Pick Your Poison: The Merc w/A Mouth


Kotobukiya is expanding its Marvel Now! ArtFX+ line to include mainstream Marvel Comics characters. One of the most popular comic book superheroes in the business, Wade Wilson aka Deadpool is now an incredible ArtFX+ statue. Formerly a member of the Weapon X program, the “Merc with a Mouth” is a longtime assassin for hire and independent agent whose worked alongside just about every superhero and villain from the Avengers to X-Force and everything in between.

Wilson makes a stunning debut in the ArtFX+ series as he crouches in preparation for an attack, drawing one of his swords from the sheaths on his back. He naturally wears his X-Force black and gray costume complete with an abundance of straps, pouches, extra ammunition, spare weapons, pointy hood with mask and of course his cute Deadpool logo belt buckle. In his low crouch, the assassin leans forward with his other hand extended in front in front of him, and you can choose between interchangeable left hands that either give thumbs up or wield a second sword. Junnosuke Abe sculpted it. Deadpool stands by 6-inches tall (1:10th scale) in his deep crouch with perfect stability on his included magnetic display base. Pre-Order (May): Red - or - Gray (X-Force)!
