They already did an Astonishing Colossus

The response here wasn’t the greatest

You can’t please everyone but the XM Storm was too flashy

The base was a nice touch but I think Sideshow could do a lot better

And the portrait and hair looked off on XM it also looks like it’s gonna topple over

As for Cyclops I don’t care which iteration the make I’d get it either or

But the first one was good enough



No Lee Storm would be a rip off when every other xlady release was Lee inspired

Also lees first issue was Uncanny XMen 248

Her costume was the traditional thunderbolt suit that evolved into the silver costume

Every other costume change since looked like a rip off of the 1st Appearance costume which had a PF made from

This is actually the very first comic I read

Storm is my everything



Following issues first two pages summed up how I felt about Havok

Mystique nor Domino is Lee inspired. Emma isn't either.

Lee created XMEN vol 2 ground up

Magneto Maquette is Lee inspired

Emma wasn’t even in the series or the cartoon which it seems so far is what this line is going for ie Blue and Gold teams

Domino Cable are stand a lone pieces really that go more with Deadpool

Mystique isn’t the modern version but classic inspired

It’s definitely not gonna be Astonishing since the two other Storm PFs look nearly identical to this



Her Avengers costume was similar to that



Sadly no real innovation of the character until MARVEL NOW

I’d be totally down for this or a variation of this

I wouldn't call Magneto Jim Lee either. It's nothing more than Sideshow's own version of the red and purple costume he's always worn. Wolverine isn't Jim Lee either. Sorry, but IMO the whole line is just a mishmash of Lee inspired, Astonishing inspired and Sideshowfied costumes.

And during the time JL worked on X-Men, Emma was still the White Queen in the Hellfire Club.



She also appeared in the Animated Series during the Phoenix saga episodes.

The Captain Marvel PF looked almost identical to this Lee artwork

I think Sideshow’s take on the costumes is awesome

The colours from the late 80s based on the comics and cartoons is what really drives it home for me

I hope they continue

The costumes for Rogue Maquette Psylocke and Jean looked incredible

I have Psylocke, Jean Grey and Rogue on Preorder. I’d buy the XM Storm but can’t afford 2.5k plus for it. Sideshow really needs to start making the male X-men line. I feel in terms of marvel pieces, they’ve exhausted most of the popular characters.

Recent A list comic characters made outside x-men.

Captain America
Thor
Black widow
Thanos
Daredevil
Punisher
Spider-Man
Hulk - gladiator (Daniel Bell)


Some characters never made or need a revisit

Ghost rider
Iron man
Dr strange
Black panther
Silver Surfer


Now everyone’s opinion is different for A list characters so I pulled this info from ranker.com. This just shows the future sideshow may go if the male X-men isn’t on their priority list.
