J.Sid Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Good news: sketches of her are in very short supply! Bad news: ...they are in short demand as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delekkerste Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I thought about ordering the book the other week, but, decided that I didn't want to roll the roulette wheel, as some of the sketches previewed weren't even Iron Man-related. Mrs. Arbogast I wonder if there's a sketch of Uranus Bliss as well. Edited July 17, 2018 by delekkerste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmandrd Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I was in the same boat. I saw the promo video and some of the non-Iron Man figures that were drawn and didn't want to take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohei Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 On the other hand I'm sure all the other collectors are disappointed that the Mrs. Arbogast has already found a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Sid Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Some people are going to call me a fool, but I'd bought one of the Romita artist editions with the sketch in it. He's a definitive Spidey artist. It's a Spidey book, I'd bought it because I love Spidey, I figured I had a good chance of getting Spidey. I ended up with MJ (oh the travesty). Underwhelmed, I sold the book on eBay within the year. I can't believe Bob would stick someone with that character. He's got 5,000 different sets of Iron Man armor he can pick from, just give your fans (and people ponying up for this book are among your biggest) what they want.

Blastaar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Not to pile on, but I watched the video on this limited art series and this has just horrible luck of the draw. Was it by chance opened when you received it? Edited July 18, 2018 by Blastaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bought the Romita as well and lucky for me I got half peter/half spidey portrait. I will definetly think twice before my next purchase of a similar format.

Nobody goes in thinking they have a chance of getting this lame character, again I apologize for the pile on, they should have known better. Stark Tower would have been better.

zhamlau Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Not trying to pile on, but yeah that sorta spooks me. if you are gonna do a lesser (and that's being generous) character like that at least color it or give it a background. I like the idea of boilerplate standard Iron Man no backgrounds for most, then doing odd characters but with backgrounds or colored. More desirable character=you get the standard , Less desirable character= you get all the bells and whistles. Doing it this way, its like turning it into a high end pack of Topps Cards. I don't think that model works in a more intimate connected hobby like comic art collecting which is to whom these books appeal to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeGiant Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I was a huge (still am) fan of this era so I immediately knew that this was Mrs. A but even I would have been disappointed to get this as my sketch. I agree with more bells and whistles with this one - even Tony leaning over her shoulder would have been better. How many of these were done with a sketch? Now I am curious to see how many people will get one of these head-scratcher sketches. Kohei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
