Ahh, so that's the etymology of Deathstroker, thanks for enlightening

There is no homage to Perez with this abomination

Again, if yourself and many more are absolutely sure that this is a wanted/sought after sculpt? Then go for it, in a more honourable way. Start a Perez thread, full steam ahead, & maybe the grand experiment will start a new guiding/ordering trend?

But when you flood a perfectly great Canale sculpt thread with personal dreads, constantly? That's insulting, a form of trolling, hijacking, and at best a distant guess, because to my knowledge no other company has made a Perez? I don't have to wonder why, do you?

I think you're being a tad too sensitive. No one is hijacking any thread. Others are merely sharing they're opinions. In every thread in this forum, many posters have different opposing opinions. Look at the PCS 1/3 Vampirella thread for example ... has a lot of opposing opinions.

If we do as you say, then no one would be allowed opposing views in any thread. We'll just have threads that have the same opinions. That would suck.

Yup, that's the infamous one.

Oh c'mon Divo, some of the best (and most entertaining) commentary on this site has come from tangents and temporarily "hijacking" a thread

I'm too sensitive? You're the guys who keep digging up a long dead & buried death stroke, & then accuse Sideshow of practically being criminals? WTF? Get over it, it's done.

And as for hijacking threads, are you kidding me? Here it's an obsession, without question. I can count the ways, but I won't, cause at this point it's an obvious joke, & I don't get the punchline.

Look, I dig discussion & different opinions, but not when they are destructive bordering on insult, & they too often are. Blanket statements which never make sense, trotting out old sculpts to constantly try to convince/celebrate what, at he expense of a newer more sophisticated one? Come on.


For me, I simply can't believe, (actually stunned!), that Canale's version of Deathstroke did not get more than 350 units worth of support. I don't really even know the character, but this work screams comic-vibed masterstroke.

If you look-up the Artstation renders, the work checks all the boxes, as lines/form, anatomy, detailing, balance, and vibe are all exquisitely realized.

Even if not interested(?), fair enough, but this level of work/sculpt deserved respect, if nothing else.


P.S. Seriously, consider starting a Perez thread, as we never know where it could lead/end? Maybe a viable collaborating trend, all because of Perez. Vindication right there.

Yes, you're too sensitive. Now you're exaggerating with your statement in bold.

Again, no one is hijacking anything. If true, then you are part of the problem. You're doing it right now since this is a Darkseid thread. And you brought up Deathsroke.

You're exaggerating. Again!

Dude, you don't even know the character. Nuff said!

Sharing one's opinion is not being disrespectful.

Sorry bud. You'll just have to learn to live with differing opinions in these threads.

The Deathstroker PF is not a good work in many ways and I guess Martin Canale knows it.
