Sideshow Collectibles: Abomination

Sideshow Collectibles' Abomination - worth a second look...check out the photos here.

Manufacturer: Sideshow Collectibles
Designed by: The Sideshow Collectibles Design and Development Team
Statue Type: High-Quality Polystone
Dimensions: 25" H x 26" W x 22"L
Edition Size: Unknown
Release Date: June 2009
Retail Price: $499.99

Zimm's Two Cents:
  • I feel that this provides a true rendition of what the Abomination would look like in real life.
  • I like the fire hydrant available in the Exclusive Edition version.
  • I also like how his fingers are digging into the pavement of the base.
  • Doesn't look so much like the comic book character as it does a monster from some 70's horror movie.
  • Something about the blue cloth used for his underwear bothers me. Look at one of the back pics.
  • Way to pricey for my pocket book - I would buy the Bowen Version (supposedly releasing this month) here. Or even consider the Bowen Designs' Faux Bronze version for $450.00.
Recommendation: Pass - purchase the Bowen Designs instead.

Robert's Two Cents:
  • $500 dollars? Is it made of real bronze?
  • Looks like a real world version of the Abomination.
  • They did a really good job with the face.
  • The mouth shouldn't be open like that. That part doesn't look like the Abomination.
  • Very nice detailing.
  • His shorts are too comic book blue, while his skin tones are more natural/muted.
Recommendation: Pass. Send me and Zimm $100 each and I'll get my kids to draw you a picture of the Abomination. You'll get just as much value.
