Wolverine On Skulls Statue

[Starvenger]

Does anybody know how large (tall) this statue is? I'm considering getting this, but DST's website doesn't have any info on size. TIA!

[Sniper]

I think it was under 12 inches, if I remember it was about 8 inches ...

[Azog]

That sounds right sniper, in scale with the other milestones statues...base is not large at all on this one...

[Bullseye]

Marvel Milestones is quite a large scale. I think the Wolverine Brood is MM. I think this maybe another line.

[Sniper]

IT was in previews and I remember thinking after I read the description that is a small piece that would go well with my mini statues. I liked the piece except for the dark areas representing his hair on the arms..

Diamond has both new Wolverine pieces listed as Milestones...

[Bullseye]

Fair enough Azog. Then this should be pretty big. 8 - 9".

don`t you mean green :rolleyes2

[Jack8022]

Anyone see this in person or get this yet?

[wolverinejedi007]

I have ordered it and it is to ship some time this week, my credit card was just charged...I will post pics when I get it...

[valemeister]

I got the feeling it was going to be quite small, or at least smaller than Bowen scale. But I haven't seen one in person yet to confirm or deny this.

If possible, please snap a shot of it with a Bowen FS so we can see the relative sizes. For an $85 MSRP, I sure don't expect it to be in scale with Bowen's FS, but hopefully larger than Bowen's minis.

[Azog]

pics coming soon got mine in....

How does it look in person?

[Azog]

I was surprised at how well it turned out, worst thing, is the claws are painted to dark and I do not believe they are metal like we have come to expect from Wolvie statues, but it is nice.

[Azog]

Here you go, I posed him with Gambit from Bowen and Hal Jordan Lantern from DC Direct, I think the scale is very very close to Bowen, just depends on how well we want to call him runt. Also I noticed the CoA said Maximum production run of 2500, which leads to believe that 2500 may not get made.

Thanks for the pics!!! I think he looks to shiny. Also, making the skulls shiny is pretty dumb. Shiny skulls aren't every scary.

[carrillj]

Looks like they went heavy on the gloss finish. That is one shiny statue.

[Starvenger]

Nice pics Azog. Is the statue really that glossy or is because of the flash? Also, how tall is the statue? Good to see the arms don't look as green as in the promo pics.

[lord odin]

I think i`ll pick this up but the skulls have to go.
It looks easy enough to paint and shape the skulls so it looks like a ridge on a mountain top.

[Collection King 13]

I swa this one out at SDCC and I didnt like it much then and I still dont like it!

[RichardW]

Too shiny and his hands look big in comparison to his head.

Azog, no more money shots. :laugh:

It does look pretty nice, doesn't it brother? I almost bought one myself...

[bat_collector]

I like it, but the skull base detracts from the piece for me.

[Azog]

Well my pics have the flash turned off, so yes its glossy, but you should see it in person, I think if the gloss is off too much for you, its one worth a repaint cause it is a great pose...

[Azog]

ROFL..... I only do it for fun, cause think about it, a sculptor actually has to say to them self, does Wolverine's ass look to big?

[RichardW]

:laugh:

[Sniper]

skulls have been done to death!!!!!!

[MiamiLoco]

skulls have been done to death!!!!!!
HEheh, funny sentence :p

[Bullseye]

skulls have been done to death!!!!!!

The funny thing is Randy seems to be incorporating them into alot of his bases now.

Who else besides Thanos?


I actually like that pic next to Gambit. Makes the scale look right. Still could be way better. That's a nice pose and size though for Bowen to make to fit in line with the rest of the X men. Not on some rock to make a requirement.

[carrillj]

I like the skull base with some of the evil characters, but it makes Wolverine look like a serial killer. Did Wolverine kill all those people just to stand proudly on top of his skull collection? It looks that way to me.

I agree 100% with carillj. I konw wolvie can kill without remorse, but he doesn't keep the skulls of his victimes.

WOLV ON SKULLS, Mine isn't shiny at all, and Rick Force did a fantastic job on this sculpt!! Looks great!!

Thanks for showing the love!! :laugh:

[Sniper]

just saw one at drew's shop and it does not look shinny. It is actually a nice sculpt. I may get this one

[yorick]

It doesn't look excessively shiny, but man they gave wolvie some serious guns...

[bat_collector]

DST is improving in qualty

[Collection King 13]

I just saw this at my LCS and I must say it is one of DS' better pieces! and it isnt shiny!

[Azog]

DST is improving in qualty


I will give them that on these latest Wolverine pieces, but we shall see when Rogue and Thor hit...

[Azog]

Meant to post this with my pictures since the statue is based on this cover but with mask

[X-Men Fan]

Great pics Azog. I wasn't going to get this statue because the promo pics looked like he had green arms. But now after seeing your pics I just picked one up off of eBay. :)

Have this Lithograph from DF.

[RichardW]

In honor of Azog. Here's a money shot to be proud of...

aint that the truth!..love the few pieces I've got lately

[Azog]

In honor of Azog. Here's a money shot to be proud of...


1st.... to damn funny, Padme looking good

2nd.... I never knew they put that detail on her whip marks...

[RichardW]

I saw on auction on eBay that had turnaround pictures of her. I never knew the piece looked so good. All I ever saw was from the front, but there's a lot of detail on her.

[giro]

thanks AZOG for the pic's of wolverine next to gambit , that convinced me to get it , peice look's good if i don't like the paint job i'll send it to one of the painters on the board . looks good though . :buttrock:

[Haste05]

Looks really good. That Milestones series is great. Almost makes me wanna start collecting Xmen stuff

[boondocksaint]

Thanks for the pics!!! I think he looks to shiny. Also, making the skulls shiny is pretty dumb. Shiny skulls aren't every scary.


i think the paint job is terrible

[Bullseye]

Didn't RickDTM work on this piece?

[RickDTM]

Didn't RickDTM work on this piece?

Yep, I did the paint master for this version of Wolvering. The skulls I did were a little different, but that's the factory's interpretation I suppose.

Rick did a great job on the sculpt though! Anatomy was tight!

[SirConor]

Just saw this one too in person and its AWESOME. I wasnt excited one bit about this but I think I have to get it now. Not shiny one bit and really looks good, even with the cliche skull base. Love that its close in scale with Bowen, might be the perfect filler until Randy finally does a standing pose.

[Scoobydude]

Yes a REALLY nice job.

My only negative,the claws look too long. If they were to retract he would never bend his wrist. Or if they went past he wrist it they would stick out of his elbow.

Could,just be the angles of the camera.

Looks like great detail.

[Sniper]

i think the paint job is terrible
disagree !!!!!The paint job was nicer than I thought!

[giro]

i just got it really not in line with bowen but it looks good next to the justice league , it's the only wolverine i got that i like , till bowen comes, out with his . i like it .done well . if it was only bigger damn!

[GOHYOUTAT]

Hey! Wolverine on skulls statue is really not bad! thought the painting is quite different from its main prototype. The face of Wolverine is not as great as its prototype but the rest are nice. I really love the claws....some kinda titanium colour to cater that supreme effect! And when u touvh the claws they make u feel like its real metal! i rate it 8/10! Best wolverine statue so far.....better than Bowen designs too! Siorry Bowen...but...its really nice.

[Azog]

I dunno, this is def. in my top five, but #1 is Moore's Wolvie Dio, then Ray's Logan, Randy's Wolverines statues and then this one...

[elocon]

I am somewhat new to the forum, and usually just read the posts on it, and usually the people here seem very helpful. I just got this statue in today and it is indeed spectacular. Mine did not look as glossy as the pics that were posted, but I was wondering does anyone know what it means when the number on the statue is number 0, because that is what I got. It's #0 on the box and certificate. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[CKinSD]

elocon,
first may i say welcome to the forums.

Now as for number 0. I've never seen a 0 before so this is a new one for me.

Can you take a picture of this 0 and post it. would love to see this for sure.
thanks

[Ghost]

Just saw this at the LCS today, I gotta say, it's a sweet sculpt. Though the skulls do throw it off. I wish they used a different kind of base. It's a solid piece though.

[elocon]

Thanks for the welcome ckinsd, I will try and post a pic of the number tonight, have to figure out how to post a picture on this, sorry still very new to posting.

[Countrikula]

Thanks for the comments on the sculpt, everyone.
It was a fun piece to work on, being a big fan of the Jim Lee Wolvie (And Wolvie in general). It's nice to see the actual finished piece. Hadn't seen it until reading this post! Maybe I could acquire one someday.....
I originally did this piece for Dynamic, then they were no longer doing Marvel stuff, so then it was released by Diamond. That's pretty much it's history
(For those who might be interested...LOL). I agree, in the initial posted pics he looks VERY shiny (yikes), but in the later ones he was OK. Always interesting to see your sculpture come "full-circle", as it were... Just glad to see it got produced! Mr.Cantu did a very nice job on the paintmaster (Thanks for the kind words, man! And those pics.)!
And also, he does have those tree-trunk arms, and beefy fists ( They don't look quite like that in person)! But that's how Jim drew him in that litho, as well as the skulls.... Which probably wasn't the greatest base concept. But, you work with the reference, so.... Also (the FINAL also, I promise) I DID sculpt an unmasked head, which I liked (included a few pics of the near- complete headsculpt), but Marvel or someone wanted to do the mask version. Dunno why, but.... I thought I captured the Lee style well. But, whatareyagonnado?
Anyway....... Thanks very much for the kind words! Glad ya like it.
By the way- He's actually 1/8 scale, whereas Bowen's pieces are 1/7. Pretty close, though.

Best, Rick Force :buttrock:

[wolverinejedi007]

I wish the change-o-head was available, it would match the comic pic. Then as a display you place the comic behind the statue...I think it would be a nice presentation.

[Azog]

Wow, hey Rick great job... Great piece...

[Danno]

I think this is a great looking piece, Great job by both Ricks on this bad boy.

[bat_collector]

Rick and Rick , yo uboth outdid yourselvese with this one. Great work!

[Bullseye]

This is a very nice piece for a very good price.

[elocon]

Hopefully, the attached pictures show up. For those who got the piece, did you guys get an actual number?

[SirConor]

Wow number 0 eh. That's something.

Rick, great job on this piece. Its about time someone has done a GREAT standing Wolvie.
