New 52 has him wearing a bulkier, tactical armour, but still the colour contrast compared to this PF is much better and Slade is definitely more muscular, more imposing.

If you removed the head from this PF (the head is the only part they got right) you may not even know this Deathstroke. If you are happy with this PF, that’s great, I just don’t think it’s an accurate representation of the character at all.

I'll agree this is not comic accurate, it's Sideshow's version, no doubt, but he is in no one portrayed as a large "jacked" man in the recent books. The Ikon suit fits like spandex, showing off a lean shredded body compared to the shirt, kevlar suit and armor plating he is wearing in the PF.

Well brother, if you love, or even like that version, then go for it. Post some pics when you get him.

Exactly! Not settling ...not with these prices.

I already know we won't get a classic Perez Deathstroke from sideshow and it's infuriating.

You never know, i think they know how this DS was received also i think there is a deathstroke movie coming out.

Then we'll get a movie Deathstroke PF. I have no interest in that. Igo made it clear what he thinks about the classics and he's already stated modernized PFs will be what's coming in the future. I have no faith we'll be seeing a classic Perez Deathstroke from sideshow.

Here is a unboxing by The Odd Couple Statue Reviews.

Wait till the end for the 360 close up of him. I gotta say the way they did his armor looks so lazy, especially by his abdominal area. This statue would definitely need some mods if I were to buy this.

Thanks for sharing!

No offense Sideshow, but this statue lacks imagination and is very weak by today's standards. But to each their own.

This was a miss in my book all the way around.

AC_808 · 02-28-2018, 12:55 AM

Yup ...totally agree.

SSC needs to re-do this miss.

I just unboxed Deathstroke, I know I defended this piece's concept on this board but still didn't expect to be so impressed once in hand. I'm telling ya, this really needs to be seen in person. It's F'N awesome. The details are killer. It has weathering on the chest and shoulder armor I wasn't expecting. Orange paint is duller, more of a natural tone than bright orange, also some nice shading on the blue of the head sculpt.

The two sword combo is just menacing, had to keep the exclusive in the box.

Solid cast figure, super heavy metal base too.

Have doubts after all the hate on this board?, I'm telling ya, give it a look at your LCS, it's killer in person, IMO.
