Spidey Showdown

Usually I don't pay much attention to statues from Diamond Select (DST), but this piece did caught my eye. DST's Marvel Milestones Showdown Spider-Man Statue (official name of the statue). I find that the sculptor, Jean St Jean, totally nailed McFarlane's version of Spidey (although I not really a fan of that version)! I just love the sculpt & pose of Spidey, who looks just like straight out of the panels of the comic (I can almost see the Spider-Sense lines coming out of his head). Complete with a cool base which depicts the defeat of Green Goblin (Damaged Glider), Hobgoblin (Pumpkin bombs) & Doctor Octopus (Tentacles)! This statue is also quite huge in size, roughly 12 inches tall.

Here's the photos:
(sadly, new statue but still no new camera :P )
























For size reference, that's a Transformers Revoltech Convoy in front of the box!

The Undead Colonel

From pages of the popular Marvel Zombies mini-series, comes this SDCC Exclusive Colonel America Bust by Diamond Select. Dead & Zombie-fied, Colonel America is nicely sculpted in all his gory by William Paquet. The paint is also satisfactory, especially the gloss used on the bloody areas for a "moist" effect. As for why is he called Colonel America & not Captain? & why the Colonel is missing part of his head? Go read the comic! *Spoiler: He did it to himself (in a way). lol

Also bought a new Marvel Zombies T-Shirt to commemorate the new purchase.



Much thanks to Ann for hooking me up with the bust!
