I honestly didn’t know this was an X-men /marvel character until my friend told me lol. But I’m a musician and I like old school vibes and blondes lol soooo this intrigues me! Thanks for the review and sharing. It was very helpful 🙏
Oh yeah, her debut was in Uncanny X-Men 130?I think. Very iconic cover. And she's been siding with the mutants on and off. This look is my favorite of her various costumes. Glad the unboxing helped and good luck with the music
Thank you for sharing your Dazzler! Mine arrived a few days ago - #296. I have not unboxed her yet as I am still building the display case. She will have an acrylic box for dust protection, and as you mentioned, given the overall height of @ 32 inches it won't be easy or cheap but she is worth it. I'll have her on a motorized, remote-controlled base, there will be various LED spotlights, and I'm working on a speaker/player system to have about a dozen classic disco songs to play as she slowly rotates. To accompany all this are acrylic display stands for the new Dazzler Compendium and a pristine copy of her first issue comic. If it results in looking as good in real life as it does in my imagination, I will be happy to also basically end my statue collecting hobby. Your collection looks great! Enjoy your Alison!
Wow that sounds like it's going to be really impressive and this is worth it. Hopefully you'll share the set up once done. I find that it's nice to have these youtube videos for reference and to just see the statues whether you have them in box or just to refresh your memory and love of them.
The movement the pose creates is amazing. They really nailed the color too. Wonderful piece to any collection. Congratulations. I'd love to see the rest of your collection please.
I honestly don't think there could be a better representation of Dazzler. Very happy they went with the true classic first appearance costume. Maybe one day I'll delve into the collection. Thank you for checking out the video
Beautiful statue, I'm very tempted to pick this one up but I just cant fit it into my collection overall. Always loved Dazzler and the colors on this piece just pop! Congratulations on getting a favorite piece :)
Thank you, she is quite stunning. Still in disbelief that Sideshow ( @CollectSideshow ) made her. There are few characters that I would have made the exception for and disregard the height, so in my collection, she is unique that way. I see that she is now low stock on their website. Thanks for checking her out
If only I could afford that. Technically I could, but I have some other pieces coming soon that aren't paid for yet. Need what I have for those. Hopefully she is still available by the time I have $ again. I'm not even necessarily a Dazzler fan, ( I like her and all ) I just like the fun 70's vibe, the sculpt and portrait is great, and I like all of the art on the old Dazzler covers.
It does capture the 70's Farrah fawcett hair and the shiny bell bottom jump suit. Love it. I actually flexed her for 8 months. It's a lot to shell out at once. She's worth it because there probably won't be another Dazzler statue again.
😁😁Yep there is really no middle ground with this character. I really wish that she had a good writer to explore more of the stories when she and Guido were performing and he was her bodyguard. Think those could've been entertaining in a She-Hulk kinda way. Yes the statue is gorgous.
@@grphyx1 i stopped collecting in the 90s (cross-over-mania killed my interest entirely) but i always felt like whe was just not needed in a world that had cyclops, havok, and eventually jubilee (daz light). even the stuff with longshot just made me like him less.
@@megaflux7144 I totally understand. She is definitely a character that you're either a fan or you don't get her relevance at all. I myself am in the "I absolutely love her" category. I only stopped fully collecting about 4 years ago, having started in the 70's. I also do the artist alley at the local convention whenever I have enough new art to showcase. One great thing about longshot is that he introduced us to Mojo and the badass Spiral.
@@megaflux7144 I look on those years and think, you gotta appreciate the good that came out of the oversaturation...Domino, Deadpool, Cable, Feral to name a few. Thanks for the chat yo. Always nice to get a comic collector's view on things
@@xellosmetallium8519 it is a challenge. However, the chance of any other company doing a 1:4 scale version of her is pretty low. Thanks for checking it out
@@xellosmetallium8519 I hope the unboxing helped. It's one of those that the artist decided to just go for it and let the collector decide. The paint app on her outfit it amazingly iridescent and although not seen on this video there is a lot of starry sparkly things in the cosmic trail and a glitter effect in some areas of her hair. For me, although I have to rearrange a bit, she is worthy of the collection. She makes me happy to look at her.
@@grphyx1 That's the part that does suck in my case, I know that Dazzler is a great sculpt / paint application. However, she doesn't fit my display, so as I said it's a pass. I'll just have to wait for the next one.) Anyhow, happy collecting.
@@xellosmetallium8519 that is understandable. She is my last statue that I will be getting, so for me it's a decent way to complete my journey. Thanks Xellos
I never understand why people pay such a high price for Sideshow statues. I see much better ones done by 3d printer/painters that blow sideshow away. That one I think looks terrible, looks like a generic paint job that a machine did.
@figuresix everybody had their preference. If you like the 3rd party companies and you join in on social media markets, then enjoy them. This was a character that I wanted, and a long time SS customer and I'm very happy with their products, so I have statues from them but I also have from Attakus, PCS, HCG, Gentle Giant, Bowen, DC Collectibles, Tweeterhead, PokemonCenter aka kotibukiya, so I'm an equal opportunity collector

I agree, She has been worth the wait. I'm in awe and si happy she's been done properly

If only Dazzler hadn't been so tall. I was consider her, but it's just too much space.

@@grphyx1 Yw, I needed to take one last look to determine if I was right on passing.
