A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya has created several
fantastic ARTFX Statues based on DC Comics characters, but there
haven’t been any from the current “New 52” relaunch... until now.
Slade Wilson was a member of the United States Army chosen for
advanced training due to his peak physical condition and strength
of will. He was also experimented on by the very same government he
fought for, and with the enhancements they gave him became a
mercenary and assassin. As one of the most dangerous men in the
world he goes by the name of Deathstroke! Appearing in his own
comic as part of DC’s New 52, the character was re-introduced to
the world with an updated costume but the same hardcore attitude
and superhuman weapons mastery.
A powerful addition to the DC ARTFX lineup, Deathstroke is captured
in a fierce martial arts stance. The Terminator wears his unique
New 52 style armor with a sleek bodysuit, built in boots, a sturdy
utility belt, textured mail-like armored torso, and heavy shoulder
harness. His pose is a partial lunge while he holds his sword in a
two-handed guard position, as ever aimed at his enemies so he can
cut them to pieces! All of the elements of Deathstroke’s armor are
expertly sculpted from his spiked boots to his fearsome skull-like
helmet and everything in between, while the detailed paint
applications show off his traditional blue and orange color scheme.
As an added bonus, Slade’s removable faceplate is attached via
magnet so you can display him in his fully armored look or unmasked
to reveal his scowling countenance and eye-patch!
Sculpted by Junosuke Abe, Deathstroke stands nearly 12 inches tall
(in the ARTFX 1/6th scale) on a special display base. Slade Wilson
is the perfect villain/antihero to add to your collection, and he
looks great displayed alongside previous DC ARTFX Statues like
Batman Black Costume or future New 52 releases!
