Snapshot: Modern X-men Display

     It's time for another Snapshot post, where I post crappy flash photography shots of various parts of my collection, to wet the appetite of those that can't wait for me to properly document it.

     Eventually I would like to post my entire collection at once, but I figured in light of the recent modern additions I would provide a brief glimpse into the modern display I have set up in my X-lair. By "modern" I mean versions of X-men statues that represent their styles from roughly the year 2000 on.

     I want to mention that it is difficult to light the room where I have my statues since I am currently still living the life of a student and don't have the sort of space I would like to spread my collection out. Thus the photos are just a snapshot, using flash photography, of the display. I hope the effect of the awesomeness of the display comes through though. Enjoy!

Now that would make a great modern museum pose Rogue!  Non chere?

Scarlet Witch Statue by Bowen Designs

     In light of the fact that it has been recently announced by Joss Whedon himself that the Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver will be in the Avengers 2 film, I thought I would introduce you to the most amazing representation of Wanda Maximoff to ever be carved out of polystone.

The Wolverine (Film) - Statues Options?

I'm thinking that the upcoming The Wolverine might have some pretty cool statue potential.  I would love a Sideshow Collectibles premium format figure  of Logan.

That Would Make A Great..."Uncanny X-men (v3) #3" Edition

This is the first installment of what I hope will be a regular Blog feature, "That Would Make A Great..." in which I post images from new X-men comics that I've read recently that I think would make a great statue... bust... blow up doll...whatever have you.

First up is this rendition of Magneto in his new duds by the legenday Chris Bachalo.  I think the statue would need to be a little less stylized, but I think this would certainly make a great statue.

Of course, if you don't agree with me you can always...

The Journey Begins

Hello all!  I have been into the X-men since I was about 14 years old.  I got into collecting statues about 3 years ago and have not looked back since.  I have about 50 statues that I've managed to acquire that I thought I would share with you here.  I'm going to start with posting some pics of the the Bowen Warpath statue that was released this week.  Eventually I'll post pics of my entire collection.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
     To give you a brief glimpse into what's to come, I present to you the trailer for my youtube channel, Dr. Remy Lebeau's X-lair!
