Sideshow Collectibles Rogue Adam Hughes Comiquette Review
Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Statues
I was so close to skipping the Sideshow Collectibles Rogue comiquette when I saw the pictures on their site. It had such potential and the artwork it was based off of was gorgeous, as well as being as favourite Marvel lady. When I received it, did it impress? Check my review to find out!
If you look at my photos, you’ll see the glove doesn’t go quite between her fingers. This is a known issue with this statue. It can be fixed by heating the glove and adjusting it carefully. I didn’t have the space in my room to display it so I didn’t want to fool around with it just yet.
About my earlier point, the Sideshow photography. While it was competent, the main issue was it gave a poor impression of her face. The print has a gorgeous smile. They made the statue appear to have a bit of an evil smirk. In person, while it does have a bit of that smirk, I’m happy to report there’s a solid smile there.
It’s surprising to see an Adam Hughes piece with so much clothing. In this case, a welcome addition. It’s appropriate for Rogue and it’s a striking piece. One of the most eye-catching statues I’ve ever seen. Light bounces off of it in very appealing ways.
The sculpting is spot on. The only issue that I would bring up is the smile and even that’s not bad. The elaborate base is fantastic, both the bricks and the destroyed wall. Rogue’s pose is cute, yet shows off her power. The sculpting on the hair, hands, gloves, all of that stuff looks good.
No issues with the paint whatsoever. Vibrant, colourful, spot on. As mentioned before, such an eye-catching piece. No paint drips or detail problems.
4.5/5. The face issue practically prevented me from buying this statue, so it’s not a surprise I’m deducting .5 because the face isn’t perfect. It’s good, but man, if it matched the print it’d be an even more knockout piece.
Buying Options : Off to Ebay you go, I recommend the exclusive. Amazon is overpriced at the moment, but check back later.
