Diamond Select Toys has been spoiling us rotten opening up pre-orders for a multitude of new Marvel statues each month during the summer, but we’re going to have to make do with just a singular new statue in the latest round of solicitations. Luckily, this is one that I think is going to be on a lot of collector’s wish lists, even if it’s not exactly an under-merchandised character: the resin 12″ DST Marvel Premier Collection Deadpool statue is now up for order!

Ordinarily I try to get in-hand photos of the latest Marvel Select figures posted as soon as the figures ship out to comic book stores, but I was foiled twice this month–first by my comic shop getting the Lady Deadpool Select in late, and then by my hosting company botching the transfer to the new server for the site. But now that both problems have been remedied, here’s some in-hand photos to help give those thinking of ordering Marvel Select Lady Deadpool online a better idea of how the final figure turned out…
