Hey, XM dudes, I think it'd be great if you could make a daredevil that looks like he is taking a swan dive off a building ledge like this (couldn't find a good example of DD doing it, but this gives you the idea):

https://javentanner.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/bob-trotman-swandive-2001.jpg

But, you guys are creative enough to come up with a way to flip the figure over for an alternate, full layout back flip display, like this:

or this:

And whatever you do, make an option to have the billy club cables extended and wrapping around his body, similar to this (although, I imagine not so complex):

The portrait looks a lot like the SS life size bust.

G'damn Joe Quesada art, while it looks cool it'd be a nightmare to sculpt and ship all those wires everywhere lol.

I know i will be in the minority here but I'm not a huge fan of the dynamic jumping off a building or a gymnastic air borne pose for DD, I'd rather see a subtle martial arts museum pose so i can pose him with Sideshows Punisher, Deadpool, etc..

For this character I would just keep it simple.

To describe Daredevil is simple is to take away the beauty and excitement of his unique character.

agreed. I think he should be somewhere nearer towards spidey's level of dynamism

really looking forward to seeing what xm can do with DD. id like him to be doing something acrobatic like in most of the pictures shown but please let the statue still have some height.

even though its similar to the hard hero daredevil I really like the idea of a 1/4 scale hightly detailed one hand handstand on a great base. that would be my first choice, second would be a an action pose where hes using his billy clubs. hell id even take an awesome battle stance where hes poised to use the billy clubs

all the pictures posted are great so far, just the idea of this statue happening with xm who does a great job listening and taking input from the fans is very exciting to me

these are all FANTASTIC

I really like the costume in the first pic, I hope xm handles the outfit similar to how they did wolverine and magneto giving it a realistic mix of textures

the third pic is probably my favorite though, that pose but have the lower hand on a building ledge with dardevils body aiming upwards - again giving it some nice height

You know most of the statues have DareDevil up-right, I would prefer to see him up-side down for a change....especially in 1/4th scale. I am sure it would be amazing. It Erick Sosa is on-board, i am confident we can get something similar to his Koto Spider-Man. That one was awesome.

Like I say, I think XM is creative enough to give us something that can be displayed BOTH upright and upside down! Make it happen XM!

I still really like this, its literally EXACTLY what I had in my mind (pic courtesy of Remember Me?). this pose pushing up and off a building ledge with red billy clubs please :thumbs2:

agreed..i think with characters like this, sculptors tend to "try too hard" when it comes to capturing motion/athleticism etc etc..i believe you can convey all of that with a simple stance (if done correctly)...anything else seems too contrived imho

this pic came to mind...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/stevejunkin/DD_zps418ba89b.jpg

i've always associated DD with high buildings...so i would love to see something like this (yes, i know it's another "leg up" pose)
and if the base looked like this, you might as well take my money now :)

edit....ha...i see that by the time i finished posting this, both of my pics were already chosen...lol

are all of XM Studio's statues based off Stanley Lau's art thus far?

Don't think so....no.

Magneto for instance was not. Wolverine was not. Hawkeye was not. I think those were all HIVE.

Maybe I have it wrong. Maybe HIVE is just doing the prints based off the pose.

Hawkeye was not.



I hope whoever was in charge of hawkeye (design / sculpt) is put in charge or daredevil, I really like the way he came out. theyre somewhat similar characters with similar builds - im just psyched xm got the green light on daredevil

I prefer the idea of trying to do something acrobatic if possible, because it could stand out from some of the other pieces. The problem is trying to capture that kinetic can result in a weird contorted stumbling look like the upcoming SS. I'd be fine with a standing or semi-action pose on a gargoyle so long the gargoyle doesn't diminish DD.

There's another point, team up ...
or couple ;)

And i guess XM plan to realise an Elektra.

How many collectors that will purchase both will team them up as a couple ? almost 100 % ?

Maybe the challenge is to find a pose that can be on is own for each charcter and also suiting the duo display.

By the way i agree an crobatic pose for them will be a must.

Sweet Statue!! When was this released?

it is a custom (1/4 scale) from a few years ago. There is a yellow version too.

You can find cheap knockoffs of the red version of ebay if you are ok with plastic.
