Just another nerd.
This is a New 52 Shazam statue from ArtFX due for release at the end of the year. This thing is freaking hideous. It looks like Captain Marvel’s undergone a few too many plastic surgeries or something. And seriously with those boots…really?
This is, however, a pretty good reimagining of a young Liberace as a vampire.
For the most part, I have absolutely no interest in and do not understand the appeal of superhero statutes. Action figures, yes; statues, no.
Occasionally, though, a company like Kotobukiya comes out with something like this amazing Deathstroke statue and the fanboy in me is all like “Daaaamn…hide my wallet.”
Deathstroke is one of the best villains/anti-heroes in the DC Universe, and this statue really does him justice.
DC has decided to create a line of statutes of its female superheroes in the style of 1940s and 1950s pinups which it is calling its “Bombshells” line. Maybe its just me, but this “Bombshells” Wonder Woman is just plain awful looking. Do not want.
I’m not a big Disney fan, but this porcelain statue of Mickey Monster from the Runaway Brain short is pretty cool.
Sideshow Collectibles is planning to release this limited edition Planet of the Apes Dr. Zaius statue in the second quarter of 2009. Very nice looking, but out of my league at almost $300.
