If you could have ONE Age of Apocalypse bust made, who would it be?

[MaxGoof]

I know a lot of people are saying that Age of Apocalypse busts won't be made because short storyline-based busts and statues don't do well, but Age of Apocalypse is arguably the most popular X-Men story in history, as it solidly trounced every other Marvel "big event" in the official Marvel.com poll a few weeks ago.

If there's any storyline strong enough and with amazing enough character designs to sell through a few busts, it's Age of Apocalypse.

Age of Apocalypse busts would give us a chance of having Blink and Morph as they appear in Exiles, as well as the ultra-cool AOA Sunfire or the mainstream Marvel Universe Black Beast!

What AOA Bust would YOU most like to have?

[Iron Fist]

What the heck??? There is no Wolverine option?

RNR

[JetBlackMac]

And no COLOSSUS!!!

[bat_collector]

You wasted a voting option with X-man, the worst Marvel character in history. :banghead: :stick:

[rychehitman]

Definatelty add Sabretooth and Wild Child to the list as well! An AOA rendition of Iceman would look great! I think an AOA run would pick up steam and sell out! After all, Falcon has and he isnt exactly a main stream character! Fans of the old Cap and Falcon, and Avengers series scarfed him up, I am sure there are enough AOA fans out there to do so as well, especially if Marvel marketed their release in conjunction with the AOA 10th anniversary!

[SirConor]

Nightcrawler is another one definitely worth considering... I think his look in AoA was the coolest its ever been.

Out of the list I'd vote for a Dark Beast, but I would buy quite a few of the AoA characters if they ever were done.

[Primal]

Holocaust all the way! Hmm...that came out the wrong way.
Imagine a full size statue??? :buttrock:

[TN Reptile]

An AOA Sabretooth with Wild Child on his shoulder would look sweet. If a AOA Wolverine was made It should be done like the Captain Marvel mini bust to show one claw and one nub. Colossus would be nice too.

[DDura711]

I went X-Man, I really liked that guy. What happened to him anyway?

[bat_collector]

I went X-Man, I really liked that guy. What happened to him anyway?
I don't know, but I haven't missed him.

[pmpknface]

I went X-Man, I really liked that guy. What happened to him anyway?

After he got his own title, he died in the last issue. The last issues were actually pretty good too. It was when Marvel hired Warren Ellis to oversee all of the floundering X-books and he gave Nate a cool new direction and everything. I think it was actually written by Steven Grant, but I'm not sure about that...

OH - And I voted for Blink only due to the lack of female characters, but Holocaust was a very close 2nd.

[Perna]

The AOA Sunfire was cool.

[sleepindeath]

loved the Sunfire...Also, liked Nightcrawler, Blink and The Dark Beast.


OF COURSE ALSO,

COLOSSUS/SHADOWCAT

[d rod]

any pics out there?

[marvelboi77]

I think that Blink would be the must have out of all of them.

[DDura711]

After he got his own title, he died in the last issue.
He died in that issue?
What the!?! I have to go back and read that one again.

[OneOne78]

That makes two of us

[DDura711]

I think that Blink would be the must have out of all of them.
Shock, you would want Blink. That really surprised me. :laugh:

[marvelboi77]

What AOA Bust would YOU most like to have?

I hate to disagree, but the Dark Phoenix Saga is arguably the most popular (and best) X-Men story in history.

AoA doesn't even compare.

That being said, it's Blink!

[stephen_strange]

Since there is no Colossus option... It's Sunfire (the most dramatic AOA character).

[Dead_Poole]

Gotta be Apocalypse!! He was sooooo cool cuz he finally got a chance to not have a frickin 60's letter for a belt buckle. Cmon marvel...lose all the letters already. And who wouldnt want this thing standing bout 14-15 inches tall on a shelf somewheres!! OHHHH YEAH BABY!!!

[TEXAN75]

An flash from the past.
think how cool Holocaust would look with the skelaton through the yellow clear resin! :buttrock:

[Mad4Busts]

Hey Danny here are most of the principal characters there are many others...but this gives you the general idea....

By the way I voted for Iceman, ever since Spidey and his amazing friends I have a tender spot for ole Bobby Drake

[valemeister]

This link gives you some good character images from AoA.

http://ultimatecomics.free.fr/xmen/imagesaoa1.htm

Due to the lack of a Sabretooth option, I voted for Blink. I think she'd make a great bust. As cool as the Sunfire costume was, I don't know how well it'd translate into a bust given all that fire. Could be cool...but it's not a dead cert.

[Tattoo-X]

I would buy AoA busts. Even Amalgam.
AoA
#1 - Weapon X
#2 - Dark Beast

Amalgam
#1 - Dark Claw
#2 - Lobo the Duck
#3 - Wonder Woman
#4 - Spider-Boy
#5 - Super Soldier

[BobbyW]

Blink gets my vote, bust or statue! A very detailed Dark Beast has to be second.

[nexus]

Blink-a-de-blink-blink.
Then the rest of the exiles.
AOA was just a period so unless there was a Phase IV don't see a real market for these characters. However the character design was good on a lot of them.

[OneOne78]

I hate to disagree, but the Dark Phoenix Saga is arguably the most popular (and best) X-Men story in history.

AoA doesn't even compare.

That being said, it's Blink!
I agree with the Dark Phoenix Saga as far as AOA bust go I'd pass on them.

[kayelefkay]

Its a toss-up between Sunfire and Blink for me, the two most visually dramatic characters from AoA. I think Blink would be easier to translate to 3D but damn, Sunfire is hot. I voted Sunfire.

[AJRodriquez]

I would have to agree that Sunfire would be my first choice and Blink would come in second. Both have a distinct look that we haven't seen in any other mini.

[Justin]

All would make great busts, I'm pretty sure Randy has stated thats he's not intrested in making AOA busts tho :-(

[deaconbluezzz]

Sure, alot of them would look nice, but 10 years down the road who the Hell is gonna know who any of those characters are? AOA was an interesting "Elseworlds" story, but it was by no means the Be All And End All of X-events. If Blink or Morph are still relevant and in use 10 years from now, then fine, go ahead and make them. The rest are just one-shot variants that really shouldn't eat up time on a limited schedule...or knock a more deserving prospect off the list.

Just because a character looks cool, that doesn't mean they ought to be sculpted.

[Justin]

Just to play the devils advocate here, Hasnt it already been 10 years? I'm pretty sure most people know who the characters are. :eplus2:

[deaconbluezzz]

I meant 10 years from this date. Let a character get a good 20 years under their belt before we start talking about making busts or statues...otherwise right now we'd all be trying to unload our Sleepwalker & Darkhawk busts ;).

[deaconbluezzz]

I will admit though that a bust of either Blink or Morph would be infinately preferable to Bishop...a character who, IMO, arrived on the tail end of the worst trend of comic characters, the mullet-having, trenchcoat-wearing, big-gun-wielding, bad-ass period of the 90's.

LOL!! Who, by the way, I have seen on eBay recently with a $125 BIN price. Boy are people trying to bail out of that sinking ship.

[Nightcrawler777]

I went with blink...
But its a really tough call...

[Justin]

I get what your saying Deacon, as i said.. I was just playing the devils advocate

[Tattoo-X]

Sure, alot of them would look nice, but 10 years down the road who the Hell is gonna know who any of those characters are?


..........still relevant and in use 10 years from now

What does that have to do with any character?
How often have you seen Moleman, FFF, or Taskmaster in the last 10 years?

[Tattoo-X]

Just because a character looks cool, that doesn't mean they ought to be sculpted.
It is ONE of the reasons it SHOULD be.

[deaconbluezzz]

*shrug*

It's just my opinion...if it were up to me I wouldn't have gone ahead with any of them either. Well, perhaps Mole Man since he was the FF's first villain.

[deaconbluezzz]

I think most busts ought to satisfy at least two of these catagories:

1.) Historical significance.
2.) Visual appeal.
3.) Frequency of appearances.
4.) Number of years the character has been around.

As I said before, it's just my opinion...YMMV.

[Tattoo-X]

1.) Historical significance. Debatable
2.) Visual appeal. Debatable
3.) Frequency of appearances. Not Debatable
4.) Number of years the character has been around. Not Debatable

As I said before, it's just my opinion...YMMV.
Most of the members fit all 4 catagories.

The 60's are over deacon its time to at least accept some characters that were created 80s and 90s. ;) AOA was a huge success and many younger (and older) fans really like those characters.

Ever since Doop was released as a bust its hard to argue against any Marvel character being busted.

[deaconbluezzz]

Why do I even bother? Next time I see any AOA threads I'm just gonna console myself with the knowledge that Bowen Designs will never TOUCH these characters, and then allow everyone here to engage in their delusionary bouts of mental masturbation ;)

[Tattoo-X]

Okay, whatever.
You probably never thought to see Doop done either.

[Twoguns-Crowley]

I voted for Sunfire although there are several I would get if produced.

[Justin]

if people cant dream about something they would love to see happen actually happen the world becomes a little less of an exciting place, I know we are only talking about busts here but the theory still applies!

[marvelboi77]

Blink needs to be made this go around...

[Roguewarrior]

Blink definetly Blink. :rolleyes2

Tell us again how you used to buy 2 comics and a coke for a quarter when you were a kid. :laugh: :tounge: ;)

At least that old fart Zurb tries to relate to items made after his childhood days (the 1840s).

"BURN!" :eplus2:

[Tao]

AOA Iceman was the coolest....damn, now I really sound like a geek.

[MIMIC]

I prefer Morph :buttrock:

[MaxGoof]

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I remember when I made this poll WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in 2005...

[Vince-Vell]

You wasted a voting option with X-man, the worst Marvel character in history. :banghead: :stick:

I vote to have BC banned from statue forum! Cause hes one of my all time fav characters and want a bust of him!

Even tho i allmost finished my custom of him!

[the wolverine]

Blink

[Ink]

cyclops

[superdoug]

Since we're only allowed one choice, I picked X-Man, because I really dug the character. But then, I'm a big fan of 'what-if' and alternate-u storylines.

But, if I were honest, I would want Nate, Blink, and Morph. I'd also love a Rogue in her AOA outfit, perhaps holding her infant son. :)

[logan25]

Holocaust could be cool

[stormshadow75x]

i definitely got to go with Blink followed by Holocaust & X-Man

[Darkholme]

My top choice would be Nightcrawler, but since he wasn't an option, Holocaust would be my next choice.

I was disappointed that two of the Diamond Select AoA busts were "wasted" on characters that only appeared in the 10th anniversary miniseries. AND no Apocalypse!

Me too. By the way, welcome aboard.

[rychehitman]

Sabretooth and Wild Child

Yup. But the DS Blink bust is pretty nice, though.

[Raven1014]

Holocaust, with Morph a very close second.

[tyler]

Blink!

[Jameshowlett]

Well I just had to throw this in this thread. How cool would it be to have a AOA bust line? Very cool.Even better would be a FS line but I know that is not going to g happen from BD, but this is a pic of AOA Apoc done by 2 members on the boards here.
I'd love
apoc
magneto
Weapon X
Cyclops
Nightcralwer
of heck all of them!
