I'm at somewhat of a loss at all the "why Elektra?" questions. Has any other Marvel female had her own self-titled feature film? How about a classic graphic novel by Frank Miller (Elektra: Assassin)?
While she may not be popular now or even present in current continuity, there's a lot of interest in the character and she's one of the more tragic and fascinating characters in all of Marvel.
Well said Dave.
Nah, I don't think so.
I'm just speechless with Sideshow. I'm sure there are some fans who are just thrilled with this yet somehow I don't see the majority of fans beating down Sideshow's doors demanding "another" Elecktra. At the pace Sideshow is going I'll see Thanos after the 19th version of Iron Man and the 15th version of Elektra.
Finally, a comiquette that I might just get. It's about time. This announcement has brought me back.
i'm glad something has sparked your interest again. i will definately place my order in tomorrow.
my guess on the exclusive is switch out hands holding long daggers or a katana
If having a feature film is the criteria for getting a sculpt done then Jean Grey, The Invisible Woman & Storm has appeared in at least 2 or more blockbuster films that grossed 4 times what any Elektra movie has ever done but we have yet to see any of them. Seems like fans would go for a Storm, Sue and Jean sculpt before an Elektra but time will tell.
Well I personally thought the PF was rather unattractive in the face department. This one looks super sexy. Big improvement from what I can see, so far.
yeah i don't think ssc is does with IM yet. even after the 1:2 thingy that's suppose to be coming. with more movies on the horizon, i'm sure we'll have more IM treats down the road.
not complaining, but maybe they should spread it out a bit is all.
Well, "self-titled" is the key there - neither Phoenix or Invisible Woman were in the title. But that's just semantics. Arguably both are more popular than Elektra and as soon as there is a Phoenix PF, I'll be there. Sue is a popular character, but most of her costumes have been pretty boring.
I agree that Sue Storm costumes are very boring but she is not known as a woman to dress provocative in other words I just can't see her dressed half naked fighting crime.
I remember Sue Storm dressing in this uniform for a short period. This wasn't the Sue Storm I grew up reading.
When Sue Stom is Malice she can dress pretty hot but most fans don't know her in this persona.
I wonder if this is an addmission that the women have to be half naked in order for the sculpt to sale?
Yawn already have an Elektra. Stop doubling up on characters we have already. Give us someone new.
