Walking Dead Statue

[Archangel]

Has there been anything new said about The Walking Dead statue that Moore is doing?

[leks]

Bummer I thought you had pics...

[candyrocket786]

? :laugh:

[Archangel]

Bummer I thought you had pics...

Nope sorry, no pictures. Is CS Moore as forthcoming with advance pictures as Bowen is?

[bane]

Dang was also expecting pics !!

[bat_collector]

I need to know!

Is it Rick, is it a zombie? Who is it?

[Duke]

I need to know!

Is it Rick, is it a zombie? Who is it?

Agreed, this sounds interesting. Didn't even know a Walking Dead statue was in the works. Cool :buttrock: .

[Wolverine1]

I hope it is based on the cover with the zombie with chains and someone walking next to it.

[ant-man]

never knew this was happening....look forward to seeing some previews.... :inquisiti

[Archangel]

This guy would make a great sculpt!

[CanadianMachine]

These would make a great line of statues.

[Nightcrawler777]

Ok you guys all think Walking Dead statues would be Cool But when i said i Would really like a Y The Last Man Statue you said it would be boring since it was just a Human?!?!

What would be the Difference here???
Any of the Main Characters would be Humans..

Dont get me wrong im all for some Walking Dead Statues But i just dont see how it would be any different then a Yorick Statue..

At least with Yorick you get a Monkey...

[Archangel]

Now this would be a wicked statue!

[thecallahan]

It should be Rick caving in a zombie's head with his trusty hatchet!

[Grumpy]

There's a fricking Walking Dead thread here? And Moore is doing a Walking Dead statue? Holy moly, I've died and gone to . . . wait a minute . . . that's just wrong! I didn't know a statue was in the works based on my favorite comic. I had been hoping Randy would do some zombies but Moore would be a fantastic alternative!

I'm a huge Walking Dead fan too, what do think a good statue should be of? It's kind of hard to pin point a great visual moment in the book to make a statue of. I thought of Rick riding his motorcycle but I think that would be to much like Bowen's Ghostrider.

[Wolverine1]

Now this would be a wicked statue!
That is the cover I was talking about!

[bat_collector]

I wouldn't buy a statue based on a cover of a character I'm not even that fond of in the series.

It has to be Rick or a zombie.

[MiamiLoco]

Hey B_L_C, maybe you can get Ray to do a Zombie Version of Logan, sans the cowboy hat, LOL :p

[Archangel]

Drod, is there any chance we could see the jpeg that Moore sent for the Walking Dead statue? Many thanks for getting the Moore interview!

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 19, 2006

For information, contact service@csmoorestudio.com


The Walking Dead creator and writer Robert Kirkman has granted The CS Moore Studio the license to create statues and other items based on the highly popular and critically-acclaimed Image Comics series.


The Studio’s first piece will be a dramatic statue of the series hero Rick Grimes fighting off zombies from the hood of a crashed muscle car. This limited-edition statue will have the detail and quality that collectors have come to expect from Clayburn Moore and The CS Moore Studio, and will bring Kirkman’s story to life (so to speak) for the horror series’ legions of fans.


“Working with Robert Kirkman is just terrific,” said CS Moore Studio President Clayburn Moore. “He’s had some great ideas for this first piece, and Charlie Adlard has drawn up a fantastic sketch based on our design. We think Walking Dead fans will love it.”


"Clayburn Moore is at the top of his game," said Kirkman. "I couldn't be more thrilled to have him lending his enormous talents to The Walking Dead property. From what I've seen on Charlie's design and Clay's previous work, I can tell this statue is going to be AMAZING."


Release date, edition size and pricing will be announced soon. A sketch of the piece is available for viewing at www.csmoorestudio.com/walking_dead.htm


For information on this and other upcoming CS Moore Studio productions as it is available, please visit www.csmoorestudio.com

That might be cool.

[devlinboy]

the sketch looks great. wonder the scale?

[ELMI*]

I suppose 1:6

That sounds really cool.

Yay!!! :buttrock:

[mitchanator]

i might get this one i just finished reading the omnibus and it's great

[Archangel]

I agree, in my opinion it's one of the best written books out now. Plus ZOMBIES! How can you go wrong?

[thecallahan]

Sounds expensive..... Damnit! :D

[mitchanator]

YES!!!!!! :D :buttrock:

[comicbkguy]

I suppose 1:6

I can't remember the exact size Clay mentioned to me, but I do remember that it is going to be smaller than 1:6. For both display and cost reasons 1:6 wouldn't work, so don't worry the price won't be as bad as you might have thought.

[wizard-comics]

tempting....very tempting...will have to have more info..i.e. price :)

[Ghost]

So kewl, and great piece to start with! Can't wait to see WIPshots!

Price shouldn't be an issue when you're looking for quality :)

[BOWEN NUT]

Sweet!! I'm looking forward to this. I love the comic series.

[Zoyvod]

I wonder if there will be a exclusive version with the headlights dimming out on the car.

[Grumpy]

Sorry Arc, been away from the forum for a while. I travel for a living and don't always have access to the computer. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Walking Dead - it's the only comic I have ever ordered two compies of for my LCS file! I'm now the proud owner of two complete mint sets of the whold series to this point. I met the original artist at the San Diego Con where he was doing sketches of folks as what they would look like as a zombie but I had him do one of Deadpool (my favorite character). I've looked at the Clay Moore sketch but am not sure what I think as I would prefer individual zombies to make a mob scene. Certainly the heroes should be done. Anyway, I'm certainly looking forward to the end product.

[risingstar]

Always nice to see out-of-mainstream statues being done for the hardcore fans.

[Archangel]

Anything new on this sculpt yet?

This is posted in Kirkman's column at comicbookresouces.com:

And then we have a zombie sculpted by the great Clayburn Moore. I wonder what this could be for. No really... I'm pretty curious.

Get in line with the rest of us.

[Archangel]

Robert Kirkman has said that the statue is apparently being sculpted and is in it's approval stage right now.

"It looks better than you could ever imagine.

You guys are going to love it.

-Robert"

To bad there aren't any updated pictures yet.

[rilynil]

Thanks for the update, Pete! I would have thought we'd have our Ick statues by now.

[bat_collector]

yeah, what happened?

[comicbkguy]

The piece is in hand and waiting to be molded. But there are several projects ahead of it, so it may be awhile before I get to it

[kirthew]

I actually read 1-25 in the last couple days... first comic books I have read in some month... (I actually like the Trade Paper Back route) and this series is awsome... I would love to see a Rick statue where he has his axe imbedded in some zombies skull... or a Tyreese statue with his hammer raised in the air as a Zombie comes towards him.... I dont think you could get an entire line of the characters and make a statue line out of them.. but I think it would be good stuff...

And when is more Invincible stuff coming out? I want to see Atom Eve... Robot, Monster Girl... come on Clay... get with it.. :)

Featuring Rick Grimes fighting off a horde of zombie attackers, this highly detailed statue… ??? I only see one Zombie.

And it doesn't look anything like the concept sketch we saw. To tell you the truth, it don't look too great at all, IMO.

[tuv1305]

It looks like there's another zombie from the shoulder's up down at the very bottom of the base below the first zombie. The price is nice (depending what size this ends up being) but you're right, that doesn't look much like the concept drawing I remember

[spenca7]

wow this is hugely different from the concept art. Originally he was on a car with like two guns and a horde around the car. Loved the look of that one. this one not so much

Yeah, I'll be passing on this one.

[bat_collector]

I think they couldn't get the car in for some reason.

Its one of a few pieces too, zombies to be added to it.

I'll wait to see better pics of it.

[MONSTER]

Picture is too small to judge but I like the price. Also I like that it will connect to future pieces to make one large Zombie scene!!!

[MiamiLoco]

I saw the pic in the new Previews and I am VERY Disappointed :( He looks like he is helping that Zombie do the limbo by holding the nightstick, pretty laughable.

Also, it makes much more sense to have him standing on a dilapidated car, than to have him stand on some rocks, what is this, Hard Heroes?!! LOL

[ant-man]

well ..now i know why they waited so long to preview this piece...very stiff looking...nothing like the picure at all....ill be paasing on this probably....ashame i really loved the idea/concept...of piecing these together to make a larger scene...

Wow.

That artwork looks so awesome, but the final concept just...doesn't.

Too bad too, cuz I love the book more than anything currently on the stands.

[dead head]

Let me be the next to say that this statue is nothing like the picture, it's cheesy looking, I'm disappointed in it and I will not buy it. I will however continue to purchase the Zombie busts, still waiting on Ick. Just a little constructive critisisim, this new Rick Grimes statue blows goats, the original concept is much cooler being on a car surrounded by corpses. And the main zombie looks like Frankenstein or some shiz, is he wearing focking capris? Hope the next one is a lot better, at least make it interesting looking. :thumbsdow

Well, generally, people are very supportive of my work, so I should deal with it when people aren't. First, sorry that you all feel the piece doesn't measure up. I decided not to do the car because the car manufacturers are becoming more difficult and we didn't want to use a recognizable car and pay a royalty. The prices in China are rising drastically and doing a base would have added far too much to the retail of the piece. You'd have been paying $175.00 instead of $99.00 and no matter what you might say here-you would not have done it. Next, zombies are stiff. Period. They are THE WALKING DEAD. The walk stiffly. Rick has emptied his pistol and is pushing the zombie back with a short crowbar and lining him up to open up his head. It made sense to me then and it still does now. It made sense to Kirkman and he liked the idea. Cheesy? Robert Kirkmman approved this piece at every turn. Rick standing on the hood of a 60's muscle car isn't cheesy? This is about walking dead people who eat flesh. Get real.
Rick's head is down, he's looking determined as he prepares to finish off this guy. The zombie is wearing brown pants that have worn at the ankles and a red shirt. No mystery there. Regular brown pants....
We debuted the piece at the Pittsburgh show and the response was very good. It's not large-same scale as the torso busts. I think the pics come off stiffly, and I like the piece, but it really needs the added zombies to come off properly as it will with time as they are released. The photos are taken professionally by our regular photographer, but I don't feel they do it justice. However, I think it's a difficlt piece to shoot well.
You know, maybe Rick is too stiff, too. Like I said, people liked it when they saw it in person, but people are very nice at shows.
Sculptures throughout history have been done on rocky bases. I chose to do it becuase it was right for the piece. A lot of the comic takes place in the woods. I'm not going to stay away from an artistic choice because you all are tired of seeing it by another company.
Which brings up my final point. The smartass comments aren't appreciated. Keep it courteous just as we treat you with courtesy and respect at my company. If you have a point to make, I'll take it seriously, but this letter is a good example of why forums can be a total waste of my time.

Then how come they are able to use cars w/o paying for royalties in the Grand Theft Auto Games? None of those cars use recognizable names and it still works.

[Gir]

We haven't seen any decent pictures of the piece yet. It's hard to judge the piece based on that little picture.

Another point...if the sculptor is going to stay faithful to the source material in terms of style (and that appears to be the case), then this diorama will only look as good to you as the art found in the comic. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of the art in the comic, so I am not expecting to love this piece.

Gotcha.

Geez.

If you're a creator who's too thin-skinned to deal with the hyperbolistic nature of message board comments, then you really ought not read the forums anyhow.

If you're going to bask in the adulation, then be prepared to wipe the occasionally flung turd off your lapel as well.

[Bullseye]

Its very easy to be hyperbole in our critique of someones work from afar. All it shows is our lack of respect for an artists work and our inability to make our point without insult.

True, and I would never make a purposefully insulting comment about an artist's talent (well, in a music forum perhaps :redface: ). Critisizm about perceived shortcomings in a sculptor's projects is one thing, but no one should get nasty about it. However, in every messageboard I've ever seen, it sometimes gets out of hand...it's just the nature of the beast in an open forum where comments can be made without repercussions.

However, any creator who's spent more than a week reading internet messageboards ought to know this, and not get in such a snit about it.

It seems he just took the comments a little to heart..and as an artist myself, you have to net let the criticism's get to you...

[dead head]

Dear C.S. Moore,
I have no idea who you are, you're just a name on a box to me, I did not mean to personally attack you. I was venting frustration about my disappointment with the statue on a public forum, I thought that was what these were for. The Walking Dead is the only comic book I read regularly and it has gotten me back into the genre. It was out of my respect for the story that I posted an admittedly harsh comment, I never even thought that you would see it. I bought all the busts and think they look fantastic, they're like the coolest things I own, but I wanted to voice my opinion that the statue didn't do the art justice. The characters don't look as animated as in the picture, and yes I would have paid a higher price for a higher quality statue. Looking at the larger picture now, and having you personally describe the scene, it looks better than I first thought. I'll probably buy it. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, just being honest. Thanks for your time.

-Dead "dead head" Head

[patrickwm68]

Nice knowin' ya!

So was Clay saying they were going to make pieces to add onto this statue?

I always expect to pay $150.00 to $200.00 for a statue so yes I would have purchased it for that price if it looked like the concept drawing.

[MiamiLoco]

I don't get it, isn't it normal nowadays to pay 150 to 200 for a statue?!! I mean, Sideshow charges 190 for their model kits (a.k.a 12 inch imported toys).

[patrickwm68]

I don't get it, isn't it normal nowadays to pay 150 to 200 for a statue?!! I mean, Sideshow charges 190 for their model kits (a.k.a 12 inch imported toys).

Yeah, usually when a statue is under $100.00 it's small and unimpressive. Unless you're talking about DC Direct then you get small unimpressive statues for $200.00

[MONSTER]

I love that retail is $100.00

Its a great price point and a great sculpt IMO.

[rilynil]

Thanks for proving me absolutely correct. Anyone who comes on a forum with such vileness and vulgarity in their first two (!) posts doesn't deserve the opportunity to post anymore. I know if I owned the forum, you'd be gone forever. Same thing if I were a mod. Are you 12?

I still believe I am correct. "Doofus" is a much more socially accepted term than "**** smuggler." Plus, it's spelled correctly so bully for me. :thumbs2:

[tigertank1225]

i think dead head owes someone else an apology. or are you not man enough?

also here's some advice. take it or leave it.

just think first before you speak.:thumbs2:

Hi,

I just saw the Walking Dead pictures in the Moore website and according to the earlier comments had to post mine.

I have not read the comic books (seen some pictures though).
I have no interest in this title.

However I have seen the WD pictures by the author to which this is based on and was amazed how well this new statue is following the original idea, mood and the style. Ok, the actual pose is not exactly as in the picture but who could expect that? Of course there is differencies in here.

If I have ever to buy a walking dead statue I would by this.

I just went to my LCS and pre-ordered mine as soon as i saw a larger picture in Previews. Also the fact that they will release future zombie statues that will fit into the base of this piece to form a larger scene gives it the potential to be a awesome looking diorama.

So IMO thanks CS Moore Stuios for making a statue of my favorite book and i look forward to viewing and eventually owning any future pieces that you make of this diorama and any other pieces related to The Walking Dead.

I love the Walking Dead series, so I was really excited about this statue... but for now I'm holding off on it. There's something that looks off from the pose to me, but I'm reserving judgment until I can either see it in person or get some photos from other angles.

Perhaps it's just me, but at times it seems like photographers take their shots in either the worst possible conditions, or from the worst possible angles. I find it odd that most of the forum member's pictures show off statues much better than the professionals. I'm hoping that's the case here, that it's an unflattering photo from a bad angle.

I agree! These pics really show off the sculpt. :buttrock:

[GangstaRoranous]

I bet people will regret not ordering this later. It's just the way it goes. People b!tch and B!tch then when it's released and sold out people are crying "I want one PLEASE!":stick:

I agree sculptors and artists need to take the rough with the smooth but the critique could be done with alittle grace and respect.

As always Bulls is a class act! :buttrock:

As a sculptor myself, I don't mind critiques to better my work: any artist interested in progressing their work wouldn't mind! At the same time, there are also ways of saying things to people.

A critique can be harsh but also respectful: You don't have to be RUDE!

I believe you should speak to people on forums just like you would if they were in front of you... not hide behind a computer. :peoples:

BTW- the sculpt looks quite nice and is obviously a smaller scaled piece then normal. I think the photos maybe blowing up the images a bit so it will look different if viewed in real life. Its not easy taking photos of sculptures while accurately representing them 100% as they would be in real life. Remember that sculpture if meant to be viewed 360 degrees with your eyes not by a single 2D lens!

Looks like it will be a long time before we see this. CS Moore website changed shipping date from November 2007 to February 2008

You're right Hellspawn..Bulls is good people...just don't let him hear you crack on Sony:p It can get ugly LOL

I'm not sure what to think of this piece. The details are great and the paints look good too. The price point is sweet and the subject matter couldn't be better. Love me some Walking Dead. I do feel like it's lacking a bit though. The poses seem a tad stiff and Rick looks surprisingly calm given the situation. It's nothing like the lineart, but if this is part of a series, that's no biggie I guess. Especially if it's somehow a scene of pieces that go together. Can't decide on this one. The price point makes it alot easier though.

Looks like ALL Moore stuff got bumped well into 08

[F0RSAK3N]

Got mine preordered. Looks great Mr. Moore!

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that we've posted updated photos of the Walking Dead Statue on our site (below too.) After the original photos were shot, Clay adjusted Rick's right arm (the one holding the axe) to be over-head instead of at his side to make it more dynamic. We took these new shots when the counter samples came in last month (would have been earlier, but we didn't have a new paint master made for this change.) I hope you like the adjustment!

That looks even better.

[spenca7]

Any word on when it will be released?

[CS_Moore_Svc]

It's scheduled to land in the US the 3rd or 4th week of February (depending on customs) and we'll be getting them out right after they arrive. --Shelley, The CS Moore Studio

Soooooooo....what's the deal? Did anyone get this or not? I haven't seen anything of this piece yet. Pics anyone?

Picked up Andrew today. Looks nice. I like him more than Vince, but not quite as much as Nate.

[rilynil]

I saw Andrew Zombie at my LCS today, too. I ordered one online, so I need to check on that.
