Well, it starts with a love affair…with comics! I was a comic collector nerd growing up. The passion transferred to statues as an adult.
This introduced me to the concept of sculpture which I later took up as a way to de-stress from my daily job. I helped out a few statue collecting forum friends with some re-sculpts and repairs and word kind of spread from there, I guess…

Mostly statue collecting forums like Statueforum, StatueMarvels, Sideshow Freaks, Marvel Customs(french forum), The Clubhouse etc. One of my sculpts won a Daily Deviation award on Deviant art and that kind of added to my notoriety lol. It was this one: http://riteguytu.deviantart.com/art/HELA-finished-148659639

Hard to say. The piece with the most nostalgia associated with it would be the Storm sculpt I made for my wife: http://riteguytu.deviantart.com/…/Wind-rider-painted…
The most memorable so far would have to be the frost giant sculpt: http://orig10.deviantart.net/6c46/f/2015/068/3/3/ymir_frost_giant___painted__by_riteguytu-d8l2sot.jpg 
It was my first time molding and casting in clear resin(which is notoriously temperamental). I learned a ton on that one.

Prime 1 new teasers!

3 Comments

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Here is the latest teaser of the Prime 1 Studio Bane Statue. Prime 1 revealed that this Batman: Arkham Origins Statue will be part of their Museum Masterline 1/3 Scale Arkham Origins collection. This will stand at over 40″ tall, making it the biggest in the collection.

Personally I would love Sideshow to work on a 1/4 comic book Premium Format or a 1/4 scale Tom Hardy, but it is great to finally see one on the big companies giving Bane some love.

Here is also the Arkham Knight teaser.. With talks of a Joker and Harley Quinn any collector collecting this line will need a big display.

Enjoy 🙂

Back in January 2015 Geo received his Red Hulk Premium Format statue from Sideshow Collectibles. It looked decent and I have been waiting for my Green version ever since.

It was due in March.. Then it was delayed a little… Then a little more… Now 7 months after and still no shipping email Sideshow have released some new in hand photos of the green beast and I am actually happy I did not cancel, as I told myself on many occasions I would.

Now I have to work out when to display this huge piece…

Deadpool Custom 1/4 Scale Statues

[av_heading tag=’h3′ padding=’10’ heading=’Introduction’ color=” style=” custom_font=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ custom_class=”][/av_heading]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
With the Disney holding back on many of the merchandise licences from the Marvel characters it currently does not have the movie rights for, this has opened the statue market up for custom statue makers to supply the goods that companies like Sideshow, Kotobukiya, Primeone, Xm Studios… are restricted with. This can be the licencing side, but also this can be the creative side. I believe that now Disney owns Marvel the days of seeing Wolverine with a cigar in his mouth are long gone. Even Disney were said to have told to remove a wine glass from the amazing upcoming Medusa piece.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
Fox had some terrible reviews of it’s recent release on the re hashed Fantastic4 movie (which I personally refuse to watch until it is on Netflix and there is really nothing else to watch!) which caused an uproar from fans for FOX to return the movie rights back to Disney, even resulting in a few online petitions on social media. But then there is the up and coming Deadpool movie to be released in February 2016. This movie looks like it will be a hit and it Disney had the movie rights for this it would never have been lined up to received an R rating (15 or 18 in uk) and would have resulted in the movie being a more family friendly movie not worthy of the Deadpool character.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
As in most situations when the movie is released the statues for these piece shoot up in price. I was offered an EX Sideshow collectibles Red Deadpool shortly after release for cost, but now you are looking at over double the original sales price for this piece. There is the option for the currently more affordable Grey X-Force variant, which is still a great piece to have in your collection, but I will always lean to the Red or even consider having the Grey custom painted Red.

This takes me to two amazing customs of Deadpool I have seen floating around on social media. I know I am not allowed to say this and I will cover it with in the piece descriptions, but with both pieces being “Throne” pieces and 1/4 scale they would both fit nicely into my collection, or I would make them.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
First off we have this awesome piece by Xionart. I have been lucky enough to have been receiving updates on this piece as they happened. Sneak peeks of sketches and snippets of information regarding the elements making up the very detailed base, to the extra heads and even the Dog-pool that attaches to the base. I have to say at times it was hard for me to keep my mouth shut. This piece is loosely based on the “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe”. The concept of a marvel character sitting of a pile of heroes chopped to pieces I believe could only be pulled off by Deadpool without seeming too grim.

I will be adding the new photos of the Throne and the final painted piece once they are released. If you look in the Gallery of this you can see how huge the final piece will be.

If this is done correct this piece is going to be epic on so many levels. I am super excited to see this complete.

Pre-orders begin on September 1st 2015 and only on Xion’s Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1619511721629568/

Physical Attributes

Height – 6’1″

Weight – 179 lbs.

Eyes – Burning red

Hair  – (Originally) Brown; white(as Death)

Powers – Gambit has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy upon touching it. When Gambit thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact. Gambit is unable to use this power to charge living objects. / As Death: He can control deadly gas

After surgery performed by Mister Sinister, Gambit’s powers were restored to their natural potential. He was able to use his power simply by looking at an object that he wished to charge, including living tissue. Gambit could also manipulate the potency of the energy release and could even exercise a measure of control over time. Following his climactic battle with the New Sun, Gambit lost this enhanced level of power.

Gambit’s ability to tap energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity, as well as creating a static interference that shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths.

Gambit also possesses a hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit’s charm.

Abilities – Gambit is bilingual in English and French, and also possesses the ability to throw small objects – including knives, throwing spikes, and playing cards – with extraordinary accuracy. He is also a skilled duelist and fencer.

Paraphernalia – Gambit often wields playing cards and telescopic bo staff.

Weight – 250 lbs., (transformed) 500 lbs.

Eyes – Blue, (transformed) Silver

Hair – Black

Powers – Colossus can transform his body tissue into an organic, steel-like substance that grants him superhuman strength enabling him to lift/press up to 75 tons and makes him impervious to most injury. His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted, or not at all. Even his eyes become steel-like. Through an act of will, Colossus can transform virtually instantaneously into his armored state, and can remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. Once in his armored form, Colossus remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. In his armored state, Colossus retains his normal human mobility, though his endurance and speed are enhanced. He does not need to breathe while transformed, but it is believed that he could not survive for long in a vacuum.

Abilities – Colossus is talented in drawing and painting.
