Hi guys,
yesterday I was able to buy the Colossus Comiquette (#378 / 1000) and I am delighted with it.
I have read a lot of comments of fellow fans indicating that the lines in his face are ugly and distracting but I must admit that I am not bothered by that and think that this piece has its very own presence and unique appeal.
The statue is very heavy, has a great paintjob and finish and shows the superstrong mutant in his modern outfit. As such I think it is a welcome and fresh addition to the classic representations which have already been released of Colossus.
Piotr looks like he is ready to floor whomever or whatever dared to oppose him and he really means business!
Run or be flattened by the Russian sledge hammer!
It is a welcome addition to my collection and I am happy and proud to have been able to add this steel behemoth to my collection.
I have taken some pics below which I hope you will enjoy. Most of them are quite dark unfortunately since I took them in the morning but I hope you will enjoy them nevertheless.
A special THANKS goes out to Richard who enabled me to purchase this statue.
Richard, you are a great guy and it was nice talking to you again. Thanks for everything pal!
Alright then here come the pics!
Guys, I present to you Mr. Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin also known as... Colossus!
