Look up on the shelf....it’s a toy...it’s a collectible...it’s an expensive ass statue!!! Based off the amazing art of Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, this badass new piece from Sideshow Collectibles is sure to be a hit! We just got ours in and I’d like to share the unboxing process with ya. So if you are bored, lying awake staring at the ceiling, or taking a massive dump and scrolling the feeds for some useless info to consume...I’m your guy as this is the perfect way to waste about 3 minutes of your time!!!

As always, we will start with the box. This time Sideshow decided to showcase the statue on the box art. It’s always a total crapshoot with them as sometimes the boxes are boring vanilla and others colorful, inviting, and showcasing the actual product.

Let’s pop this fucker open...shall we?!? The cape cones in its own separate compartment. This is real world material...cloth. As is the case with pretty much all the Premium Format line. They will take the main resin cast and include real material to give it a more realistic feel...leather, denim, cloth. Things like that.

In the main compartment is the rest of the statue.

Six parts make up this piece.

  • Cape
  • Base
  • Head
  • Right Hand
  • Left Hand with Bird
  • Bird

Okay let’s pop this shit out. Got the best number possible with 69/1500. The base is fine. Nothing amazing but not terribly boring. It’s basically plumes of clouds. I always feel that the base of these large scale pieces can make or break a piece sometimes. I’ll see a killer piece with a weak ass base and feel it brings it down. On the other hand a mega ultra creative base can boost up a somewhat plain statue. This one does neither but I do feel it compliments the piece fairly well.

Ok. Now for the build...

That’s it! This was a simple one to piece together. All in all it’s a nice piece based off of some pretty artwork by a modern master in Artgerm. The piece is about 20 inches tall and weighs about 12 pounds. It’s limited to 1500 pieces worldwide and retails for $510 bucks. A solid edition to any Supes collection!!!

Looks soo good! It has very good details.

Yeah it’s a really pretty piece. It looks as if it just jumped from the actual print.

Wow, that is really nice! And it is big enough that it would be tough for some thief to stuff it under his shirt and walk out the door. Do you have to worry about things like that much? I’m glad you showed it with your hand in one of the pictures. That (well, and actual measurements) provide perspective.

Yeah this one will not be stolen. lol

We have Cabrera’s up in the shop which I feel deters most people but it still is an issue. There is always some scuzzbucket looking to get an edge and yank something. We do still catch dummies from time to time sadly.

What are Cabrera’s? I looked it up but could only find a baseball player from Venezuela.

Have you seen Supergirl's TV show? People tell me it's more of a female orientated TV show, I still watch it anyways.

I haven’t. Sadly I don’t really watch any of the superhero shows. The films? Yeah but I find most of the supes tv shows to be fairly cheesy. I’m a tv snob is what I’m trying to say. Lol
