Colossus Memorial bust

[Car50n]

Got one of these at the shop recently. this thing is massive. i don't know if it's a good thing or bad. i definately won't be taking this one home. the fact that it's limited to 700 might appeal to some, but if they lack space, it's a tough sell.

anyone else own this? what do u think?

I have this bust and i love it. Can't go wrong with Colossus. I bought mine direct from Dynamic Forces. Goes well with their Hulk Bust which is also awesome.

Kid of looks like Jose Canseco. Or maybe Jason Giambi! :)

That's just what I was thinking. Guess they figured he's been dead a long time lets make it before they...... AH CRAP. :laugh:

Yup, I ordered this one when I saw it in previews. My shop got 3 total and sold the other two within days. It's a really nice piece, and just happens to look a lot like my Alex Horley Colossus sketch (pure coincidence)

pssss...not to be repeatitive....but he's not dead.....pass it on.....

[Bullseye]

Very nice sketch galactus.

I've always liked J. Bells version.

I don't mind it much, but I think the paint job is horrible. There's blue streaking from his metal seams, and his hair paint doesn't seem to match the rest. I mean if it was repainted by one of the guys here, then that would rock.

[Car50n]

i actually thought repainting it earlier. don't know if i want to go thru the trouble. i might just let it go. it jsut doesn't look quite right.

[boondocksaint]

hate it!

[boondocksaint]

drew thats an awesome sketch!

[Teague]

Colossus is one of my favorite characters, but I don't much care for this rendition of him. The paint is way too glossy for me, and I don't like the chrome, either.

The pose is sort of cool, though. I agree that if someone repainted it, it might rock. But for those who love it, more power to y'all. :)

[Bartman256]

Memorial bust...HA!

The paint wasn't even dry on these & he was back!

[Iron Fist]

I don't care much for the pose...but it's a cool bust nonetheless.

[The General]

I've always liked this piece and I almost ordered it.

[Bullseye]

hate it!

Stay out of here you Bowen lovin ass licker :laugh:

[SirConor]

His arms are just too big. I love Colossus a great deal and would buy this if he didnt have a pinhead - it just looks dumb. Also hate the tacky nameplate, although I assume they were going for the "Gravestone" look.

Stay out of here you Bowen lovin ass licker :laugh:
Bullseye?!?!?! Having a BB moment? :)

BB as in Buzzybean??? :laugh:

It's OK. When it's done on purpose, it's called an "homage". :laugh:

[gunwitch]

I love this piece for its rawness (a contrast to Bowen's clean jobs - of course Bowen stuffs always top of my list). Got it 1st round it came out. Was hoping DF release the Thunderbird companion piece too but heard it was cancelled.

Martin i love this sculpt and have it. But that paintmaster is awesome. I might just get mine repainted.

[gunwitch]

this one now looks double good with the release of DST's colossus bust exclusive for the wizard world con.

Youre such a tool!

I had my doubts when I 1st saw this bust in previews but to see it in person its simply huge and really nice... But the paint job is not that great...

I agree CK. I have this bust and the paint is poor. A chrome finish and matt finish to his outfit would be great. Bit like DST exclusive by Rocco.

[Colossal]

Im waiting for one of the UK painters to have some free time so that he can give my Colossus Memorial Bust a decent paint job. In the meantime, I was wondering if someone could help?

Is it possible to find out the exact paint colours used for statues and busts? I contacted the goregroup about this piece and they said not likely, but was wondering if it was possible to easily find a colour that matched the red armour on Colossus' forearm.

As mentioned before, I got the guy for only £35 and he is in mint condition, barring a small splash of white paint on his forearm. Its not as issue because Ill hopefully get him repainted soon, but I just wanted to touch that area up so that I could display him in the meantime.

Any ideas?
