Emma Frost / White Queen

[nbr3bagshotrow]

From latest DST announcement.

[Collection King 13]

They had that one out in SDCC... It looks pretty good!

[nexus]

Excellent.
Still want to see Randy do a modern (X-costume from a couple of years ago, can't remember the artist, but it was drop dead sexy) and retro (Inner Circle bustier) WQ.

[JDH]

The way they have done the base makes it look a little like she is wearing some kind of heavy-duty bolt-on Shi'ar chastity belt.

[Bullseye]

Very nice.

[lord odin]

Nice but i`d never by it.

[bat_collector]

I'm getting the whole astonishing line. This and the Jean Grey/Black Queen busts are great.

[Bullseye]

Nice but i`d never by it.

When you can get it off the back of a truck. :laugh: Be sure and wear some gloves. :)

[Tao]

Wow, that line is looking very good.

[Bullseye]

If its the same scale as the Black Queen its perfect for your Bowen scale.

[MiamiLoco]

Ok, I know there is someone from DST that posts here sometimes, can I PLEASE get an answer as to WHY DST decided to change the base??!!! I mean, you kept the same base from the "New X-Men" line, but halfway through this new "Astonishing" line, you change the base? Am I the only one bothered by this?!!

I guess they made it "diamond-like" to reflect her new power. It'll probably go back to the original design after this one.

Also, why does she have to have a friggin 6-pack? Gimme a nice smooth belly anyday. :buttrock:

[RichardW]

That does look bad changing the base. And another thing about that: Beast and Cyclops sit on their X, she's behind it. :rolleyes2

[Bartholomew]

She looks a little constipated...so much so that she's biting her hand off.

[Justin]

I'm with you Primal, the abs look ridicules on this bust, As far as I can recall Emma has always been a portrayed as a curvaceous women with a trim but unmuscular build, The stomach looks way off :peoples:

I`ll leave it for you guys i`m not greedy. :)

Hank looks like the cowardly lion. :laugh:

Well, from the "Astonishing" line, only Colossus has come out and I think he is pretty much in line with the old "New X-Men" line. It's hard to really tell, since he is a big dude.

[MiamiLoco]

I wouldn't mind if the shape was rougher, to somehow signify her diamond like power, but what's up with that bright red?!!! Not only is the base different, but it will also be spotted from a while away as being different. I hope someone from DST can give me an answer.

[nexus]

Getting the astonishing line. The bases aren't that great IMO though, and Beast does look like something out of a fairy tale.

[Collection King 13]

If its the same scale as the Black Queen its perfect for your Bowen scale.
Actually the Black Queen is a little larger than BD scale... But its a very nice peice!

[Bullseye]

With the base its slightly taller but the torso etc look very close.

[bat_collector]

Need to pick up colossus, but undecided about chrome vs painted

[Bullseye]

If you can get the chromed version.

[MiamiLoco]

If you can get the chromed version.
Yeah, I don't know about now, but when they were first released, I got a chromed version for $60, since there was a flood of them on Ebay.

[Bullseye]

And all over $100 for them. I just loved how it turned out. Rocco did a great job for sure.

[Scottsdale Saint]

i'll definitely be buying this one since it's a pretty nice sculpt, and it looks like a long time before Randy will have one on his agenda. i actually like the Cyclops as well, as it's the first good sculpt of the character since the Bowen bust.

[Meta Jon]

I think I am going to start grabbing this line, already got the Kitty on order and now probably order Cyke, but I think I really like the Emma.

[nexus]

Colossus chrome just arrived last night. This is one nize piece -- much nicer than I thought from the pix 'cuz it was completely off our radar screen. #147 I believe. There are only 500 chromes, and I think it's gonna go up in price pretty quickly, especially once the others busts start coming out. Not sure what scale they're going for because Colossus is a big guy, but I think they will be slightly larger than BD's.

[scottarob]

Saw the Emma bust in person at WWChicago (along with Cyclops, Beast and Shadowcat) Emma is not in scale, and is larger than Beast and Cyclops - not just in overall height, but in the size of her head/shoulders/etc. Very disappointing! The others all look appropriately scaled. Hopefully they will fix it, but the prototype looked finished. Black Queen sits nicely with the other busts from this line.

[MiamiLoco]

Maybe Emma isn't part of the Astonishing X-men line?!! But that's ridiculous. So let me get this straight, they changed the scale AND the base, starting with EMMA??!! Who is the guy from DST that posts here? Maybe I'll send him a PM.

[nexus]

If Emma is out of scale this will just be plain old stoopid. 1st, have they not learned their lesson about what collectors want!?! i.e. lines and teams that display well together. 2nd, Emma is the reason I decided to go with the astonishing line. 3rd. What in the $#%^& are they thinking!? Someone please verify.

[Bullseye]

Take a look at Ghosts pics. She looks in scale to me.

http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=13627&page=1

[nexus]

Looks in scale to me too. Maybe Ghost or someone else who was there and confirm. Also, that Thor looks pretty darn cool. May end up getting that and the Cap as well, although have no idea where they'll go. Is DST finally "getting it"? Time will tell. Man, this industry/hobby is going crazy.

[MiamiLoco]

Yeah, she doesn't look out of scale. But Beast looks TERRIBLE though. Isn't Beast suppose to be big, like a... BEAST??!! Man, I guess Beast IS taking Trimspa:

[Bullseye]

Theres nothing wrong with the sculpt. Its perfect when compared to the reference art. I just don't like how the artist drew him. Looks too much like the cowardly lion.

Can you please post the reference picture?

[Bullseye]

Heres a couple.

[DSTCHUCK]

She (Emma) will be in scale. They just look off at the shows because some are prototypes and some are in various stages of production. The Emma at WWC was too big - your correct.

Thanks for the clarification,. Looking forward to it. :thumbs2:

Can you please tell me WHY they decided to change the design of the base at this point in the line??!

ok, I used the pictures that you provided and compared them to the bust. Can you really tell me that it's accurate??!! He isn't drawn that slim.

[bat_collector]

I don't know, I still like it a lot. The beast is actually one of my favs.

[nexus]

Hate the new-look Beast. Gawd! Bust looks good, although he maybe should be a little wider based on reference images.

[scottarob]

Great news about the scale. I was impressed with the bust in every other way.

[Bullseye]

Thats Hawk after the weightwatchers diet. :)

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Check the large picture of the DST Emma Frost picture and look at her right hand closely. Tell me it doesn't look deformed. This was my biggest complaint about this sculpt when I saw it at SDCC. The rest is great.

[cblakey1]

.. the stomach looks a little too ripped to me. :confused2

It'll probably look better in person.

[ickwinzs]

it looks that way because she is sugestivly taking he glove off, unless I am mistaken

[Dj-B13]

it looks that way because she is sujestivly taking he glove off, unless I am mistaken


Yep, you can even see the empty part of the glove being stretched at the finger are!!

Goodness, this is a must have bust! :buttrock:

[Bullseye]

Anyone know who sculpted this bust?

[Bullseye]

Check out these larger pics.
http://www.thesculptorscorner.com/DiamondSelect/BIG12.htm

[Ghost]

Yeah her hand looks incredibly long in those pics, the only part that's stretching is at the finger tip where she's pulling.

[ickwinzs]

Do you think that might be because her glove is off half way?

[Ghost]

Here's some markings I made...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/HumanCHAOS/whitequeennew.jpg

And I resized the hand to what I think it should look like. It's slight but it doesn't look too deformed.

[ickwinzs]

Hey Ghost good points! But like the yellowjackets left shoulder I think it an optical ****usion!! LOL!!

[wellwisher]

Best piece to date from DST. Finally!

[Dj-B13]

Great job ghost for the pictures, but all in all this is a must get from the DST line! :buttrock:

[valemeister]

And I resized the hand to what I think it should look like. It's slight but it doesn't look too deformed. Naah, the glove is coming off, which is why it looks longer. The fingers on the glove that aren't being pulled off have allready been pulled off which is why they look droopy.

[Dj-B13]

Naah, the glove is coming off, which is why it looks longer. The fingers on the glove that aren't being pulled off have allready been pulled off which is why they look droopy.

Yep exactly, the droopy areas are the parts of the gloves where the finger is not inside already.

[valemeister]

Yep exactly, the droopy areas are the parts of the gloves where the finger is not inside already. Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. :D

If it weren't intentional, I'm sure someone during production would have gone "hang on a minute, her hand is deformed". The glove is obviously in mid-removal.

:)

hehehe Yep exactly!! :p , I mean someone from DST would have noticed the problem before even fliiping out the promo picture of her!

I like it, when is it coming out?

[Dj-B13]

I think it is along the wave with the She-Hulk Premiere Statue FF4 Version which is on the first month of January 2006. :buttrock:

January? That is too far away, man these people need to know how to release sneak peeks only one month in advance, and keep them up to date.

[Dj-B13]

HAHA :laugh: that woul be good...

But this way its actually good for me & I know prolly others too since you have time to prepare and save that certain amount of money to shed on these :buttrock:

[Bullseye]

That FF She Hulk is looking very good too. I may need to pick that one up.

[Dj-B13]

Yep, I cant wait to get that! :buttrock:

[Wolverine1]

Yep, I cant wait to get that! :buttrock:
Not getting that, waiting on Bowen to decide, I can wait on She Hulk.

[Dj-B13]

Not getting that, waiting on Bowen to decide, I can wait on She Hulk.

Love the money shot. I need to get White Queen, keep waiting for Bowen, though.

[Dj-B13]

hehe Money shot indeed!!

Oh yea, I cant to see his versions though!! :buttrock: ...

I wonder what it is going to be based on also :peoples:

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I can't get buy the look of her hand. It still looks deformed to me and I understand the whole "sultry removal of the glove thing". The rest of the bust is dynamite.

[HULK SMASH]

Who will be looking at the hand,with everything else showing?

[Dj-B13]

hehe Yep exactly, this bust is filled with other good eye candy! :buttrock:

[HULK SMASH]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Rogue]

I really like the White Queen mini bust. This is one that I want to get! I wouldn't mind having a bust of her in her original Hellfire Club outfit too! :)

[Bullseye]

Love the money shot. I need to get White Queen, keep waiting for Bowen, though.

In all fairness to Bowen Clay is the man for female sculpts. There are other sculptors who have produced some nice female sculpts too like E. Sosa and Bruckner.

[Ghost]

I can't get buy the look of her hand. It still looks deformed to me and I understand the whole "sultry removal of the glove thing". The rest of the bust is dynamite.

Same here. I don't believe the fingers have been completely out of the glove. The fingertips would droop lower not stay curled in the position she had her hand in. Just me...
