They look alright. I like the Wolverine one the best from the pics.
Is the Jean Grey out yet? If anyone has seen it, how does it look in person? Thanks.

Just saw Juggy in store today, guess I'll pick it up after all....
not too bad, but the nose of Wolvie looks a bit off....
Storm was sold, Beast was never on my list, and didn't see Phoenix..
I'll pick up Juggy for sure, which has the best likeness and pose IMO. He looks just like the promo pics, very accurate piece.
and saw the Sideshow movie Juggy.....that was huuuuuuuuge! but the LCS didn't open it and want to keep it sealed, so I didn't see the actual piece....

After seeing the movie today, I am now even more disappointed by the missed opportunity of this line. If these had only been 1/6 scale, better actor scans, and more characters this would have been right at the top of the charts.

The dream line -- (1/6 scale and top notch character scans mind you)
Prof X
Jean Grey (Xavier School uniform)/Dark Phoenix variant
Cyclops (Xavier School uniform)
Wolverine (Xavier School uniform)/wifebeater variant
Storm (Xavier Shool uniform, long white hair)
Beast (Xavier school uniform)/business suit variant
Angel (Xavier school uniform) -- yeah I know he never wore one, but so what.
Iceman (Xavier school uniform-iced up)
Rogue (Xavier school uniform)'green cloak/shroud variant from X1
Nightcrawler
Colossus (Xavier school uniform)
Kitty pryde (Xavier school uniform)

The baddies
Magneto
Mystique
Sabretooth
Juggernaut
Pyro (holding floating flame)
Multiple Man

Alas, I think this is a line we'll never see, unless Gentle Giant does their own.

Oh, and a Fantasic Four line would also have been nice.

Nice list, Nexus!
But no more varients...
I personally LOVE the movie version of Colossus! The actor is just the guy! Tall, Strong, and looks like Colossus!
A silver painted movie Colossus would be cool!
But you know, CHROME is always a better option!

I know about the variants. But only listed the ones that really make sense. Companies like these because they make the xtra dough (and nobody milks a variant like GG). The ones I've listed are pretty different takes on the characters (dark Phoenix, biz suit, wifebeater), so one could display as a team, or just have a separate interpretation. Okay, the cloak Rogue could go and not be missed.

C'mon, man! Don't be so aggrasive! People need positive suggestions for improvement..
And the details on the Juggy bust is pretty good.

Juggy is supposed to be in tomorrow. So I wonder if GG or DST is thinking maybe they should have actually come out with a better quality product at 1/6 scale. Talk about a blown opportunity.

There are never postive results when companies produced busts based on movie versions.... this is proof of it
