You're hitting the nail on the head again! I picked and choose the individual pieces I wanted but IMHO some of the pieces only "work" within the realm of the Dio. Wolverine is a prime example of this. Strangely Psylocke and Archangel form a mini dio that looks really good together.

Received my Beast today. Looks good and I really like his action pose. I dont like that the base is larger than the statue 😕
Edit: Now I see why everyone pictures are rotated. This forum doesn't respect picture orientation. Ended up having to upload to imgur first.

Yes the Beast looks very good,but these larger bases have pushed the prices up massively to 1/6 prices,and i don't have unlimited funds in these stricken economic times.
As others have said i'll be very selective what i buy now,because of the increasing prices...the Beast,Archangel,Psylocke,Pyro,Juggernaut,Omega Red being on my radar...and maybe Magneto if i can get it at a decent price.

Thanks for posting pictures. I've been waiting to see some in hand pics or an unboxing video. I think the detail on Beast looks good, but the pose I'm just not sure about. He's up high on the sentinel Dio, and it makes sense, but how do you feel the pose fits on the individual piece? Do you think he seems too low to the ground? Does he seem like he is "scratching" at the Sentinel head, kind of like a dog?

I really like the pose. Its classic beast. A few thoughts: - He is not scratching the head. Its more like he is grasping at it for leverage as his other hand rips out a piece from the sentinel cheek. His hand and knee are embedded in the sentinel as if he jumped on it with lots of force and made a dent. The dent perfectly fits his hand.
- It does feel a bit weird that the head is on the ground and detached. Maybe he rode the head down as it fell??
- The wood flooring is nice, but doesn't match the Professor X piece. The wood is thicker and it has wood subflooring where the Prof X piece has a stone subfloor.
- The piece he ripped out has wires and doesn't actually look like it came out of the hole in the cheek. There is nothing that matches it in that crevasse.

It is the Sentinel Dio's that are driving my interest on this line. Otherwise, I would only be picking a select few. I prefer 1/5 or larger but the nostalgia and presence of having such a Dio is what sells this for me. Could there be more detail in each 1/10 sculpt? Sure, but the real estate is different at this scale. Are some of the pieces better than others? Yes. Together does the whole make for the sum of it's pieces, hellz yeah.
I am in for 2 out of the 3 Dio's and a few proximity pieces. This will be epic when it comes out. But I am ok with the wait and spacing out as this will be blowing holes in the wallet.

Didn't see Silver Samurai coming before some of the other villains. Detail looks awesome. I was guessing Mr. Sinister.
