Bowen Designs sneaks a new Deadpool action statue

Here’s a look at the upcoming Bowen Designs Deadpool action statue! Definitely has good potential since that pose is well done though I wonder if it can beat Kotobukiya’s excellent recent effort?

Sideshow Collectibles sneaks their upcoming Deadpool Premium Format statue

Dr_Teng — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:29:59 +0000

Not a character I’d buy a Premium Format for but Deadpool certainly does have a dedicated fanbase. An unmasked exclusive head for this one could be really impressive!

Gentle Giant Deadpool with Scooter statue sneak peek

I’ve only seen this in one forum so far and some people were confused, why Deadpool with a goofy scooter and giant gun?? Well, read the comics. I don’t even like the character much and it’s the sculpting makes it obvious it’s playing to his humorous side, which was the entire reason he stood out as a character for years. Deadpool was crazy, ridiculous, and had lots of good lines. So here’s a representation of that in statue form. No other details yet!

Kotobukiya Deadpool statue sneak peek

This one has been in the works for a long time, the Kotobukiya Deadpool statue. I wasn’t aware it was supposed to be part of the Danger Room line, but apparently it is! I gotta say, this is looking fantastic for an action pose. It’s supposed to have switch-out arms as well and the MSRP was surprisingly cheap, around $160 for a 1/6th statue. I’m a little tired of the overexposure of Deadpool, but this one might just end up in my collection.

Kotobukiya was just showing off this concept art for their upcoming Deadpool statue. It’s going to have arms you can switch out, not sure which ones you’ll get though.

Marvel/DC Siege/Blackest Night Cover Fight

Dr_Teng — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:36:06 +0000

I’ve been reading a little bit about this, Marvel did something that could’ve been seen as a pretty funny rival move, but they’re playing it up a bit too much and coming off as kind of dicks in the matter.

Marvel to trade 1 exclusive cover version of Siege #3 for every 50 ruined cover versions of DC Blackest Night comics
Exclusive cover revealed

Alright, so the initial move, the 50 covers bit, that’s pretty funny. But this quote and the cover itself are kind of bullshit.

We’re doing this because we’re in the business of selling content rather than Cracker Jack prizes.

A nice burn…but how many variant covers does Marvel release of every single big issue comic now? 3? I’ve seen some of their comics with a good 5 variant covers. A quick google search shows there’s been some weeks where half of Marvel’s releases are variant covers.

I think you’d find more people are interested in cracker jack power rings than they are a sketch cover of Colossus flexing or whatever.

Here’s some of the highlights. If you’d prefer to read the full thing, here’s the link :

Sideshow’s “Ask Sideshow” Feature

At Comic-Con, you unveiled plans to produce a 20+ inch Optimus Prime maquette. Are there others in the works such as Ravage, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Sideswipe, Arcee, Megatron, The Fallen, Soundwave, etc.? Does the license pertain strictly to the Transformers sequel or will considerations be taken for the first movie for characters such as Blackout, Bonecrusher or Jazz?

At this time, we are only in development on the Optimus Prime maquette. We have discussed concepts for several other characters and product types, but we’re not ready to share those ideas just yet! We’ll let you know how things develop!

Would you consider creating another statue of the original Predator? I revisit the PF/maquette version that you created a few years ago, and I am still amazed at how beautiful and detailed it was. No on else has come close the quality that you bring to this subject/character, and I am sure I am not alone in this opinion and request!

Absolutely – the original Predator will reappear in full-bodied form, in some format, at some point.

As a follow up to your beautiful Predator 1 life-size bust, is there any chance that fans will get a Predator 2 bust in the near future? If so, I would love to see a closed mandible sculpt that has a more aggressive look!

Yes, we do plan to release a Predator 2 Life-Size Bust. We’ll pass along your facial expression suggestion!

I was wondering if Sideshow was planning on visiting the Mos Eisley Cantina for future 12” figure ideas? Top picks for me would be first and foremost Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead), Dice Ibegon, Greedo, Ponda Baba, Takeel (Snaggletooth), Wuher, Ackmena and Dr. Evazan. Have any of these been considered for 12″ or are any in development?

Yes, yes and yes. The scum and villainy of Tatooine will likely play an important role in 2010 and 2011, perhaps beyond!

When will the Premium Format Gambit that’s getting all they hype be available? Any chance of a sneek peak soon?

Yes, you’re likely to get a sneak peek very soon! He’s definitely worth the hype! He won’t be the NEXT Premium Format Marvel character to get a full reveal, but he is definitely coming soon.

I love the new Venom Comiquette, whitch brings me to my question. Will we see a Carnage Comiquette treatment soon?

Yes.

Any plans for a Deadpool Premium Format Figure?

Yes, you will see Deadpool in the future, although it’s too early to say whether it will be Comiquette or Premium Format.
