Kotobukiya has become very well known in the movie circuit since they partnered with Marvel Studios. They have spent the past several years bringing the studio's comics-to-film heroes, including Iron Man and the Hulk, to life in scaled, collectible statues. Koto's work isn't limited to film work, though, and has fostered a reputation of producing some of the highest quality work available on the collectible market. This month they debuted the latest addition to their Marvel Comics line: the one and only Deadpool!
"The “Merc with a Mouth” is on a rampage! One of the most popular comic book superheroes in the business, Wade Wilson is popping up everywhere! And now he’s taken over Kotobukiya as the next Fine Art Statue in the Marvel Comics Presents collection, Deadpool! Formerly a member of the Weapon X program, Wilson has since struck out on his own as an assassin for hire and independent agent. With his trademark costume, extensive armory, and nonstop witty repartee, Deadpool makes a huge impact wherever he goes.
Never stopping for a moment, Deadpool is posed in the midst of intense action, leaping over a crate with weapons at the ready. His iconic red and black skin-tight costume highlights the mutant assassin’s muscular physique as well as the intense concentration apparent on his face. Deadpool is also laden with his usual assortment of goodies, including the knife sheathed on his left ankle, various waist pouches, and a gun holstered on his right thigh. Depending on what style of fighting you prefer, Deadpool can be outfitted with either set of included arms; one wields his deadly katanas and the other fires intricately detailed Uzis!
Deadpool stands approximately 10 inches tall, leaning over a detailed battle scene complete with crate and even a tiny Deadpool “plush” toy! Sculpted by Erick Sosa and William Valenzuela, the demented yet hilarious assassin is recreated in high quality cold cast porcelain. Get him... before he gets you!"
The statue will be available in stores this December for around $174.99, but you can visit the Kotobukiya pre-order site via the link below to secure yours now.
