Tag: Deadpool

As a Marvel Legends collector, I’m one of the people who wish that DST would stick to larger figures in Marvel Select who would complement my collection.  But I do recognize that Marvel Select collectors need love too – and I like this Deadpool more now that I’ve seen it with paint.  Ball-jointed hips and double-knees help too, and I wonder if those are elbros (ball-jointed elbows a la Hasbro) too.

Deadpool gets a new coat – of paint

Yeah, it’s getting late and the jokes are getting cornier – what can I say? To make up for it, I’ll let you see the approved paint deco for the Marvel Select Deadpool figure. I don’t have any pictures handy for the weapons or the unmasked head, but take my word for it when I say they complete the figure perfectly.

I suppose I’m not surprised that Marvel Select is coming out with a Deadpool figure.  After all, Deadpool is starting to enter Wolverine territory, with three monthly comics, guest appearances all over the Marvel Comics universe, and his own movie in development with Ryan Reynolds reprising his role from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I’ll have to do some more image searching but the figure looks very heavily influenced by Rob Liefeld’s early Deadpool art, especially the design of the mask and torso, but the wrist and ankle bands don’t coincide with Deadpool’s first appearance.  I am also curious as far as timing, since Hasbro has Deadpool slated for an appearance in a Fall 2010 Marvel Legends 2-pack.

Presenting….Deadpool

Sorry kids, nothing clever to say to introduce this guy (I’ll save the witty remarks for the paint stage). Here is the newest in the Marvel Select line – Deadpool. He’ll be coming with a ton of accessories (weapons, lots of weapons) and be on the lookout for a chase variant unmasked version (which I have but I’m not showing ‘cuz I’m mean like that).
