Not sure if I posted this before, but it's pretty enough to post again. I believe it is a custom statue, though I don't know if it is a commission. Obviously inspired by the David Finch cover for Invaders.

Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
That is one gorgeous Namor statue. I think that A3 symbol is a company.
There was a Doctor Doom set of poseable figures designed by Ashley Wood by a company called ThreeA toys. You can see it in the product archive section on the Sideshow Collectibles site, which is for their sold out offerings. I checked around but I couldn't find a Namor statue done buy them. I think they do mostly high end poseable figures.
AHHHHHH!!! I am dying, I want one so much! This is wonderful and thanks for sharing Rev!
I'm trying not to hope too hard it's the sailor story so I don't get disappointed (but also I really hope it is! lol)
Marvel just needs someone in the Powers That Be to have some faith in the character and give him a solo for a few years, it is very upsetting to be a Namor fan year in and year out and wait for Marvel to toss some crumbs and I also wonder why they never treat a character of his caliber with the same respect as Captain America *sigh* at least we can have our mini this year! I wasn't even this excited when I heard the news of the new Invaders series last year. I am glad you enjoyed that poster! I will continue to hone my photoshop editing skills with more fan edits of the one and only king of the sea!

Me too!
I think A3 is the company too, but I'm not sure if they are making this for sale, or if it is one of a kind.
I found the cover that inspired the statue.
Wow. I love that 'action figure'. I don't love the price, but, wow!
I'm not sure Namor makes as good an action figure. Naked flesh shows all the articulation. Whereas Doom's armor sort of hides the articulation.

Since that's the only Weiss pages I've seen, I'm going with Namor the Sailor Man. ;p Though, honestly, if it's any Weiss pages that are comparable to his story in Subby's old book, I think it was Subby 56, I will be very happy.
I'll never understand it either. There's a complete lack of investment in their seminal character. It's baffling. And sadly, as time has gone by, there are fewer creators who remember and realize how great the character truly is. It's already happened among the artists, who generally are younger than the writers. We don't need just another attempt at an ongoing. We need a defining run, like Brubaker's Cap or Ewing's Hulk. It is LONG over due. Too bad Marvel doesn't realize it, and we are left hoping that Feige will move on a movie to light a fire under editorial.
That said, I too am excited about Busiek's mini-series. He hasn't done much writing for Marvel, or DC, lately, so this is especially exciting. And, well, Lady Dorma!
I LOVE the 80th Annivesary poster you made. It's wonderful work!

Fred Hembeck on the pandemic. I feel a new avatar coming on.
