40+ years history just baffles me. How many of you would be happy if there had been an issue of "WHAT IF Silver Surfer had chosen a lawn tractor instead of a board?" and that is the statue Sideshow chose to make?

calling you a fool for saying something like that is not meant to be a personal attack, but take it how you will. I guess I should have said: fool-ish?

Whats the reason to complain that you will never get a classic Thor vs Loki Pf. Does that mean the people who didnt get the classic Wolverine CC are moaning?
Like you cant have everything.
and you cant expect sideshow to give less variety just because some people dont like the new artwork, they need the variety this way people who want one or the other at least end up buying one. This way with people like you who dislike the modern style end up buying a classic thor pf, and the people who dislike the old style end up buying the vs. This way they satisfy both audiences, SS isnt about selling out they sell out the majority of the time there goals now are to bring in customers who will appreciate the work they are doing and buy statues that they normally wouldnt buy from them. For example I dont like the terminator movies but I just bought the bust because its an amazing quality peice, the character design is amazing and this probably going to be the best statue there is on the market

[sandoverde]

So an anabolic Cap and a colossus with love-handles are mainstream? Right.....


Sigh......

You are making fun of the sculpt itself, not the artwork or the characters. Cap and Colossus LOOK LIKE Cap and Colossus. I say again, the sculpt on Thor VS is great!

And BBCseneca, I guess we'll just agree to disagree. The Silver Surfer comment was over the top, and it was meant to be...
Too bad you think a sense of humor is a sign of foolishness. You should try it more often.

[DSET]

Lol my bad:banghead:

I'm just soo damn hyper today because of all the pre-ordering

I still have to disagree. They could've picked the more mainstream style for the x-men vs, but they didn't. Come on, the x-men vs #2 has a beast that doesn't look like the beast a lot of people know, which is because it was based on other artwork. so, not making fun of the sculpt, but of the artwork.


Noooooo, I'm not making fun of anything. I think all the vs statues are awesome, I'm just giving arguments why they aren't mainstream. Almost got me there. Hehe.

[statman]

This is a great looking sculpt. Too bad it's not of the classic versions of the characters. EASY pass for me. Hopefully SS will come out with a Classic Thor PF in the near future.
