Sideshow has introduced a new line of statues. They are dubbing these Sideshow Classics. Each statue will be cast in bronze. First to get the new treatment are Marvel characters Wolverine, Spider-Man and Iron-Man. Check out the details below.
Sideshow Collectibles invites you to explore a new and unique collection of statues, Sideshow Classics. Celebrating the most iconic characters of today’s popular culture, each presentation focuses on gestural quality and raw sculptural aesthetic, by utilizing either traditional bronze or cold cast bronze mediums. Traditional foundry bronze delivers an unmistakable visual and sensory appeal, with its distinctive luster, substantial weight, and cool to the touch feel. We’re also employing a cold cast bronze technique, which integrates metallic powder and polystone, to create an affordable alternative to traditional bronze while preserving its inherent look and feel.
Bronze has long been regarded as a vaulted medium for figural art; its elegant simplicity allows the sculptor to convey the raw energy, movement and poise of the subject. On our mission to celebrate the richness of character in bold defining statements; our artists have tackled the titans of pop culture, capturing in sculpture the heroes and villains whose spirit and personality are so ingrained in our memory.
You can check out a preview of the statues by clicking the thumbnail.
Sideshow Reveals New Statue Line...Sideshow Classics

Sideshow Classics - Wolverine, Spider-man and Iron Man
These look horrible. They don't capture any of the energy of the characters. Spider-Man looks like he's prowling a neighborhood looking for windows to peep into. Ironman is serving a volleyball, and there just aren't words in any human language to express how stupid Wolverine looks.
These characters are minimum 40yrs old... should be pretty darn easy to figure out a good way to pose them in ways that suit the ferocity, limberness, and aerobatics of the respective heroes.
Glad I'm not the only one that finds these un-interesting. . .
Very odd poses, and the lack of color leave me flat on these.

These are really dull. I can see what they were trying to do with these, but they just don't work.
