Diamond Select Toys has been teasing Marvel collectors for many months now regarding an all-new, never-before-done comics-based Marvel female figure, and I’ve heard tons of guesses ranging from Rogue to Carol Danvers Captain Marvel to Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel to Psylocke and more. But the truth was uncovered today on PreviewsWorld, and the actuality is a figure I don’t remember seeing anyone guess: the Marvel Select Lady Deadpool figure has now been revealed!
That’s right–sorry, Hasbro, but Diamond Select has beaten you to the punch this time out! Standing at 6.5″ tall, the Marvel Select Lady Deadpool figure may slightly out of scale with 6″ Marvel Legends, but with the right pose and angle, I think collectors can fudge it. And hey, better a slightly-big Wanda Wilson to stick with your Marvel Legends figures than no Wanda Wilson at all, right…?
Here’s the official solicitation write-up:
Marvel Select Lady Deadpool Action Figure (SRP: $24.99)
A Diamond Select Toys release! The Marvel Select line just got a lot more lethal! The Deadpool from parallel Earth-3010, Wanda Wilson is a part of the rebellion against a fascistic US government, but she’s just as deadly as her 616 counterpart!
This approximately 6.5” action figure features 16 points of articulation, as well as a diorama base and accessories including swords, a bazooka and Headpool!
So while we don’t see them in the photos, the solicitation details confirm that Wanda will come with both a second katana sword and also a bazooka.
Now, Disney put their foot down a few years ago, prohibiting Marvel Zombies heroes being released on merchandise, but Headpool is, of course, a special case. He looks to have a hinged jaw and amazingly good sculpting and paint details. If Sideshow hadn’t released that phenomenal sixth scale Headpool, this would easily be the best version of him ever released!
Even so, this iteration is far more obtainable and ought to be sized appropriately to be compatible with Hasbro Marvel Legends figures. Score!
The Lady Deadpool Marvel Select figure should be up for order later this month when the new Previews Magazine hits stores, and will be released sometime in mid-2017. The Kotobukiya Lady Deadpool Bishoujo statue sold out way faster than I ever would have imagined, so I’m definitely intrigued to see how the Diamond Select Wanda Wilson figure ends up faring in the action figure marketplace.
What do you think of the Diamond Select Toys Lady Deadpool Marvel Select figure, Marvel collectors? Will you be buying the Deadpool of Earth-3010? Is this is the comics-based female character that you were hoping for, or did your top pick get passed over for Wanda Wilson?
Why Disney prohibited the Marvel Zombies merchandise?
From my understanding, and I could be wrong, they are still allowing zombie figures for villians. I guess they don’t want to put the heroes in a bad light? I don’t know. The whole zombie thing is really stupid in my opinion anyway, and the comic wasn’t even that good.
That’s correct–Marvel Zombies villains are okay, but not heroes. Deadpool falls into a weird sort of grey in-between area, I suppose
I usually don’t go for Marvel Select (too big, not enough posability, using designs I don’t like) but
HOT
DAMN.
I think I’m in love. This looks like it’s gonna be one stellar action figure.
And- Holy crap, are those DOUBLE-JOINTED ELBOWS? I think this is the first time a Diamond Select figure is more poseable than an equivalent Marvel Legends figure. Like, wow, way to knock it out of the park, guys.
So about that grip she’s able to keep on the sword… yeesh!
We all are waiting so so so long for a big big list for DST Marvel Select to do and going on their forum asking Chuck and we get this? Ah man is all I can say…At least we got a Destroyer Odin coming…and a big one at that.
I couldn’t have said it better Kalon, I’m always on asking Chuck questions in the forum about releasing either some of the more classic characters like Namor or just some fan favorites in general. I mean if the were going to go the female route, then they could have at least went with Silk, spider Gwen, female Thor, or even Scarlet Witch whose actually been in two movies now!!!! SMH………………..
Its up for pre order already!
a total skip for me
