That is gorgeous!

[Ironman1188]

I CANNOT be preordered....I must be wined and dined, then $*%$*, just leave my money in the wallet when you leave. :naughty

[Bullseye]

Where my newsletter. :(

[adrijami]

On the Sideshow site!!!

[Ray Villafane]

Just absolutely Incedible!

[Viking28]

I agree Ray! :banana

[pitchin]

Iron man is excellent...just with they'd done more with the base.....it looks plain next to the awesome detail on IM

[Darklord Dave]

I hope they can re-create that metallic finish on the production figures. That looks fantastic. If I didn't know it was polystone I'd swear it was metal.

[One of Nine]

It looks beautiful! This thing should be a must have for any Iron Man fans.

[SpenK]

Order In.................:banana :banana

[kierbaudy]

Should I complain about my lack of money... Iron Man looks great. Sideshow is definately giving Bowen a run for his money. Outstanding marvel pieces with interesting poses, not just standing on some rock ledge or flexing their musles or doing a hail hitler. And, it's so big, I have no room for it. Anyway, hope the edition size is reasonable, preferably on the small side. I'm hoping there's more uniformity in size because all my statues are different sizes.

[Darklord Dave]

I love that these are all in scale - although 1/4 scale is a bit large if there's going to be a lot of them. But I wouldn't have Goblin (or Punisher) any other size and I expect I'll feel the same about the rest.

[Bonehead15]

Eventhough I have no interest in this piece, I have to admit that Iron Man looks great!!:google

If I was a huge Iron Man fan I'd be in heaven.

I know it's been said before but if this had been the old 70's/early 80's suit of armor I might be tempted to buy this. Oh well.

[Shai Hulud]

I wasnt planning to buy this until I saw the pictures!!!!! Wow !!!! Preorder is in.Now as a sometimes completist, ill have to face the dilemma if im buying all the marvel sideshow statue......this is all Iron man 's fault....

[Gruson]

Wish the base had more of a glow like in the drawing. Great piece though.

[AngmarKing]

I wasn't gonna go for it, but the pics changed my mind:google

[FlyAndFight]

I love the the way his armor is recreated. Amazingly beautiful. With that being said, the pose does absolutely nothing for me. The only thing that would have saved it would have been if the base lit up at the cracks where he's punching (as speculated at, for the last several days).

Instead he looks like a defensive lineman to me...

[Darklord Dave]

I'm not sure about the pose either, but I'm glad to see SSC taking some chances with the poses and not just going for the "hero" or maquette-like pose. I know I prefer this pose to just standing and saluting, but if they could have done some sort of flying position it might have been more appealing.

[The Josh]

That's pretty kick ass IMO

[FlyAndFight]

A very good point, Dave. I agree that a generic "arms at waist" super-hero pose would have been boring. I'm just trying to figure out why he would be in this present pose. Why would he be punching the ground?

It's definitely not a fighting pose, per se. Perhaps it's from a comicbook cover drawing. That would make more sense.

[moebius9]

I wasn't sold until I saw it as well. My order is in!

Yet, I too think the pose is just a little over-the-top. Still, it's a fantastic piece.

[The Josh]

I went ahead and placed an order for the exclusive. Not 110% sure I'll keep it but it's pretty freaking sweet.

[screamingmetal]

This is one freaking sweet as hell statue! It looks absolutely beautiful! :drool
I'm a Iron Man fan, he's was my first favorite superhero, and the first comic I ever bought was an Iron Man comic. I haven't bought as many Iron Man comics in recent years, the writing just never interested me that much.
I have to have this statue, I just hope that by the time it ships I will have saved up enough to cover it's cost. (Bites nails)

As for why he's hitting the ground, maybe he just flew down and tried to punch a bad guy who just jumped out of his way? Makes sense to me.

Now I wonder if this is cool enough to get Ironman1188 to place an order for a Premium Format sized figure?

[Darklord Dave]

I think the "just landed" explanation is as good as any. Also a large number of mundane criminals and he's causing a mini-tremor to destabilize them all.

[Bullseye]

Great piece. Ordered without hesitation.

[The Ugly Uruk]

Fly and Fight it is indeed from a cover. The Invincible Iron Man 76 to be precise. The very same image by Adi Granov.

[Bullseye]

You ordering this CB?

[noelleon69]

From the pics on the site, the armour looks very shiny. It is supposed to be like that? I thought his armour isnt glossy.

But to get that effect from polystone.. wow.

Thanks for the info, TUU!! Now it makes perfectly good sense.

EDIT: And I just pre-ordered the exclusive and got a hold of this same issue of the comicbook! I plan on framing it and hanging it next to the statue. Should look cool!

[Darklord Dave]

I don't care if the shininess is accurate to the outfit, it really sells this guy for me. I wasn't sure about it from just the comic pic, but the photos sold me.

Notice most of the Marvel figures are crouching in some way? Is this a very clever attempt to get them into sizes that can fit on standard shelves? Or did it just work out that way?

[shaithis77]

Uh, yeah! We were being clever!

Yeah...that's it...

[The Ugly Uruk]

Bulls, seriously considering it even though I don't have the room for it. At 14 inches and in this pose no less! That's one big piece. The armour on this thing is amazing. At first it looked too me that he was skinny, especially in the legs. But it's really growing on me. And I'm not even that big a fan of IM. Tony always really annoyed me.:D
Fly&Fight: Nice idea! That will look cool together displayed.

[BillDoor]

I think this is a fantastic statue, and I'd love to own it, but my wife has said No, under no uncertain terms. Too many LOTR statues already, and she's worried what will happen if I start collecting another line. I tried convincing her that I could keep a Marvel collection to just 4 or 5 characters, but she doesn't believe me (and she's probably right).

Oh well, maybe later in life. For those who get it, enjoy. Looks amazing. I'd love to frame the comic and hang that above the statue.

[LOTRSWfan]

Uh, yeah! We were being clever!

Yeah...that's it...


LOL

I just got my order in, and I am not even a big Iron Man fan! I think this statue looks amazing!

Bring on the Spider-man statue!

[kierbaudy]

I'm getting it... although I like the originality of the pose for a comic statue, my complaint is that he does look like he is in a roller derby or as someone said, a linebacker. If the blue light was more prominent, then it would have really highlighted the statue. Dave's idea of the blue light for the exclusive would have been preferable over the change-o-head.

[Darklord Dave]

I'd have loved for a light version too - but I'm sure it would have added $100-150 to the cost. So I'm happy to have him so cheaply.

(and I remember the time when I didn't buy a LotR Balrog - $300 for a collectible? You're crazy!)

[Gruson]

I like it BUT the more I look at it, the more it does not seem like Iron Man.

It really looks like a futuristic football player or something....

Bowen's looks better IMO:

[Mithrandier]

This piece is amazing. I was not sure why they named it a comiqutte from the start and was a little afraid of what it was going to be. But to me it looks like a diorama.

[pitchin]

Maybe it's called Comiquette because it's an interpretation of an image straight from comic book page to polystone

[occulum]

Im a bigger fan of the classic suit also, but this piece is SO nice!
the only one ... tiny thing Id change is that the broken ground is sort of coming up to the fist as opposed to the fist punching into the ground.

outside of that picky observation, its beeyooo-tiful!

[Darklord Dave]

As much as I might have preferred the traditional costume, after seeing the SSC one I can't imagine it any other way. I also prefer the dynamic pose.

I guess they coined a new term because while it fits in with the Marvel PFs, it's not mixed media and thus doesn't fit the description of the Premium Format.

[Mithrandier]

Since they are doing something like the comiquette, I have one for them, even though he probably has more statues & busts out there than anyone. In Wolverine #75, he pops his claws for Jubilee while talking with her at the base of a tree. It shows him looking through his bone claws. This would be great, for me anyways. I know that there are other great artists with a lot more characters that have yet to really get any good pieces of them made, and I really would prefer them to make those pieces first. But if they keep with the comiquette theme, maybe down the road they can do this one.

[Viking28]

I actually like the pose but I cant help but think this pose would of also have worked for Angel/Archangel with his wings spread out ready to spring into the air.

[Darklord Dave]

I'd hate to see them start doing straight statues in 1/4 scale instead of PFs as that Wolverine would be. Ironman fits in with the PFs since there's no cloth in his costume, but I'll be less inclined to buy any other fully sculpted Marvel characters.

[FlyAndFight]

I actually like the pose but I cant help but think this pose would of also have worked for Angel/Archangel with his wings spread out ready to spring into the air.

That would definitely be a beautiful pose but can you imagine the size of that piece, with full spread wingspan?! :google

[Raven]

Well congratulations SS, you just made me pull the trigger on my first Marvel 1:4. He looks awesome. I'm going to say something I never thought I'd say, but the Marvel line is holding a lot more promise for me right now than Star Wars this year. I have high hopes for Vader and Obi Wan, but so far the final product on Luke and Han didn't completely wow. I've seen nothing but excellence on Marvel and guess it's time to start playing catch up...put in for the wait list for Doom today. :banana
