Blue Deadpool

I admit that I have not seen the Deadpool movie yet. He's a character you either like or hate. In my case, I am not entirely familiar with his antics and his profile. I have last seen Deadpool in the X-men Origin: Wolverine film, where I think his character was also born (in the silver screen).

Wade Wilson, in that movie, is a scarred mercenary who took part in the Weapon X program. Based on the comics, he has a fallout with his girlfriend after discovering he is terminally ill with multiple cancer growth. He joined the Weapon X program, where his healing factor accelerated, thanks to a graft of Logan's tissue incorporated in his body.

Deadpool was made a probationary member of X-men under the watch of Domino. Mark Kincaid, who claimed X-men kidnapped his daughter, was planned to be killed by Deadpool to earn the graces of X-men. When his plan failed, Norman Osborne killed Kincaid and blamed X-men thru Deadpool, but Wade had it all set up to make X-men the heroes in the public eyes, earning him the full membership in X-men.

Chimichanga time!

Deadpool minifigure in classic X-men costume consists of 23 pieces - 1 head, 1 torso, 1 leg connector, 2 legs, 2 arms, 3 hands, 2 katanas, 1 sword sheath piece, and 10 mini ship pieces.

Butchered!

While the printing in the head resembles Spider-man design, the supposed squinting Deadpool eyes are barely visible as they are in white printed over yellow. A little black outline on those beady eyes would have made emphasis. The alternate printing in the same head is grossly inappropriate. It looks like a scarred blue demon with happy yellow eyes. The only use I can think of this alternate head printing is to match it with Mystique minifigure; it would make her look a bit anime though.

A lot of care and effort is made in the details of the torso prints - this is the expertise of SY craftsmanship. I like the thinner outlines, which made the details clearer, as opposed to the thicker outlines of other brands which make the details cramped in one place.

The pearl gold sheaths blend with the yellow and blue ensemble. I wish that the katanas are in silver-grey color though and that hand guns are included.

PG and K*** brands have released a similar version of X-men Deadpool based on another artist's design available online. It boasts of a darker blue minifigure base, silver-gray katanas, hand guns, and a more badass face print. I like the SY blue though as I think it resembles closer to the classic X-men color.

PG and K*** brands have this version

In lieu of extra weapons like guns, ten extra pieces are included, which can be assembled to a mini ship. While not appropriate to the character, the blue ship is more useful for other customization needs.

Space Deadpool?

Deadpool is a character that you either like or hate. Similarly, brick hobbyists and enthusiasts may differ on which Deadpool minifigure in X-men suit is appropriate or up to his liking. I prefer this SY version but I am swapping his head for that of PG or K***.

While crafting for a fun photo, I came up with Deadpool skiing using his katanas (lol) and him battling Master Yoda in a swordfight.

Bite my snow dust!

katana vs light saber

Enjoy! Til then. :)
