[Vracula]

Interesting.

[Raas Kaaz]

no clue what/who he is.. but I like those kind of character designs

[Demona]

Not sure if I get the tusks/bullets/bones that stick out of his cheekbones, but the rest of him looks cool!

[majestic1]

I think this is the first COTD piece to be refereed to as a maquette.

[Mr.Mxyzptlk]

wonder if this is going to be the whole piece?

[forps]

Day 1, second 1 po for me. I f...g love this line (COTD). The definition of art!

[EnShinNoi]

Why does it receive the maquette title? Different scale?

[XIIIWARRIOR]

Looks pretty awesome to me and I don't even know who he is. As a collector...I'm starting to realize that I prefer a more dynamic pose instead of the traditional museum stand that's currently being sold in the market. It doesn't scream laziness and appears much more exciting IMO.

[Dirt Torpedo]

Meh.

[jcasalone]

Given his name and appearance, that is Genghis Khan, no?

Pretty cool (imo) if that is the inspiration.

[Fremen]

wonder if this is going to be the whole piece?

This looks a lot like a certain World of Warcraft piece I have.

[DPmaster]

This looks a lot like a certain World of Warcraft piece I have.

This one?

[DeadGhostKnight]

I love the COTD line but i do choose my pieces from it carefully, i don't buy pieces just because its part of the line.

This looks good but i don't know if a hulking brute will fit into the rest of the line, super interested to see it though.

[SONICobra]

reminds me a lot of the apocalypse pf based off this picture

[Valderen]

The CotD is the only thing I collect now. This looks awesome but it's probably the first that doesn't seem to fit with the rest design wise.

I wonder what scale it is, will it fit with the rest in my collection.

[DPmaster]

I imagine this will be 1/4 scale but will be higher priced due to the Maquette tag.

[dechirico7]

Cool, was wondering when he would be done.
Aren't we still waiting on three original pieces?

[Johnneeukca]

Why does it receive the maquette title? Different scale?

Different price. ;)

[grphyx1]

I feel like I'm looking at an albino Orc. This one is not giving me the stank of death. Interesting looking though

[Morgul Steve]

This looks a lot like a certain World of Warcraft piece I have.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

[Fremen]

This one?

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/2804_press01-001.jpg

Yes.

[Fremen]

The CotD is the only thing I collect now. This looks awesome but it's probably the first that doesn't seem to fit with the rest design wise.



I agree with this. I'll probably skip this piece.

[Nugchompa]

Too WoW for me as well. I'll be skipping.

[Kovenor]

Day 1 for me.. but why is it a Marquette. Wished they would just keep everything the same scale

[loricstone]

If it's from the original creator guy that started the line...then it fits with the rest of the line. I will never disrespect (not saying you are) someone else's creative original IP by what I think should fit.

This character absolutely fits because SS created it and feels that it does. It just seems to me that some collectors have tunnel vision. Heaven, hell and Deaths realm is permeating with an almost limitless (potentially) amount of various constructs, angels and demons.

[Fremen]

I may have tunnel vision but that's okay by me.
I'll only buy what I like.

[loricstone]

I may have tunnel vision but that's okay by me.
I'll only buy what I like.

AS you should but my comment wasn't about what you should buy. It's about respecting the creator's vision...whether you like it or not.

This is coming from a person's own creative ideas and for someone else to tell him / her what should or should not be a part of his vision is pure arrogance.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Kinda has a comic book/Darksiders vibe to him. He doesn't really fit the other characters much but is cool for sure

[Vallos]

No one is being disrespectful do the artist's vision. They are stating their own subjected point of view of the art they see.

[Fremen]

This. Exactly.
I never said I dislike it. It's just not the kind of piece I look for in this line. Doesn't mean it's bad. I just don't want it. I like this line for the dark gothic beautiful stuff. I skipped Red Death because I don't find it beautiful in anyway.

[grphyx1]

Loric what is going on with you. You are being a bit preachy and antagonistic. Fremen merely said it doesn't fit in with the other COTD statues.

[Sathis]

I am almost wondering if the Maquette title is just coming from the fact that he is HUGE in comparison to the other brutes in the universe.

He might be a towering titan of a character, and if in PF form he would have been gigantic compared to the rest as well as $$$$ at that size.

He is VERY basic compared to the rest, but I like the idea of a Pale skinned brute being next to my Gethsomi as he bodyguard if that is his true purpose. I always love companion pieces if they both fit together.

I am excited to see possible the details in the base, and what is below his waist. He could be VERY demonic looking in the legs which will give him a nice amount of detail, and extra flair to fit in with the rest of the line.

[Raas Kaaz]

This looks a lot like a certain World of Warcraft piece I have.

to me could be a character from God of War Game

[dechirico7]

This. Exactly.

I am the same way.
I have no interest in this big guy. He looks cool, but won't get him.
Love the rest of the Court though.

[lucifixion]

And this certainly wouldn't be the first time an "artist" lost their way a little. It happens all the time. I don't actually feel one way or the other about this one specifically.

[bonedaddy77]

I'm a court fan so enjoy seeing any new piece. I will be skipping this one though

[DPmaster]

Oddly enough, this is probably the piece I'm most interested in for the Court of the Dead. This and Cleopsis.

[SONICobra]

edit: nvm :penguin:

I was not attacking Fremen for her collecting choices...nor DeadGhostKnight. People collect what they want to collect...I respect that.

I was initially responding to what I highlighted because how can anyone outside of the Original Creator of this unique IP know what fits in and what doesn't? It appears a lot of thought has gone into this line, and to just dismiss the character because he looks too "orcish" is a bit presumptuous IMO.

Keep in mind...I'm not talking about what one collects...hell...I don't have any of the CotD (due mostly to QC issues), but who am I to say what should or should not belong or fit to another person's vision?

Comments in this vein just rub me the wrong way.

[Eky]

Exactly the same and i don 't have red death but all the other statues and i love them all.

i am not digging this art but i look forward seeing the statue.

And maybe the little completist voice in me will make me buy those 2. but actually i don't hear it.

Everyone has a say in what does or does not belong, or what something does or does not mean. Once the artist releases it into the world it is no longer his.

It's similar to when people say things like, "The writer said this means this, so that is what it means." It honestly doesn't matter what the writer says. His opinion or intention is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme once the "art" is being consumed. Again, I'm just speaking theoretically, not specifically to this statue.

His opinion or intention is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme once the "art" is being consumed. Again, I'm just speaking theoretically, not specifically to this statue.

Theoretically speaking if the artist or writer states the intended purpose and the consumer states that isn't what they received from the art, then it is the consumer who may have wholly missed the point of the art and isn't seeing the actual vision as it was intended. Which is no fault of the artist, since they had a specific purpose to their creation, so I'd disagree and say it does matter what the artist says as they know the intended purpose for which the art was created and how it was supposed to be viewed. The consumer can then perhaps see the art from the creators perception.

Just putting that out there.

[Vallos]

The interpretation of art is always in the eye of the beholder, but said art will always belong to its creator. Its his/her vision that holds true.

Having said that, no one is "attacking" the vision of the artist. Since art is always subjective, the end result affects people differently. The artist saw Odium belonging aesthetically to the overall theme to this line, while others did not, and both viewpoints is perfectly fine. One can critique art respectfully without attacking the artist and his/her vision.

I'm certain almost, if not all, artists will agree with that. Speaking as one myself... I surely do!

[Kovenor]

I think the COTD needs a big hulking monster to tear ---- up. Fits perfectly IMO.. and he does lòok dead.. looks like he's stitched together like a Frankenstein or something.

[rinyx]

Totally agree! Considering this universe has a large range of human-looking to...abomination like creatures, this guy seems to fit right in.

[Vallos]

"A champion of the Flesh Faction will make his grand entrance soon.."

[DeadGhostKnight]

Maybe i should have said it doesn't fit for ME, i also have these feelings for Gallevarbe but i'm hoping the new version changes my mind on her.

The Chronicle shows lots of cool and different designs, the idea of a hulking creature definitely sits best in Flesh for me, i'm just not sure it fits with all the other designs, but like i said i'm really hoping when i see him i'm bowled over and think that he totally works for the faction and for the rest of the Court.

[DeadGhostKnight]

He's being shown on SS live in a bit :)

[Amplac]

He is massive!

[BurningRage]

He is massive!

That's what she said.

[rinyx]

Well holy crap.

[Amplac]

Lol

[DeadGhostKnight]

Ok its huge and rather impressive lol.

[Vallos]

27"!!! 15-18 lbs.!!!

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp13/Vallos/Screenshot%207_zps6jft9adv.png

[SONICobra]

well that looks pretty fraggin sick, kind of has a mad max meets hulk meets frankenstein vibe going on

[Raas Kaaz]

its very cool ! but dont think it kind of matches into the line visually..

[rinyx]

More shots.

[COI]

Does he even lift?

[Nugchompa]

I cant determine if I like this statue or not. It's a weird feeling, so I'm probably going to go with no.

[DeadGhostKnight]

I hope they offer the head with the mask or the mask attaches like they said, i think he will look eve better with it.

[Sinema]

meh.....reminds me a little of Theokoles from Spartacus show

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c3/28/b6/c328b6235197e15ba797b39c3086f3d2--spartacus-ara.jpg

[Sathis]

Love everything about it! Time to faint come PO time when I see the price for such a GIANT statue!

[Aphotic]

This guy is so damn big, he looks great! Not invested in the line, but they're knocking these out the park, great job SS!

[forps]

A Martin Canale (+Gore Group) sculpt ? Hell, yeahhhhh

Well, i am a simply man. I see Martin Canale as sculptor of a piece, i press the po button!

[DPmaster]

Looks pretty awesome. Kind of worries me though that it's 27" and only 15-18 lbs. Seems really light for what it looks like it should be.

[Vallos]

They said the base is solid. The body will mostly be hollow, while the smaller pieces will be solid.

[Barbarian]

Good call. Bane + Theokoles = This. Although interesting at first glance, I don't think I'm feeling it overall... not yet, at least.

[BLACK OPS]

Would look amazing paired off against Conan the undying rage pf.

[Kovenor]

Wowzie this thing is massive! What an awesome piece!!

[MrJones]

Does he even lift?

:hilarious:

Nailed it

I think the statue looks amazing. For some reason I have a real interest in statues I have zero knowledge about. Maybe I can just appreciate them with no bias knowing I will never purchase it? I dunno... looks like a beast though!

I thought the statue looked badass though admittedly this photo kinda ruined it for me.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Easy pass. It's huge, but not particularly appealing to me.

[crimsinwing1989]

Just saw on youtube, looks much better in the video.

[Indomitus]

No interest but a very cool looking statue. More thumbs up for Sideshow. :thumbs2:

[majestic1]

Not really feeling this one, to me it doesn't have that genuine creepiness of the COTD line, he is more over the top, exaggerated comic book style horror. Looks like a Marvel Zombies version of Planet Hulk.

Seeing this just makes me wish the Gore Group/Martin Canale would make a huge Juggernaut PF.

[Mr.Mxyzptlk]

Seeing this just makes me wish the Gore Group/Martin Canale would make a huge Juggernaut PF.

100% agree on Juggernaut!!!! Also would like to see Etrigan the Demon, cazador by ariel olivetti & Dave Wilkins EL Zombo would make for some epic BEEFY sculpts by the Gore Group!

[majestic1]

I think Mortighull will be designed to pair off with Odium.

http://i66.tinypic.com/wvvnk0.png

[AdamTheAnimal]

Solomon Grundy unchained. Hopefully they will make one one day with similar proportions.

[EnShinNoi]

That thing is a ****ing beast and I'm not even sure it's 1:4 scale. I say this because it has the maquette title and he's even larger in the above artwork. On the other hand, Gallevarbe wasn't 1:4 scale and didn't receive the maquette title.

Meh, so long as they all look good together.

[Valderen]

Saw it on YouTube, he looks awesome. I still think he doesn't fit with the rest, but I might get him anyways, and if I do I think I will display him by himself and not with the rest of the colllection. I have just the place in mind. I fear that the price might be too high though.

[SolidLiquidFox]

Juggernaut.....thats all I see when I see this thing.

The damn Juggernaut they won't or can't make.

[MrJones]

I watched the livestream which featured this character.

Two things I want to mention:

If a Sideshow rep sees this - I absolutely love when you have an artist(s) on the show to discuss their process in conceptualizing the statues. I find it so interesting and I always have a deeper appreciation for every character after hearing the artist talk about it.

Question - Are these court of the dead based on something? They have such a rich backstory for this character and it seems like every character in this line. Does Sideshow make all of this up? It sounds super interesting.

No, its not based on anything. While Tom stated he had inspirations, his vision and story is entirely original.

[MrJones]

That's awesome! This universe should be made into a comic. I would read that for sure.

[COI]

Juggernaut.....thats all I see when I see this thing.

First thing I thought of when I saw this was Doomsday.

[OhHaiMark]

That's awesome! This universe should be made into a comic. I would read that for sure.

There are some digital comics on their official Court of the Dead website: https://courtofthedead.com/comics/

[oddlysober]

I am pretty excited about the novellas that will be coming out next year. Odium was not in the Chronicles of the Underworld, it'll be cool to learn more about him.

[Vallos]

He is briefly shown on the Flesh faction splash page. Odd they did not have a description of him.

[Dave Mac]

The story is still expanding but it already seems to be a great time to get into it. Odium can be compared to Hulk, Juggernaut, Abomination, Bane etc but he just looks too cool and different and deserves his place in the line up of CotD. The only problem might be SS flooding us with so many choices too early before we get into the full story.

[MrJones]

There are some digital comics on their official Court of the Dead website: https://courtofthedead.com/comics/

Awesome... Im going to see if I can open these on my phone. Thank you kindly.

[majestic1]

This guy was teased years ago, I remember seeing him on one of the COTD faction posters from 2014

[dino76m]

Seems weapon h hulk seems.ti be inspired from this..specially the nails protuding

[SONICobra]

I like the looks of that dude with the hood

[Comicbookguy]

Why does it receive the maquette title? Different scale?

Double to triple the price with maquette meaning movie character correct? Maquettes are from movies demanding 3 times the prices!

[Phil the sixth]

I need this in my collection.Impossible to pass on this 27" tall beast.Amazing work Sideshow!
Reminds me of an Azog type character on steroids!lol

[kolektan]

who is this guy??!!!!!
HE IS A BEAST!!!

He is my #1 favorite shown from the new stuff, and Poxxil is for sure #2.

I can not wait to own ALL these wonderful new characters in the future! SS has got my money for a good long time!

[toe]

This is the only statue that made me stop at Sideshow booth aside from all the Hot Toys figures. Bad ass piece.

from the style, I was debating it could be Martin Canale or Shiftlett bros.

Now I’m worried this will be PVC.

In the liveshow on 12/7/17 they mention that they will be using Fibreglass.

Early report with some collector received with damage waist area as shown in the last pic!

[Force of Nature]

Thanks for sharing these great pictures Vic Viper; Odium sure looks amazing! :buttrock:
Congrats and kudos with this impressive piece! :D

Rainer

[Y3E]

Holy cr@p! that is impressive.

Sorry to see you received a damage piece.

[SONICobra]

thats one gnarly looking statue, congrats :buttrock:

what country you live in? looks like a cool city

[Tarksis]

I was worried that he would be pushed again. Thank you so much for posting as this has made me very excited to receive mine! Sorry for the breakage, such a heartbreaker.

[Biggunz]

Yeah this is one great looking statue and the price is reasonable.

Whats the weight on it and what's it feel like since SS says its fiberglass and pVc?

Will it float LOL.

[Tarksis]

Will it float LOL.

My guess...absolutely, lol

[Biggunz]

Haha. I hope not because then were really screwed with the Star Wars bear potatoe and I really want that one.

[Atlantisatdawn]

Vic viper, those are great pics, the damaged waist sucks though, man the last few from the Court have looked just sick, wish sideshow would do a little more with this line than they have the last year or so, but anyways love the pictures

[Vic Viper]

These are not from my collection guys, I just wanted to share some of the pics from the Chinese hobby forum as they always seems to get their hands on the new releases first.

I am also not crazy enough to drop a grand plus shipping on this piece.

[Tarksis]

Odium has been pushed from Jan-Feb to Feb... :(

They have some waist management to tackle I guess.

[equi-nox76]

Mesmerizing statue, I like the detail a lot on this one. Would like to see him next to Juggernaut.
Chris

Agreed, I know the price is high, but its one of my favorite from the Court

This statue seems to be the same size as Juggernaut maq and comes with more add-ons and is priced $300 less than the EX version, so price is high but much more agreeable.

*over $400 less

Yes no doubt, I know juggernaut is much more popular, but I like this statues look a lot more

[Mister Ski]

I'm sure Marvel license is what contributes to the higher price point.

Unboxing video was just released.

He looks really well done.

I saw a lot of people pissed off that Poxxils top half is Vinyl....i can't wait for them to react to this because i'm pretty sure he's all fibreglass with the base being resin and the elements being Vinyl/PVC.

Again it makes sense to me because of the pose and the elements were listed form day one on the order page....but i expect a little rage as usual lol.

[Atlantisatdawn]

DGK, I'm glad Poxxil is light, because the one leg holding him up is pretty small, it actually scared me putting his leg in the slot, it was super tight and I thought I was gonna break it off, luckily it didnt, the statue still looks great and Odium based off the pictures looks great as well, I would rather him be light than lean or break apart, I'm sure people have there reasons, but the weight means nothing to me

Statues with legs like that could easily be reinforced with metal and polystone done right is not supposed to lean. However with PVC it's actually the opposite, PVC does lean overtime (and degrade). More modern usage of it hopefully does not but only time will tell. Older anime figures however tend to have developed a lot of problems and they tend to provide supports for bits that hang off too much (even newer ones) because otherwise they would lean. So what you are hoping will help this statue in the long run will more likely hurt it....

[The General]

Wow this statue is nuts. Freaking awesome.

Poxxil is all polystone from the waist down and i wouldn't be surprised if there was a metal rod running through that leg too.

If he was all polystone then there would be problems imo, because that 1 chicken leg supporting a solid polystone body would lead to trouble.

That 1 solid leg supporting a vinyl body makes much more sense. SS used vinyl is a smart way with him.

If it's vinyl I'm not sure as I don't really know how well vinyl holds up. I only have a couple vinyl figures and never really looked into them. For PVC even if it's just the top half some of that could easily stop drooping as time goes on if the PVC of today is of a similar quality of just a decade or so ago (I keep hearing it isn't, but who really knows that talks :P). Polystone is pretty strong when done right, but support should be added just in case (especially as the factories skimp as much as they can ;p)

[Atlantisatdawn]

Dao2, I'm just assuming Poxxil and Odium have such leaning designs and big top portions that they felt it was the best option, you may be right about them drooping over time, but hopefully sideshow has studied this stuff, and hopefully what DGK said was right about the bottom portion

Pretty sure they did it for their bottom line and no other reason :P If it's vinyl I don't know about vinyl though. I had thought someone said PVC. But yeah I don't think they are doing any of this because it's a better material for the statue, they are doing it because it's cheaper.

[Tarksis]

Final payment notice for next Tuesday, should have him first week of Feb!

[Y3E]

There was discussion about the cost of using vinyl in the Swamp Thing thread and someone mentioned it actually cost more to use vinyl.

I have a fibreglass 1/4 custom statue and it is 8 years old and it has held up over time. No leaning, especially when one character is holding another character, doing a fastball special. So if part of the body is fibreglass, should be no worries.

[Thor57]

If it was due to the bottom line, then every statue they put out would be getting made top to bottom in those materials.

I am firmly in the camp that it was made from the materials it was due to the engineering involved.

[Tarksis]

Preparing to ship!!!

It is, and they have tried making the entire statue in PVC before (cheaply, not properly) and it came with serious flaws and tons of people had issues with the piece (it was a superman one, had terrible seam lines due to the PVC). Pretty much every company makes things as cheaply as they can and still make it passable to customers (smaller newer ones probably not really). Most are not trying to make "premium" prodcuts, especially not SS. They could absolutely make the thing in better quality resin, hell they could even do a metal armature in there and probably still make money. But not as much money, and that's the point. Anything they do is what they figure is the cheapest way to do something and make it look like a way they feel is acceptable so their customers will be happy with it, a few companies try to go "above and beyond" in this industry and SS hasn't been one of them for many many years (generally they'll be smaller and especially newer companies trying to get their name out).

[Tarksis]

I should have him tomorrow by EOD. Will let you know what I think of the materials when I have him in hand and hopefully get some photos up shortly after.

[Tarksis]

Odium just arrived at the office, #159/300. Wasn't expecting an art box and the art is pretty cool, one more enormous box for the garage! No breaks or damage, yay!! I will get a weight on him when I get home as I haven't lifted him out of the box yet, just searched for damage. I can't speak to how heavy he feels in the hand yet so I'm excited for that.

[Atlantisatdawn]

Tarksis, glad he arrived safely to you, cool looking box art for sure

[Divo]

That is one cool looking box. Another beast of a sculpt. If I started collecting this line, which has been excruciatingly tempting, I’d be a deadman.

[Atlantisatdawn]

Just received him today, this statue is enormous, I was worried about his arms and weapons, but they do have a little flexibility at the tips which is good, when I opened the box I noticed the head looked crooked and was afraid it was broken since the unboxing video showed the body as one whole piece, but actually the head is removable and is magnetic, I'm not exactly sure what all materials they used on him, but he's very heavy, and looks gigantic even beside Demithyle

He is REALLY big, and I have him near my Gladiator Hulk and can't decide which is more massive. Hulk looks like he may be taller with larger hands, feet and head, but Odium's upper body is crazy huge. Glad to hear yours showed up safe and sound!

[Atlantisatdawn]

Thanks Tarksis, definitely the biggest statue I own now, wish I had the Hulk statue as well, they both look killer

[Thor57]

Mine came in missing one of the spikes on his calf muscle on the back leg. Also, I'm okay with the neck seam in this case because he's sewn together from parts, but, there is a noticeable gap in mine. Not sure if thats normal. Just talked to Sideshow and they got me in queue with the parts department to sort it out.

Man that sucks, mine has a gap around the neck, but it's not real bad, also I have him displayed on a short stand so I dont see up under him that much, and like you said I sorta consider since he's sewn together it's ok, but if it's a big gap they should fix that, this thing is to expensive to just settle for ok

[Atlantisatdawn]

Also this is off topic, but IF the COTD continues making statues, tell me Wightshiv would not be killer!

[Tarksis]

I feel for those of you who had damaged Odiums. Gethsemane should have done a better job sewing this guy together for us. Not a fan of the mixed media loin cloth or fur tassels, so I looped them up on his side out of sight. Overall I love it! The sculpt and paint came out great IMO. He displays really well but is very deep with his lunge and weapon. His portrait is outstanding with no excessive gap at the neck seem on mine. I prefer seeing his face to the mask. He has a good weight and feels sturdy to me despite lighter materials. He locks in securely with two tabs, one large one in resin (?) and the second a steel rod. I don't have any other statues in the COTD line...just liked Odium. Finally got around to taking some pics.

Looks beastly good, which would be impossible to overlook in any collection. Very cool.

Thanks Divo! Wishing our Sabertooth's would be unleashed.

[Kriegsfuerst]

This statue is just awesome. Odium has such a presence! There is just one flaw: the paint job of the base is pretty boring and lame. They sell it as a maquette, so for this price even the base should have been top notch. But otherwise one of the best quarter scales I own.
