Wolverine is back at doing what he does best with Sideshow Collectible as a Fastball Special is coming in hot from Colossus

The Fastball Special is a signature move in the X-Men's arsenal that is widely recognized and revered among fans of Marvel Comics. This maneuver involves Colossus, the towering metal-skinned mutant, hurling his teammate Wolverine, the adamantium-clawed berserker, toward their enemies with skill, force, and precision. First appearing in X-Men #100, the Fastball Special has become an iconic and frequently employed tactic for the X-Men and Wolverine when facing overwhelming odds or formidable opponents like Sentinels. Sideshow Collectibles is now bringing this legendary move to life as they unveil their latest X-Men statue.

Coming in at 18" tall, Colossus and Wolverine are leaping right off the pages of the Marvel Comics X-Men series in great detail.

Both mutants feature iconic costumes, and two different backdrops can be showcased with them coming out of a comic book or just by themselves. This is one incredible Marvel Comics statue that captures an iconic X-Men moment and will be a gorgeous centerpiece to any collection. Sideshow Collections has the Fastball Special statue priced at $755 with a September 2024 release. Pre-orders are already live right on Sideshow now with payment plans also being offered.

X-Men Fastball Special: Colossus and Wolverine Statue"

"The Fastball Special: Colossus and Wolverine Statue measures 18" tall, 14.93" wide, and 19.12" deep as a colorful team-up bursts off the comic page and onto your shelf amid a fiery explosion. The excitement begins on the left, with backdrop panels depicting Wolverine and Colossus in their fight against a Sentinel. In the center, our two heroes emerge from the comic book page itself in three-dimensional glory, with the silver Colossus braced to launch a snarling Wolverine. The famous "fastball special" concludes on the right in vibrant panel art as well as on the base with a severed, flaming Sentinel faceplate."

"This action-packed, fully sculpted X-Men collectible features custom original art in the style of classic X-Men comics. The astonishing artwork itself is printed on every angle of the backdrop's exterior, including a front and back cover spread with dialogue bubbles, yellowing on the page edges, and a halftone texture, which recreates that beloved retro look. Additionally, collectors can rearrange the statue with alternate swap-out pieces that allow Colossus and Wolverine to stand separately from the book backdrop as complete figures."
