Premium Format Apocalypse PF

[Mister Ski]

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

The word "grail" gets thrown around too freely IMO. A grail to me is the Dr Doom PF EX or the Grey and Green Hulk PFs and the X-Men #1 Dio EX. The Cap PF EX is a borderline grail. I don't think anything Sideshow produces nowadays will ever reach grail status because of two factors: 1.) the edition sizes are higher and 2.) the quality is lower.

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

This is the Apocalypse that I'd like to see.

He's got chicken legs in that sculpt.

TOY BIZ really missed the ball there. It's not the 90s anymore, 20 years have passed and Comiquettes mostly deviate from the classic 90s era whereas Premium Formats are true to the fan's choice. I doubt we'll see a premium format statue of Apocalypse (how can we?) ..

Its safe to guess that Hasbro's latest Apocalypse figure is the incarnation we'll see...

I prefer this one since he was due for an overhaul (first appearance was 1986).

Disagree about several points. Edition sizes haven't risen that much. Doom was 1500 total (slightly lower compared to today) and Cap was 1975 (higher than most ES today). I don't really see the decrease in quality. Are you talking about a drop in paint?

Couldn't agree more regarding how silly "grail" gets thrown around though. The statue hasn't been shown and it is already being mentioned as a grail

Look, I only meant that with the combo of Gore group sculpting a 24" (1/4 scale), 100% polystone Apocalypse (?)......................Yeah, I meant it may reach epic grail status. Get ready to be knocked on your a$$.

P.S. Based on the recent Gore group/ Olivetti releases; Spidey, Carnage, Venom, Hulk, Punisher...............I don't think grail sounds silly at all.

You can't lump the EX in the the Regular editions. Doom ES was 500 for the EX, Cap ES was 875 for the EX and this is why I said in my post that Cap only might be considered a grail. His ES is fairly high. As far as quality goes, paint is part of it, but the solid/heaviness of the Doom and Hulk pieces convey quality to me, rather than a hollow lightweight piece.

But none of those are grails.

BTW, "Epic" tends to be the second most overused word on these forums.

I think the word "grail" gets thrown around alot because people have different sought after pieces & regarding Sideshow pieces from before compared to what's being produced now. I'd have to agree with Mr. Ski as to how Sideshow has produced & maintained quality. As once said "The Golden Age" of Sideshow.

It's not the 90s anymore, 20 years have passed and Comiquettes mostly deviate from the classic 90s era whereas Premium Formats are true to the fan's choice. I doubt we'll see a premium format statue of Apocalypse (how can we?) ..

The art/costume/interpretation of Apocalypse differs from artist to artist.

Tied with the word "FAIL".

Hey man, give them a little time to reach grail status. They have only been released in the past year?! Already their value has doubled & tripled, & collectors are starting to realize how great these sculpts truly are. So.................................................wait for it.

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

I'm all over this like white on my ass boys. This piece is going to be an EPIC GRAIL 1/4 SCALE OR FAIL!!!!!

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

A lot of people talked to Olivetti in Chicago and he said that he's still working on Apocalypse, but is almost done. However, the piece that is all done and completed is the Skaar PF. Will most likely get both.

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

I like this look but I'm not sure I want the comiquette based on it. I'm just hoping w/e design they go with doesn't have the ridiculous "A" on the belt buckle. (the buckle above plays it off pretty well.)

Haha that would make an awesome display

Really looking forward to Apocalypse!! Hope the style at least goes well with the current x-men PFs.

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

This should turn out great. Even if you are not a fan of AO's art, the Gore group will nail this. The Venom art print wasn't really anything special and look what they turned that into. I have total faith that this will be a very special piece when it's released. The Gore group haven't missed in this line yet. I don't expect them to start with Apocalypse.

 

[Awesome]

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette

The only Marvel character I want in 1/4 form is Omega Red.

Re: Apocalypse Comiquette
