Arrow Are you interested in a XM Studios Shocker statue?

With XM doing such a fantastic job representing Spider-man's rogues gallery, I wanted to check the enthusiasm for a Shocker statue adding to the excellent line-up XM is already working on.

I asked this question in the Q&A thread:

Bryan is unsure if Shocker has enough interest to warrant a statue:

I can understand Bryan's point. However, in the XM Electro thread, several folks indicated a strong interest in Shocker, and I think a lot of the Spidey collectors do consider Shocker to be in that main conversation of Spider-man villains. Maybe not Doc Octopus, Green Goblin or Venom level, but easily on the same level as Kraven or Scorpion or Rhino (a bust AND statue?!?).

In addition, Shocker is making an appearance in this summer's Spider-man Homecoming blockbuster!

So, I'm hoping we can convince Bryan that a 500 ES Shocker would be an easy sell. I know there are other villains that we want too like Morbius, Hobgoblin, etc...., and feel free to add those comments here as well. Maybe Bryan/XM will see all those comments as well and we'll get everything on our wishlist!

So, vote for Shocker!!! And here are some sample pics for reference...

Probably his most iconic power pose:

Personally, I love the OG look. I'd love to have a version like this (minus the headphones lol) with him standing on pavement or the middle of a road.


He'd have swap out alternate arms: a set pointing at the ground in front of him. The road would be getting blown up - think like Sideshow's Red/Green/Grey Hulk Comiquettes. Maybe swap out fists: one with just fists and one with some kind of blast waves like below.

The other set of arms can be drawn back like a punching motion maybe like PCS Mortal Kombat Ninjas but with the fist pointing at the same spot on the ground. Then you can swap fists/arms interchangeably.

Yes! I really dig this look, I think a set of energy hands would be the best bet for a switch out.

Oh yes don't know him but always thought he looked so cool. Saw him in the early Spider-Man toons. Very cool looking character!

I just said this in the Electro thread as well, let's get a poll for Hydro Man as well! Him manipulating the water would visually look awesome for a statue! Make it es of 400. It would sell. I know they would knock it out of the park

I've always loved this custom of the Bowen Hydro Man bust paired with the Bowen FS Sandman - totally sick. I can only imagine what XM could do with this character.

No offence but he's D list villain at best. They still haven't made Green Goblin, Hobgoblin , Rhino, those are major villains. He looks cool but I think you'll be waiting a while if they did

I'd have to agree on who needs to be made before Hydro Man.

Right now, my number want outside of the WIPs (Carnage, Scorpion, etc... is Shocker hence this poll, but my wishlist after that has a mix of villains and Spidey versions.

So after Shocker, I'd like to see in no particular order:

Morbius (not planned per Bryan)
Tombstone
Juggernaut
Hobgoblin
Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly)
Scarlet Spider (Kaine)
Venom (Flash Thompson)

I figure most of these have zero chance of being made, but with the small edition sizes possible (388? Namor), there might be a chance for a few of them years down the road. I'd feel pretty safe betting on Hobgoblin and Juggernaut (unless that Fox contract causes an issue).

^^The real reason why this dude is being brought up now.

XM hasn't even made a Green Goblin, a Rhino, a Scorpion, or a Hobgoblin.

They haven't even released their Black Cat, Dr. Octopus, Carnage, or even their own Spider-Man yet.

The only way you'll ever see this guy made right now is if his character blows reviewers, critics, and audience members away.
