Beast Comiquette (Sideshow Collectibles)


Introducing the Beast Comiquette Exclusive by Sideshow Collectibles. Limited to 200 statues with the regular edition limited to 500 statues. The Exclusive includes and extra right hand holding a book and a fine art print. A great modern look for this character Sideshow has captured Henry "Hank" McCoy perfectly. I like a piece that has some depth and this particular sculpt captures not only the brilliance of Hank but also the power and size of the Beast. This statue is actually much heavier than it looks as the beast is a solid sculpt as well as the base.





The display options are limited on this piece to either the hand holding the glasses or the hand holding the book.  Both looks compliment the figure, but personally I prefer the glasses because of all the books on the base . The fine art print for this piece is very well done, unless your framing all these prints and putting them all over your house they pretty much stay in the box.

The Beast was incredibly sculpted, the time taken into the fur is trademark Sideshow when it comes to detail. The paint application as well on this piece is well executed. I'm very happy with the overall size of the statue and it compliments other X-Men in the collection regardless of scale.





I like the fact that Sideshow did not make more of these statues than they did, a low edition size makes this piece welcoming to those that follow the X-Men. Not being one of the most marketable X-Men made it easy for Sideshow to keep the Edition sizes low. Overall an awesome piece that brings great balance to the other gun-ho figures in the collection. Happy Collecting !!
