Snapshot: 90's Gold Team Display Update

Although I need to get an Archangel for this display, the new Iceman statue is a great addition.  Don't you think?

Colossus - 80's Custom Statue

     Mr. Rasputin is known in these parts, but introductions are always warranted for the sake of U.S./Russian diplomacy.

That Would Make A Great..."Avengers vs. X-men ( A v X ) " Edition

     A v X was the big Marvel event crossover of 2012.  It's a divisive storyline for comic fans.  Some folks loved it and others thought it was worse than the shit that a shit-monster poops into a bowl of barf (to put it nicely).  Regardless of where you land on this subject, what is undeniable is that there was a lot of really great statue potential in the 12 issue mini-series.  Let's explore some of this potential.

Snapshot - 1/4 Scale Custom Statues

     It's time for another Snapshot post, where I post  shots of various parts of my collection, to wet the appetite of those that can't wait for me to properly document it.  This snapshot is of 4 of the 1/4 scale statues I have displayed with the current addition Bishop.

The only statue of the four that I have posted thus far into my "Collection Post"s is the Bishop statue.  Stay tuned for "Collection Post"s on the other three.

70's X-men Display

     This is the first of the many posts highlighting the displays I've managed to throw together with the various statues I've collected over the years.  The photos you'll see are not of the actual displays, but of the same set ups placed in an area where I can light them better and give the camera a better look.  I want to make sure I can properly show you the displays.

     The first set I am featuring is the 70's X-men display which I have worked hard to perfect.  I felt like I finally got it right about two years ago and haven't changed it since.

Statue Showdown: Kotobukiya vs. Bowen Designs Colossus Statues

     Once again it's time for the statue comparison showdown melee video bonanza you never knew you needed to see.

Warning:  The following video may help you form an opinion you didn't know you needed to form.

That Would Make A Great... "Apocalypse: The Twelve" Edition

     Apocalypse the 12 is the first X-men crossover of the 21st century. It started in Uncanny X-men 376, published in January of 2000. It involved Apocalypse bringing together 12 mutants in an attempt to gain the perfect balance of powers so that he may transfer his essence into one of them. The purpose of this scheme was to allow him to continue his legacy in a new and powerful body. The story's main impact was on Cyclops. This was the first step toward changing Cyclops' character into the revolutionary that he is today. Apocalypse possesses his body (contrary to his plan), and thus affects Cyclops at his core bringing about a new perspective that slowly erods his old ideals and eventually gives character more of a rough edge.

The answer is yes, stereotypically silly Russian muscleman.

That Would Make A Great..."Ultimate X-men 20-24" Edition

For some reason Rogue is always drawn in a way that makes her ripe for the statue inspiration pickings. First off is this image from Ultimate X-men v2 #20
