Character selection sucks guys. Also stop taking so many liberties with the costumes. More often than not it ruins the piece. Example: Green Goblin.

This!

Especially when it’s a character you really want. Obviously I’d buy a Green Goblin. But if it’s not in the look I want I’m not buying it just because it’s Green Goblin. I wanted that last Captain America until I saw the full reveal and he halfway looked like Iron Patriot. I’ll wait for a Classic Wing Headed Cap.

Marvel Avengers:
- Classic Cap (no pouches on his belt)

Marvel X-MEN:
- Classic or modern Storm
- Classic or modern Cyclops (Byrne or Cassaday)
- Classic Nightcrawler (Byrne)

While a decent amount of characters we need would be revisits, there are many fairly popular characters sideshow has flat out neglected over the years. Two Face, Penguin, Riddler, and Nightwing in the Batverse. Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Atom in JLA lineup. Doc Ock, Mysterio, Electro, Sandman, Scorpion, and Vulture in the Spidey line. Nightcrawler, Beast, Angel/Archangel, and Iceman in the X-MEN lineup.

My biggest gripe is when we get the EXACT same costumes on back to back revisits. For example, I don't want or need a Lee Cyclops. The last Cyclops PF was in his Lee costume (just like the 1st one). Why not release the last Cyke PF in his Byrne or Cassaday costume? This way collectors waiting for a Byrne or Cassaday Cyclops get one for their collection. If sideshow wanted to revisit the Lee costume, they could easily do so farther down the line. Ideally, the first Cyclops PF would've been Lee, second one Byrne, third one Cassidy, and a Lee revisit on the 4th one. Do the same thing with characters like Beast and Angel. 1st Beast PF is classic Byrne/Lee, 2nd one Astonishing/Cassaday, 3rd Retro Kirby Beast. Same for Angel (classic, Archangel, Kirby Angel). If sideshow would just mix up the costumes on their revisits and add in a few more first time characters, I would like to think that'd be a win-win for sideshow and their customers.

Yea, I agree. Revisits wouldn't be so bad if they used different costumes. A definite win-win.

And I think SSC underestimates the popularity or salability of some of these characters we listed. I think they'd be surprised how well they will sell ...especially if the sculpt is done really well.

I need a Sandman and Scorpion ASAP. Mostly classic but a splash of modern. Not a Sideshowfied cluster fvck.

Dock ock
Sandman
Scorpion

These characters just look best 100% classic (coming from a guy who usually leans modern)

All I want are all the Teen Titans (Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven. They have Starfire and I could use the new Robin as a substitute). Don’t care what they take inspiration from in terms of looks, but as long as I can have everyone I’ll be happy. The original Teen Titans cartoon is my favorite TV show of all time and I want the main team represented! And like I said, they have a Starfire and Robin, where the f are the rest of them!
