[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

This artist reinforces what I heard many years ago about painting characters: Start the same way you get dressed, starting with the skin and then working out layer by layer: undershirts, shirts, pants, jacket, etc. And if these maestros are going it it, it must be legit!

[@ryanpooley]

700$ is insane! But so is the amount of work just painting these figures takes! It's a stunning figure!

[@moara4144]

I was wondering how a cast of a figure could be $700, but an already painted figure makes much more sense! That's a lot of skill required.

[@Exar_Kun]

Absolutely incredible sculpt and gorgeous paint job. I’m so happy that Sideshow sculpts, proportions and paints their comic book character figures LIKE THEY’RE FROM ACTUAL COMIC BOOKS and don’t shy away from making them aesthetically pleasing to look at.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much we appreciate your positive feedback! 😄

[@Exar_Kun]

@@CollectSideshow You’re so welcome and thank you for making badass stuff that always raises the bar for collectibles.

[@RobertJohnson-hp4gz]

The final reveal footage was well made, the angles, the music, the editing!

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!

[@TheHistrionics]

I think the innovative use of that pearlescent paint is going to be a big game-changer for the statues industry. A year from now we'll be seeing various collectibles shimmering with pearl and chrome accents, even those collectibles that don't necessarily call for it.

[@gungadonbear]

Dazzler has always been one of my Favorites! he Light based power has the potential to be stunning, and you made it look amazing!

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you like it, thank you very much for the positive feedback 😊

[@TamaraKane]

She's beautiful! When can we get a Dazzler movie?! Come on, Hollywood!

[@shanerenfrow3275]

This is gorgeous! I hope her MCU look is this perfect

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@jartober]

Dazzler is one of the most underrated and awesome X characters. Her power is brilliant and she's a rebel. She's a legend. Fact!

[@Pesudone]

$700 is so little for the amount of work and knowledge this requires. Years of dedication and practice on top of the immense amount of work on the piece alone! Edit: Forgot to mention that the piece is incredibly beautiful. From the sculpting to the beautiful paintjob. It's all just mindbogglingly good.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much for the positive feedback!! 😊

[@OYME13]

Absolutely premium disco job on the painting. You are a phenomenal artist

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Stay tuned for more painting videos like this, thanks for watching 😄

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

Wow, incredible! The paint application is as good as the sculpt. The color choices are exceptionally perfect for her.

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you like it, thanks for the positive feedback!! 😁

[@jasondebolt78]

Love the videos. They have a Bob Ross feel. What an amazing talent. Thanks for sharing it.

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoy these, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more! 😊

[@shoesupsleevesdown]

the amount of work (and talent) that goes into these is crazy. as a dazzler fan, im really starting to wonder about getting it.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! If you do ever decide to get it, we hope you love it! Thanks for watching ❤

[@SkilledButton]

Phenomenal job, beautiful statue. Really appreciate these in depth looks from the artist, so talented.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you so much 😀

[@chrisdoan9810]

Absolutely stunning! PO day 1! Can't wait for Dazzler

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you like it and very exciting you got your pre-order in! Thanks for watching ❤

[@cro-emils783]

Inspiring. Amazing work put into it.

[@bastienvs]

All those colors and the metallic ones !! Truly beautiful work!

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you!! 😀

[@earlleary]

I have several Sideshow pieces. It's very nice to see the care taken with the pieces. I absolutely LOVE watching the paint process being used here. Dazzler turned out AMAZING! ❤

[@CollectSideshow]

What are the pieces Sideshow you have?? Also, thanks for the positive feedback and for watching!! Stay tuned for more painting videos like this 🙂

[@earlleary]

@CollectSideshow Thanks for reaching out ! I'll list my items for you. 1. The Michael Myers Full Size bust with hand and knife 2. Michael Myers full.figure standing on round base of scenes from the movie 3. The OTHER version of #2 ,I believe that one is called Silver Screen, The same piece just in black and white. 4.The Batman that Laughs , with all of his chains and hooks, he is incredible. 5. Pennywise kneeling ontop of a coffin 6. Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman, stretched out holding her whip and comes with a black cat you can pose anywhere. She is remarkably stunning! 7. Ghostface breaking through the doorframe. I want you to know, I go to horror conventions and meet the actors in my favorite movies. I have taken this piece with me to two separate conventions and I now have ALL of the kids autographs from the original movie along the white and green top part of that door frame ! They all loved it when they saw it. This piece is now priceless to me. 8. This one is gonna go WAY off from the rest, lol. The Cinderella piece, where her dress is coming to life. I currently am waiting on the latest Michael Myers full figure standing on a platform of skulls. And the Dr.Loomis figure. I've ordered some other items over the years, but these are the best ones. I've never been unsatisfied with anything I have ever received from you guys. I know I can trust your work, so I'm sticking with you. And it's videos like this one that show me WHY I never have any issues. You take pride in what you put out , and that makes a world of difference.

[@earlleary]

Oh! I can't believe I left this one out! I also have the T-1000 with the arm piece. AND, I took this piece to Robert Patrick at a convention, and he was so happy to see it, even though he has one. But I had him autograph on the collar of the figure. And in our photo we took together, HE, got the wize idea to grab the metal spike hamd off of the figure and hold it up against my chest, and it was so spur of the moment that he did this , we are pretty much laughing in the photo. It was a GREAT EXPERIENCE! ! !​@CollectSideshow

[@aberodriguez4149]

Awesome statue and painting. 😎👍👍👍

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!!

[@dm8595]

LOVE! Your talent astounds me and she looks incredible. I just wish there was some reddish/orange in her hair as Dazzler is a strawberry blonde, not a “bleach” blonde. Still, exquisite.

[@MrGutGrinder]

Same. It's stunning but the hair color kinda bums me out

[@nunyab.1678]

That's amazing.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more 😁

[@stephenschroeder6567]

Thank you for sharing this insider look at the painting process! I ordered mine on day one and immediately began designing a display case worthy of such a beautiful statue. I have 12 other wonderful statues from Sideshow, but I have never been more excited about one than this Dazzler. She is my ultimate favorite character and there has not been a large piece done on her in a very long while. I already have the fine art print and a large reproduction of the cover to Uncanny X-Men 130 that will be incorporated into the display I am building. I will send you pictures/video of the completed display. A Huge Thanks to Sideshow and their talented artists for bringing the character to life.

[@CollectSideshow]

Very awesome, we love to hear about your excitement for this, thanks for the positive feedback!! We can't wait for this to join your collection 😊❤

[@Pachinosin]

As the owner of over 25 quarter scales statues thank you to you and all the painters for the fantastic work and your individual effort making each piece unique Correction. Just purchased the Green Lantern premium format so now will own 26 QS 😊

[@CollectSideshow]

Wow, over 25 1/4 scale statues, that's awesome!! We appreciate your positive feedback, thank you very much 😊

[@AmedeeBoulette]

Absolutely unbelievable!!! Stunning.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ughugh3767]

I love the design of the reflecting glimmer shapes, it really captures the 2D drawn style

[@CollectSideshow]

Thanks for the positive feedback!! 😊

[@cerethpainting6606]

I love these “tutorial” or process videos. Working for sideshow would be a dream come true!! Thanks for a great video!!!!

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoy these painting videos, stay tuned for more 😊

[@BlueBeetle1939]

I love Dazzler so much shes the best xman by far and the xtreme x run where she meets an older gruff soldier version of herself might be one of my favorite all time comics

[@lindseybotelho]

Wow that linear holo chrome is stunning!

[@jynnedwards5355]

Absolutely stunning! I love watching videos of statues and figures being painted, and all the minute details it takes to really flesh-out each character. Great job!

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much!! Be sure to stay tuned for more painting videos like this 😄

[@luisd7636]

great artists at Sideshow.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@Elle_De_Jour]

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you so much!

[@beepuff]

Absolutely love getting to see how the whole statue is painted.. phenomenal job

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoyed seeing the painting process! Stay tuned for more videos like this, thanks for watching!

[@Desmo904]

Stunning artwork. Just amazing! I'm constantly in awe of your talents! Such fine detailing with the airbrush and fine brush and the sweeping motion of the larger pieces. I was confused when you talked about the purple on her costume (when it looked white) and then POW! The amazing transformation into the metallic purple! 😍 That's Art.

[@CollectSideshow]

We're happy you enjoyed the video, thank you very much for the kind words and for watching! ❤

[@bendrix1932]

Amazing! I loved the Dazzler ever since I saw her in the Dark Phoenix storyline.

[@The.Last.Son1010]

That is beautiful!! Oh my God

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you like it, thanks for watching!

[@En_theo]

Wow. Just magnificent. Also, watching these artists painting statues feels like these hypnotic "satisfying" videos :)

[@CollectSideshow]

Maybe we should do a satisfying painting ASMR video! Haha thanks for the positive feedback and for watching 🙂

[@williamowens5144]

This looks like an absolute masking nightmare. Kudos to Kat for making the masking job look easy, and to the photographer for all the disco touches in the reveal!

[@romantratwa7848]

wow, amazing job, great video and editing

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! Stay tuned for more 😄

[@dddaaa6965]

wow she is so talented that looks amazing

[@Animaxx010]

Wow, the paint on this looks phenomenal.

[@Katia_Targaryen]

Such a master piece. I totally loved it 💜💙💜💙💜

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad to hear you loved it, thank you very much for watching! 😀

[@cubannel12]

Excellent job with the color skim and the subtle details on the painting of Dazzler. Really well done. Beautiful piece.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much, we appreciate your positive feedback 😊

[@rrahll]

Amazing result and interesting painting process!

[@CollectSideshow]

We're glad you enjoyed this peak at the painting process! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more 😊

[@jotadejuan9974]

I ever have loved the first version of Dazzler.

[@ianmacrae2749]

Do you do any videos about skin shadows and highlights?? Always seem to skip these crucial parts

[@xdan0x]

Awesome work and great video!

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much!

[@christiannavarro8892]

I love these videos ❤

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoy them, thanks!! Stay tuned for more 😄

[@sveeart]

Stunning work 😍

[@CollectSideshow]

Much appreciated, thank you!! 🙂

[@laidner]

Obrigado pelo vídeo! As cores psicodélicas ficaram linda demais, eu amo esse clima disco! Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível!

[@CollectSideshow]

Obrigado pelo feedback positivo e por assistir!

[@boodledemic6430]

This is gorgeous. I’ve dabbled in painting board game pieces with brushes but I’d love to get into air brushing! It looks so fun (but it probably isn’t when the figures are as realistic as yours 😅 so much work)

[@RylanStorm]

I've been painting minis for the last 30 years. I'd love to give something like this a go.

[@artvankampen8993]

Beautiful! Is this the prototype she’s painting or do all of them receive this much tender love and care? Fantastic piece.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! Each of our Premium Format Figures are hand painted with meticulous detail 😊

[@AmedeeBoulette]

@@CollectSideshowHolycrap!!!!

[@jamieott3832]

I paint a lot of miniatures and i love the Golden line. Was thrilled to see all the paints on the deso! I curious if the skin wash techniques work on a smaller scale.

[@ronm6585]

Looks awesome, thank you.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much! 😄

[@Freshmaker1276]

Awesome paintjob🥰

[@CollectSideshow]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 😊

[@night746]

Awesome 👏 👏👏

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much!

[@user-xt2rb3no5b]

Beautiful, fresh, clean paint application. Love to see this. Hoping all statues can move back to this type of paint application and away from the other style of dreary, environmental shading. Above = phenomenal, well done! Environmental painting seen on other recent states doesn't turn out well at the factory. Looking forward to having this in my collection. Looks great!

[@CollectSideshow]

We appreciate your feedback, thank you very much!! 🙂

[@CollectorZown]

I love these videos. Great talent :) beautiful piece.

[@CollectSideshow]

We're glad you enjoy these videos, be sure to stay tuned for more! Thanks for watching 😊

[@benhizzle]

She’s beautiful and i love the height. She will stand tall and proud in my collection.

[@CollectSideshow]

Thanks for the positive feedback, we hope you love it when this joins your collection! 😄

[@TimeIsMine93]

Y’all ever consider doing a live stream of the process

[@CollectSideshow]

Ooo great idea, thanks for the suggestion! 👀

[@NPC-30]

Looks great.

[@Juansolo23]

[@CollectSideshow]

¡gracias por ver!

[@normasuelimonteirodesouza246]

Trabalho belíssimo! Amo aprender com vocês. Obrigada.

[@herrlogan17]

It came together really amazing! One small nitpick .....why not gloss varnish on eyes insted of that white dot?

[@moneywastedcollecting]

Beautiful work !

[@CollectSideshow]

Thank you very much!! 🙂

[@benANDjun]

So fabulous. Is each one ordered hand painted?

[@CollectSideshow]

Yes each Premium Format Figure is hand painted 😄

[@eddie1003751130]

Where i can buy those kind of brushes for detailing?

[@TheTrueMac]

inspirational, truly

[@MasterHalochief23]

Crazy work

[@CollectSideshow]

Thanks for watching! 😄

[@barabarq]

[@CollectSideshow]

Thanks for the positive feedback 😊

[@elatab11]

WHAT PAINTS DO YOU USE??

[@vonryantucio6704]

Please make a POLARIS statue too..😊

[@CollectSideshow]

That'd be cool to see, feel free to submit your product ideas here! www.sideshow.com/suggest/

[@josephdedona4760]

A rare worthwhile creative release from Sideshow.

[@daydreamerdesigns3D]

I just wished the final production piece looked anywhere close to as nice as these prototypes.

[@yewbertsfriend]

how do you make profit on this if its only 700? this is amazing

[@Supertomscustoms]

Do these featured artists just paint the masters and the rest are done in a factory?

[@kutubeg]

Woah

[@thecat11112]

How can I work here 🤭

[@frellinghazmot4443]

Do you guys do touch up jobs for statues that were already paid for? I bought a Cyclops and Gambit awhile ago and some of the paint got dinged off. Can I pay you guys to do a touch up if reship it over?

[@koenhill]

she looks like june diane raphael

[@aSkymne]

nah thats just the mom from that 70s show

[@geraldhenderson8474]

There's a demand for dazzler??

[@jartober]

Of course.. she's one of the most underrated and beloved X characters. Amazing power and iconic lady.

[@geraldhenderson8474]

@jartober wtf?? When you were a kid you wasn't like I want that dazzller action figure/ lunchbox etc

[@jartober]

@geraldhenderson8474 oh but I damn well was. She's a legend.

[@Nikencycollects]

Can you paint my garage kit ?;_;

[@kikegalvan]

Los poderes de dazzler son de Luz, nadie le explicó a la artista que no eran planetas y sus poderes no son cósmicos, debían ser bolas de luz :(

[@bryanlozado2752]

Think Taylor swift is the dazzler character

I admire you !👍subscribe / Like

Again I wish Dazzler wasn't so tall, why you got to make this hobby so hard Sideshow?

[@sciencesaves]

Hahahahah def not $700

Still not worth 700$
