Sideshow 1st Marvel 1:6 - Deadpool

[Centrocal]

how did you weather it?

 

[Craig Walker]

Drybrush. Just use black acrylic paint, lightly dry brush, and smooth/smear any areas that get thick.

I'm the opposite. Looks like Deadpool is out in his pajamas. It also gives him giraffe neck in those pics. Sorry but not a fan of that custom suit at all. The modded SS looks much better imo.

I agree with you. When I first saw Tony Mei's suit I thought it looked pretty sweet but now after seeing the modded sideshow suit, I don't know what I was thinking. Pajamas and giraffe neck is pretty accurate.

I mean if you like it then that's cool but not my cup of tea at all.

 

[InebriatedGnome]

So much more expressive. The neck does look long in some of the photos but imo it's a small price to pay for a mod that gives the figure such character. This is the Deadpool to display, unless HT proves their figure is similarly poseable.

 

[Craig Walker]

I'll shave the head peg down and post pics, if that's a big gripe.

In hand there is no comparison IMO. Tony's suit smokes it. Guess it's just not photographing well.

 

[Craig Walker]

Shaved peg down. Don't see how anyone could complain now

The figure is probably the best articulation I have now, short maybe only of Spidey.

That's some good stuff, walker. I think the SS one looks fine (modded and unmodded) but yours takes it to the next level. Proportions are great now that you shortened the neck.

 

[Craig Walker]

Thanks! I love it. I think it's a huge improvement and gives a much more classic comic look. Check these out:

I don't think I've seen anything close to these with the SS uni. I think it looks bad a$$.

Wow Craig that looks awesome!! If that's what sideshow had made it would have been a day 1 preorder for me, as they made it tho I will skip it and wait for the movie version, again that is an awesome comic version you have made there tho

 

[Craig Walker]

Thanks

I was thinking I might sell this one when the HT one hits......but I dig it so much more now. So I'll have the movie/RR version and the comic version. Win/win.

Definitely a win/win that will be two amazing versions, pm me if you ever decide you want to sell this version tho, it looks incredible!!

 

[Lee in MI]

That's a great set up Walker.

Not sure I want to shell out another $150 bucks on this figure though.

 

[subzro]

These are all pretty amazing. i would be happy with any of them on my shelf.

Thanks. But yes, it is pricey to do.

Will do.

Just surfing old pix in the thread for A/B comparisons:

You'd never be able to get dynamic poses like this if it was any tighter... Even this was tough to achieve with it being a little giving:

I seriously cannot believe how cool your Deadpool looks, Craig.

In the end, who cares if people complain or don't like it? If YOU do, then that's all that matters. Your figure, your money. Personally speaking, I wouldn't waste the $220+ (what you paid, me it was going to cost me over $400) and all the trouble you went through to get the figure itself, then change it to that custom suit. That suit is horrible in my opinion compared to the SS one, even unmoved SS one. If I was going to use a custom suit, I'd just buy the custom suit, buy the blank body which is super cheap, and find the SS head on ebay or sculpt one myself.

But hey, man, if you like it, then like I said, that's all that matters. It's definitely not my cup of tea in comparison to the SS suit. Just makes it look cheap, way too cartoony, not comic-book-y, but 7am Dora-the-assassin-saturday-morning-cartoon cheap. Enjoy your figure the way you want to, dude! Me? I'm in love with the movie suit since I first saw it as a fan and a costumer, the Hot Toys prototype is freaking mind-blowing to me, and I'll be counting down the days until that Hot Toys figure is in my grubby little hands so I can pose him with the rest of The Avengers! I'll need to make him his little Avengers membership card too.

Keep the pictures coming, everyone! I love seeing pictures of 6th scale figures, regardless.
I had the chance to get this figure on a trade, but something told me not to, so I didn't and when I got home, the pics of the Hot Toys movie suit figure were posted! So I don't feel bad I had to cancel this one. I do like the SS modded version, which if I ever get this figure, it's what I would do to it for sure - cut off all the tan straps, but keep the leather straps, the shoulder pads and kneepads.

Thanks Cicada

Absolutely. I was mainly saying "hey, the neck can be fixed".

Agreed. I think the movie version will be better than this one, even with my customization.

 

[Craig Walker]

One more I forgot to post that I dig:

You can see the dark areas (weathering) a bit here, but still disappears in photos...

 

[RazorSkull]

That the most awesome Deadpool pose I've ever see! Great job on the custom too!
