Ultimate Colossus Special edition question?

Jameshowlett · 11-21-2006, 05:09 PM

Hey guys, Can someone help me with info on this bust? It's the Ultimate Colossus bust special edition. On the box it says (so I'm told) Chrome variant. I was told it is not chrome .Whaat I' trying to figure out is , is there any difference between the paint they used on the reg and the paint they used on the special edition? I know the belt strap is gold on the spec. edition and yellow on the rg but thats it.
any help would be great cause I'm trying to figure out if I should buy one.

I have the special edition and yes, the color of the belt is gold. As far as I know, that's the only difference from the regular bust.

The bust is pretty massive and it is heavy... I posted a picture a while back here:

Yeah, all these pieces are bigger than bowen scale considerably, which is why I love them :-) They arent the most detailed pieces (or they are, but the black costumes hide some of it) but if you are into the Ultimate version these are awesome. Colossus is probably the least detailed because of the style they went with, but just amazing as he is, really impressive in its simplicity.

Ive got the entire Ultimate X-Men line now and put them all out each time I got a new one, when I had the full set together, all SEs, they just look amazing. Probably the only busts I will keep or get from now on, as Im sticking to 1/4 scales from Sideshow now (which reminds me I need to put Astonishing Cyclops on the bay soon, just too damn small!)

Awesome link! Thanks, I really like the Ultimate Nightcrawler SE, I might have to pick that up. Colossus IS heavy then? I was hoping he had the kinda weight that Ult. Doc Ock has.Is there any difference in the(other than the gold belt etc.) paint they used on the reg. one and this one?

I got one too and I was just as confused. The picture on the box that shoes the "chrome" edition looks like shiney chrome. But when I got it, There was no chrome to be seen. I didn't even notice the gold strap that much until somebody pointed it out to me. Of all the Ultimate Bust line, I would have to say that the Colossus Bust isn't that spectacular. At least with the reast of them, there's some dractic differences, like different costume or battle damage. But Colossus it just a different colored strap that I didn't even notice. Maybe The company ran on of "chrome" paint and decided to just color the strap at the last minute.
