Need a little advice regarding Walt Simonson Artist Edition

[MONSTER]

Just heard from Scott at IDW and I have an opportunity to get one of the the remarqued Thor Artist editions and I can pick the character. This is from the waitlist I got on last year so there are no more available so no need to contact IDW or Scott. I've confirmed with him that they are long gone. Sorry

Here is what has been done so far:

So now the hard part. What character should I get? I'm thinking about not going with Thor or Bill. Maybe Sif?

[Mean Green]

I think you'll regret not getting a Thor or Bill. I'd personally get a Thor.

[Underdog07]

Oh to have your problem

[JadeGiant]

I have to agree with TC on this one Ken. I would gravitate toward Thor with Spinning hammer as well. I would probably try to ask for something not done before to add to the uniqueness of the art.

[JadeGiant]

And how in the heck were you able to score one of these??!!?!?!?!

[ftrez]

I'd get Thor myself.

[statman]

Personally, I would get BRB. When I think about Simonson's run on Thor, BRB immediately springs to mind.

[statman]

And how in the heck were you able to score one of these??!!?!?!?!

That's what I would like to know as well... :confused:

[JadeGiant]

can't go wrong with a Simonson BRB, agreed.

[PureInvasion]

seeing as I just finished this compendium the other day I'd say YES jump at this deal. I'd say BRB as well

[Sam]

If I didn't go with Thor or BRB, I'd probably ask for The Destroyer. That's just me though. I'm NOT familiar with the Thor series.

[Kdawg59]

Sif is a good idea...

perhaps Odin or Surtur... Surtur forging the sword was responsible for us meeting BRB right?

Perhaps a BAT would be sweet too...

lots to choose from in terms of awesomeness! What a problem to have indeed.

[MrYac]

i don't know how this is even an issue, if i had this oppertunity the choice would be clear

[Y3E]

Whatever you choose, go for an action pose

[Underdog07]

Thor or BRB

I would get BRB

[BillC]

Personally I'd go for Thor or Loki

[punisher129]

Loki is a good choice !

[JMH]

I would probably get a Thor or maybe an Odin if you are feeling frisky. Was lucky enough to get an 11x17 full body from Walt a couple years ago. I went with Thor and it turned out amazing!

[Rocket]

I'd go BRB, but if you are strong against the norm of Thor or BRB, then I'm with Keith! Surtur would be such a unique (and obscurely important) choice! And hey, he was created by Walt during that legendary run too, right? :D

[Argonus]

Volstagg.

:D

Seriously... if you don't want a Thor, it's hard to beat BRB or Surtur; Surtur would be flippin' awesome! :buttrock:

Sif is cool too, but a woman has no business bein' on a Thor cover. :buttrock: :D

[SunnyLee]

THHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR

[MONSTER]

Man you guys are not making it easy but Sif is now off the table. I'm thinking I'm still going to skip on BRB since Walt already did so many of them. I have to say I'm really liking the Surtur idea but now I'm leaning towards Thor in an action pose with spinning hammer. What to do?

[SunnyLee]

what? no Volstagg love??

To display with your new BD action Thor with Spinning hammer... nice.

[MONSTER]

Hmmmm..... That's a great idea. I can just mention that I want it to display with the statue and see what Walt comes up with.

[madmanny]

How are you even getting one Ken?

I would be tempted to go with Doom.....

[MONSTER]

I got on the wait list last year when Walt originally started posting these on Facebook. I didn't think it was going to happen until I checked my e-mail this morning.

[MONSTER]

Please don't contact IDW about these. They are long gone and I actually shouldn't have said anything about it.

[GerryT]

It has to be Odin

[Argonus]

what? no Volstagg love??



I said Volstagg. :tongue:

[MONSTER]

Just wanted to repeat that these are sold out and I was on a waiting list from last year. Please don't contact IDW or Scott about them. He confirmed that I got the last one.

[Underdog07]

Please don't contact IDW about these. They are long gone and I actually shouldn't have said anything about it.

Strange, when I offered $200 more than you were paying one became available. :rolleyes:

[MONSTER]

So it was you. I knew it!!!:slapf:

[rychehitman]

Wait...did Rod just say that Walt created Surtur?????

Walt's rendition of the Midgard Serpent would look cool.....but I think you'd regret not getting Thor or BRB.

[risingstar]

Lady Sif, definitely. There are lots of Thors and BRBs out there already.
I might consider an Odin or Loki too. However, battle armor Sif would be my top choice.

[GerryT]

[mwf6171]

Battle Armour Thor

[dagouch17]

Bastard. :muahaha:

J/K can't wait to see yours. I would probably go battle armor thor or do a composite Bill/Thor.

best of both worlds.

Mike

[Bishop40]

i would go for an odin just to be different ken.

[MONSTER]

Well after all the great suggestions, I've decided to go with......Hulk. Thanks everyone!

[Royd]

Just got off the phone with Scott to arrange dinner at SDCC and mentioned to him that you'd arranged for the Thor Artist Edition as a gift to me so he's arranged to send it to me direct. Thanks mate! :D

PS - I'd like the Thor with spinning hammer thanks!

[marvelboi77]

Gotta be Enchantress or Hela.

Of course you did.:doh!:

If you're serious, I probably would have went with Spider-Woman...:crazy:

Say again? Couldn't quite make out this post.

:laugh:

[MONSTER]

She was my second choice.:drinking:

[MrYac]

Well after all the great suggestions, I've decided to go with......Hulk. Thanks everyone!

haha, really? is it at least asgardian hulk :p

[galactus]

Malekith the Accursed!! C'Mon, this would be mad cool!!

[MrYac]

since you people are all too cowardly i guess it's up to me to get a Simonson Thor-Frog :p

[Royd]

It was a joke - honest! :wink2:

Of course you did.:doh!:

[Mean Green]

Well after all the great suggestions, I've decided to go with......Hulk. Thanks everyone!

YES!!! :buttrock:

[Argonus]

YES!!! :buttrock:

While I share TC's enthusiasm, I am not nearly as surprised with Ken's decision as he seems to be.



:tongue:

[oceans11]

I was thinking Enchantress since I first saw this post earlier. Finally got to post and I see it's been mentioned. Still think it would be pretty cool and different from the Thor and BRB's that everyone else got. That might be why Hela is my favorite of all the ones that Walt's done; because it stands out more.
(Don't get me wrong here.. the BRB's and Thor's are pretty damn awesome).

I wouldn't doubt it. Don't you Aussies get all your art for free?

[Argonus]

I wouldn't doubt it. Don't you Aussies get all your art for free?

Artists pay Aussies for the privilege of them owning their pieces; it's really quite unfair. :laugh:

it's more like a protection racket, they give the down under boys free art and in turn they make sure no "accidents" happen while out in the bush

[Rocket]

Wait...did Rod just say that Walt created Surtur?????

.

Ya know, I reallllly thought the "right?" and :D at the end of my post was enough of an indicator, but there's always one Rob.... :doh!: ;)

[Rocket]

I'll let you know after this weeks con :D

[Royd]

I'll let you know soon although it's a page from a yet to be released book so I can't display it yet :laugh:

I thought he suffers from "Hammerfoot"? That explains his limp, at least. :tongue:

[joy_division]

Archangel. It's obvious!
