Review: Diamond Select Marvel Premier Collection Statue – Colossus

When it comes to capturing the essence of a powerhouse like Colossus, this Diamond Select Marvel Premier Collection statue doesn’t hold back. Standing tall at an impressive 16 inches, this piece is an instant attention-grabber. From the moment you unbox it, you’re met with a stunning display of craftsmanship and detail.

Colossus is depicted in a moment of pure strength, hoisting the upper half of a Sentinel as if it’s little more than a paperweight. The visual storytelling here is exceptional. The destroyed Sentinel base adds drama to the scene, enhancing the narrative of this X-Men icon in action.

The paintwork is vibrant and clean, doing justice to Colossus’ iconic look. While the metallic tones are excellent, some might prefer a more chrome-like finish for an even bolder effect. That’s purely subjective, though, and doesn’t detract from the overall quality.

The base and Sentinel components are meticulously detailed, showcasing wear, tear, and battle damage that feel authentic. However, one potential concern lies in how the Sentinel’s torso rests on Colossus’ hand. While it’s secure enough for display, the positioning might make some collectors a bit wary. Still, once everything is set up, it’s a scene that commands attention.

Limited to just 3,000 pieces, this statue comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity and ships in a full-color box that’s as much a collector’s item as the statue itself. Designed by Shawn Knapp and sculpted by Alejandro Ezcurra, this piece is a true testament to the artistry behind the Marvel Premier Collection.

In short, this Colossus statue is a must-have for fans of the X-Men and Marvel collectibles alike. It’s bold, it’s dynamic, and it’s undeniably impressive as a centerpiece for any collection.

Verdict: Highly recommended for anyone who wants a powerful display piece with top-tier craftsmanship. Just make sure you’ve got the perfect spot ready to showcase this marvel.
