* The new
statue from Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is the Street Fighter Akuma Statue (above).
The ultimate Street Fighter collectible! This extremely limited
mixed-media Akuma statue stands a massive 19” tall and weighs in at
approximately 16pounds as well. The statue will also come with a
gorgeous 8" × 10" poster signed by artist Alvin Lee and sculptor Jerry
Macaluso.
The standard edition is limited to only 600 pieces and the
special edition is slated for a scant 150 units. Painted and ready to
display, Akuma features an impressive range of articulation, as well as
interchangeable hands and fireball accessory. Shirtless, Akuma is
adorned by a savagely tattered costume and his irreplaceable necklace of
Akuma love beads. With such a limited run on such a cool character, this
piece is bound to be the sleeper hit of the year. Grab him while you
can...
* Available soon
from ArtFX is the AvP Warrior Alien Statue (above). This
piece from the first AvP movie is rendered in 1:6scale and features the
Warrior Alien as he is about to strike his prey. The beauty of this kit
is that it features two interchangeable tails: one in striking
“scorpion” style and the other is an acid-blood covered damaged tail
which can be used when combining this piece with ArtFX’s Scar Predator
statue (sold separately).
An imaginative feature of this second tail
is that the Predator blood on the tail glows in the dark. Neat! This
piece is over 11” long and 9”tall, and as usual with ArtFX/Kotobukiya
pieces, snaps together with ease and requires no glue or modeling skill.
Go get him!
* Coming soon is DC
Direct’s Batman 1:2 Scale Bust (above). With
all of the products out there, rare is the piece that really gets fans
super excited. But DC Direct has us all worked up over their new Batman
1:2 Scale bust. This piece is the first in a line of 1:2 mixed-media
busts. That’s right, this is a mixed media piece. Accordingly, this
stunning piece of art features a cold coast porcelain body, cowl and
face, but it also has a finely tailored fabric costume that fits the
body flawlessly. Each bust in the series will feature a consistent base
design and a unique logo plaque. This beauty measures a massive 13” h x
10” w x 7” deep and will come with a Certificate of Authenticity as
well.
* Last but
certainly not least is Gentle Giant’s Lord of the Rings Animated Ringwraith on Horse
Maquette (above) available soon. The worldwide cultural
phenomenon was recently popularized by director Peter Jackson and his
vision of the epic story is back again...
Gentle Giant hits this one
out of the park with their line of Lord of the Rings animated maquettes
inspired by the movies. The latest in this line of animation-inspired
pieces features the black-robed Ringwraith, sentinels for the impossibly
evil Sauron. This fantastic piece stands approximately14” tall and will
look great with the rest of your Lord of the Rings animated
pieces.
