Whoever approved this MAGNIFICENT sculpt to be 1/5 and not 1/4, should be Monday morning in Sideshow's CEO office to apologize.

This Maria's masterpiece NEEDED to be 1/4.

Sideshow even had the numbers of the (future Grail) Fastball Special where the 1/4 outsold the 1/5.

The market at the crazy prices of 2024 needs SIZE to justify a purchase. Collectors need SIZE to justify spending 700-750 bucks for a piece.

If this Gambit/Rogue diorama were 1/4, it would have sold twice as many.

Maria GOATed here but the decision to offer it in 1/5 is nuts!

I agree that a 1/4 version of this would be pretty popular.

I think I'd gain points with you by saying that Star Wars Crystallized Relic Arsham line is crap too (but I think that is pretty much everyone's opinion except for Sideshow's CEO).

Do not remind me of that ABOMINATION of a line.

That was Sideshow's rock bottom. A company and a CEO living in an alternate reality.

My crusade here where i wrote HARSH words for Sideshow's CEO, i bet that it was carried to him.

The failure of this line of that PSEUDO-ARTSY guy (we can analyze it another day) was Sideshow's CEO "wake-up call". He then took a broom and cleaned the mess.

1 year later and Sideshow is operating like a normal company.


I also like the decision to NOT attend SDCC. Sideshow is losing money attending Cons.

SDCC is basically for Tubers. To wander all day around Sideshow's booth in order to make videos and make money from views or going viral.

Sideshow should cut ALL ties with Tubers. She should let her products speak for themselves. As we all see, when the product is good, no-matter-what a random Tuber says, it will sell.

Tweeterhead took her lesson by relying on Tubers and their "influence" which is basically NON-EXISTENT.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

why can't they get the amount of Rogue's white hair right. I always have the need to repaint her hair to add more white parts. LOL.

That’s the thing I hate most about this piece. Serious lack of white hair.

That is one of Rogue's iconic feature. I can't believe they always miss that part.. A bit irritating to be honest.

What's worse, a lack of white hair, or the right amount but with purple/pink highlights

I think that av1/4 scale will be shown/teased at San Diego Comic Con this year.

Along with the Mystique.
