STATUES & BUSTS: part 2

KINGDOM COME SHAZAM STATUEThe second, and last, one of these wonderful statues came in the form of The World's Mightiest Mortal. This bronzed statue had similar measures as the Superman one and also the same limited edition of 5000. This giant statue was also designed and sculpted by Alex himself and it included a mini print of the design signed by him. Getting this statue could be just as difficult as finding its predecessor or maybe even more so. It's being offered on ebay for around US$250 to US$ 350.
This statue also had a smaller colorized counterpart which just ruined the whole thing, 'cause in the latter version Shazam's face isn't quite right and looks like a complete dork. What is really odd is that both colorized versions were limited to only 3000 pieces, a smaller run than the much cooler, monochromatic ones. Go figure!

I have barely begun my Alex Ross statue collection so these items are sadly absent from it.
