Get what? A classic Scarlet Witch? They have done her as a comiquette and premium format already. Why would it only be in the Avengers Assemble line?

If you look at Sideshow.com, go to Shop and narrow down to just Marvel Premium Format or Maquette, the majority of statues they currently have in stock are close to comic accurate. Dr. Strange, Rogue, Juggernaut, brown Wolverine, Miles, Gambit, Cable, Jean, Spider-Man, etc...most of the X-Men’s costumes have a basis in a comic costume except X-23.

If we look at specifically the last several Avengers or related PFs, there isn’t much, but Thor and Taskmaster are pretty comic accurate, whereas Captain America and Black Widow were purely figments of Sideshow’s imagination. Gladiator Hulk is somewhere in between.

So it’s actually hard to pinpoint what this Scarlet Witch could be wearing. It’s easier to predict X-Men 1/4s but not so much for Avengers.

Exactly, we all know Sideshow likes to be random and they don't always go with what is or could be popular.

I could be wrong but I think what he’s referring to is that the Avengers Assemble line has mainly been costumes inspired by the classic looks. Under that logic we’d be more likely to see a classic Scarlet Witch there than a PF. Sounds reasonable, but also, applying logic to Sideshow isn’t reasonable in itself. Lol.

Yeah that doesn't mean anything. Sideshow still uses all the Jim Lee costumes on the X-line and he hasn't illustrated them since 1992. It would make sense to put the modern design on the PF and the classic in the Avengers Assemble line. But Sideshow decisions rarely make sense.

I like what XM did with their piece.



If Sideshow can get the face right and keep the classic costume this could be a winner.

Funko nailed it.

Geez, that really puts it into perspective. I’ve heard that the Jim Lee X-Men fandom is almost cult-like. I have no idea if that’s true, but apparently it’s true for SS since they keep on with his costumes lol.
