astonishing or current costumes would be my preference, anything other than lee would really be a breath of fresh air as far as xmen statues are concerned

Mister H · 03-01-2021, 12:52 PM

I'd vote Astonishing, but when it comes to the X-Men that I'll actually buy, I'm not that picky.

Now that I think about it, I don't like this for Colossus. This looks like @$$.

We have 3 choices for Colossus in 1/4 scale. Sideshow's OG Lee PF, Bel's PF and XM's Colossus. I think both the recent Bel PF and XM's Colossus look phenomenal. I went with Bel's recent PF because I thought it looked great and it was significantly cheaper than XM's Colossus. That said XM's Colossus is very dynamic and looks fantastic.

That costume you posted came later in the Astonishing run. Cassaday's original run on Astonishing X-MEN had a more classic take on Colossus' costume and I think it looked good. If IS is going to do a Astonishing lineup, I'd like to see it based on Cassaday's run. However, a Cockrum/Byrne lineup will always be my 1st choice.

I really like the Bel PF but the XM Colossus doesn't do anything for me. Big part of it is the portrait. Been wavering on the Bel just because of box size vs. what I already have pre-ordered on the Batman side.

I have Rogue and Domino, think the only others that might sway me would be killer designs on new Cyclops, Emma, Magneto, or Gambit. All pretty safe bets, so that's a little troubling, money-wise. Ironically, I really like the new Gambit PF, but thought it was too dynamic for my display. The way I'd want to display him would take up way too much room, width-wise.

You're talking about the greatest portrait to ever grace a Colossus?

Yeah, I got the XM...I'm good on Colossus. I'm honestly not sure which X-Men characters I'd be interested in at 1/4 when I think about it. Maybe a Juggernaut, but that'll be expensive...and big. A Jim Lee Wolverine is a possibility, but it'd have to be pretty great to replace the SS Astonishing. I'd definitely be down for a Mr. Sinister if done right.

I am rooting for The Juggernaut here!

I would be very curious to see what a 1/4 scale statue of the unstoppable force of nature made by Iron Studions would look like.

If they make one,it will be a day 1 pre-order for me.

The Bel Colossus PF is fantastic. One of the best things about it is its relatively small footprint. It doesn't take up much space for such a large character. I really like the XM Colossus. However, it would've been far more expensive and it takes up more space.

As for which characters I would buy...I'd take a classic or Astonishing Cyclops, classic Nightcrawler, and a classic or modern Storm. The only other piece that would hold my interest is a classic Magneto. I have the OG XM Mags on throne but I would love a classic Cockrum/Byrne/Lee styled Mags.

I like a nice calm Colossus, so the Sideshow is great.

Juggernaut is always nice, but a properly-sized one from Iron Studios would be both too big and like $2000. No thanks. Maybe if I develop one of these full basement man caves you see in this hobby.

No idea what the deal is with Mr. Sinister. No statues, no movies (except for that teeny tiny tease/cameo). Very weird.

Ah, I hear you. Yeah...if their Hulk is any indication, Juggernaut would be gigantic. A new box for me to live in, though. It's weird...not like the demand isn't out there for Mr. Sinister. There'll be one at some point, I would imagine. ...I also wouldn't mind seeing them take a swing at Apocalypse.
