Today we take a look at the Exclusive version of the Sideshow Collectibles Deadpool Premium Format Figure which was announced last year and suffered a few production delays until its eventual arrival at my desk today. I’ll preface this review by mentioning that I have no attachment to this comic character and I only purchased this statue because my son is a huge Deadpool fan so this piece is for him but not before I get to review it!
Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool was introduced back in 1991 by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza as a parody of DC Comics’ Deathstorke even going as far as playing off that character’s real name (Slade Wilson). The Deadpool alias was derived from the fifth Dirty Harry film “The Dead Pool”. The character’s personality has changed and evolved quite dramatically since his introduction as serious and grim professional assassin. Disease, medical experiments and events in his life molded his personality into what he is best known for today with his dark humor coupled with schizophrenic tendencies and unpredictability. Deadpool has been affiliated with different characters and organizations from the Marvel universe at different points throughout his existence from joining up with Cable to a brief stint with the X-Men, the character is all over the place which keeps fans entertained by his story arc and the comic crossovers.
