The Silver Surfer Maquette

I think that stoic image works more with the space background. It adds to the loneliness that he feels. Him gracefully "surfing" is what I hope they go with. No angry yelling face, no upright with no motion, just him on his board doing what he is tasked with doing.

Whatever portrait pose they choose, SS better make sure it is perfect. Adding any sort of seam to his body for a change out or attachment point would not be the best way to go. He needs to appear seamless.

Well I think we all were hoping for some kind of information on this or anything else during the bday extravaganza, but that came and went. So who knows. Prolly looking at SDCC if that even happens.

Totally agree

Really looking forward to seeing this reveal. Having said that, even if SS screws the pooch on it, I still have my Bowen Silver Surfer, which is still currently the best version out there IMO.

[Subby1938]

Yes it is...

[Infinite GLORY]

Very nice cosmic display!

[VaultMan]

Still no reveal for this? Also looking for something graceful, peaceful, and the board is essential...

Both the museum and action Surfer by Bowen are absolutely magnificent. I have both the chrome museum and action Surfer and Randy just crushed both sculpts. Both are EPIC Surfer statues IMO.

The Bowen looks great. Goofy question but I am not a big reader of Silver Surfer. What is a good graphic novel to read about him?

Check out Silver Surfer Requiem by J. Michael Straczynski.

"The Silver Surfer is standing before a gigantic nebula pondering a matter of somber importance. Alone and concerned, he turns his sights towards Earth to consult with the only people in the universe that he would consider his friends – the Fantastic Four.

He arrives outside the high windows of the Baxter Building and requests a private audience with Reed and Sue. Ben and Johnny watch their conversation from a distance and notice Sue steadily breaking down into tears. Reed makes the Surfer a promise to do everything he can to help him. The Surfer then flies off back, with the intent of visiting his home world, Zenn-La.

Later, Reed tells Ben and Johnny about his conversation with the Surfer, and why Susan was crying. The molecular bonds that make up the Surfer's metallic shell are slowly breaking down. The Silver Surfer is dying!"
