Davenport Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Darkseid One of the Best Darkseid designs I have ever seen and by far one of the best statues I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a HUGE Darkseid fan and this piece just seems "off" to me. It has a very strong "anime" style to it. And honestly, if it weren't labeled I'm not sure I would recognize it as Darkseid. It could be any manga/anime fantasy character. (what's that big red Jewel in his chest anyway?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is by a Japanese toy company called "Play Arts Kai", so it very well may be anime inspired. Sideshow distributes some of their product. Some sandpaper, paint and about five minutes it could be crashed into a unique Iron Man armor. That's what I see looking at the figures proportions and armor styling details. Look at the waistline and especially the feet. It's like a form-fitting exoskeleton. Darkseid traditionally is a massively thick bodytype, a Hulk-ish blockheaded hamfisted brute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davenport Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah I'm not digging the Darkseid to much. Looking more at that Play Arts line, I think they're meant to be hyper-stylized alternative "variant" imaginings of DC characters. One of those "eye of the beholder" lines people either love instantly or wonder wtf? Check out The Flash sculpt and it leaps out at you. I'm wondering if official "Style Guides" for Licensees are a thing of the past. With all the deformed, pop, bobblehead, anime, bombshells and such appearing, character copyright holders may be expanding into every 'collector' toy, doll, statue and figure market possible. No limits, style away and lets see what you got. If you can sell it, we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Not the best picture, but here is my updated Frazetta collection. Upon further inspection the Death Dealer I just picked up has some issues. The top spike on his helmet is broken off. For the price I paid I can't complain. I'm also close to having all of the plastic figurines they put out. Edited August 13, 2014 by wombat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Spidey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Did anyone have any success with sideshows wait list? I'm on a wait list for one of the hulk statues and didn't know what the odds were that I'd actually get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erndog Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Did anyone have any success with sideshows wait list? I'm on a wait list for one of the hulk statues and didn't know what the odds were that I'd actually get one That's a great question! There's a statue I want and there is a waiting list however I don't know if it's worth it to be stuck in limbo. Anyone have an answer for the success rate?

F For Fake Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have had success a couple of times with WL conversions. Hasn't happened every time, but it does occasionally come through. I think it has a lot to do with how soon you get on the WL. The two (or three?) times I've converted were on items that I immediately signed up for the WL when I realized the item had just sold out. WL reservations I've submitted, say, several days or weeks later, have generally not come through. But it never hurts to try. It's definitely not unusual for an item to start converting (or even come back "In Stock") once they arrive and start charging folks, as a lot of collectors who have bigger eyes than their wallets can afford will find their cards decline, and their orders cancelled after a week. You have nothing to lose by trying. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
