Swamp Thing Maquette

[GeneralZodLives]

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing stories are masterpiece-level writing, but he didn't draw any part of the book. He was lucky to be paired with Totleben and Bissette--two artists that did an amazing job putting his stories on the page. If Sideshow's is based on Totleben and Bissette's art, then it will be an easy sell for them because a lot of people have been waiting for a larger scale piece based on their art.

DC needs to put that run in Absolute format.

Not a fan of the character but it's an inspiring choice. Gives me hope we'll see a Martian Manhunter PF someday.

As popular as that run is, I can't believe they haven't done it yet.

The second Maquette they have teased on my will buy list. Now, I wonder if this is far enough along to be at the Con next week? Preview night can't come fast enough.

My guess is "yes" because they said on the preview page that the preorder is coming soon. I may be optimistic but when I hear that, I think sometime in the next 2-4 weeks.

Every online comic con statue announcement will be at comic con.

SSC is usually good with big creatures that have a lot of intricate details. It should look quite impressive.

Can't wait for preview night!

This is why I passed on Thanos. I knew there would be con pieces I would want more, and if I tied my hands with a $1200 piece that while excellent, was not that high on my list of characters, it would come back to bite me.

This is a good time to be a Swamp Thing fan. I'm predicting P1/SS will have some trouble moving these pieces...but I'm getting ONE of them 100%.

I really think John Totleben's work is one of the best the industry ever had and with Moore's stories, this character was one that had no right to be as outstandingly rendered as it was. It just screamed tongue-in-cheek but ended up being such an incredibly memorable, haunting character. I just can't voice my adoration of this character enough. I'm SUUUUPER stoked for this peice. But I'm also WORRIED that this piece, given the amount of texturing that'll be necessary and complex paints that this piece will be plagued with production problems. That's my prediction...But man, I'm STOKED!

Swamp Thing > all those you listed.

lol


Glad were getting something different though.

I can't emphasize enough how happy I am that we're getting 2 statues of one of my favorite characters ever. I might end up buying both. And I agree, how DC hasn't made an Absolute or Omnibus edition of some of the classic work is beyond me.

 

[astrocreep1428]

Man this is a nice surprise. One of my favorite characters ever. I'm all in for this guy.

As a kid I loved Swamp Thing. I even re-watched the movie a few months ago and still enjoyed it. BUT, for my collection I try to stick with horror or villains, and I'm going to have to try and justify Swamp Thing. I'm sure if he looks good enough, I'll figure something out and get him. lol

I would classify him as a horror-ish character. Boom. Justified purchase.

He pretty much is

They had the movie on TV last week. It was an omen for this announcement.
