The one statue I'd buy right now if I had the extra cash.


Strangely enough, it would be Deathlok. I was never a fan of any version of the character in the comics, but I always thought he looked really cool.

This statue captures the essence of Deathlok. In many ways. he is the Captain America of the future, if the future were a post apocalyptic 1984.

The grimace on his face tells the tale of his life. He's had it rough and continues to fight to this day.

However, for such an obscure character, $175 seems steep. Even if you can find it discounted by 20% or more it's pricey. The two reasons I selected the Marvel Zombie statue over the Deathlok were price (the Marvel Zombie is $100) and the base on the Marvel Zombie is very cool. Zimm's niece looks at the shoes, I like the funky bases.

Anyway, if you have the spare scratch, buy Deathlok, if not skip it.

Yeah, he could end up on our 2009 honorable mentions.
