Quack the Case with Marvel and Sideshow’s Howard the Duck Statue

Posted on by

Marvel’s new Howard the Duck-inspired Premium Format Figure from Sideshow pays tribute to the best duck-tective this side of Earth-616. A strange fowl in a stranger land, Howard the Duck was transported from his home dimension and trapped in a new world.

Inspired by his appearance in Marvel Comics, this fully sculpted, high-end collectible measures 11 inches tall (27.94 cm), 7 inches wide (17.78 cm), and 7.2 inches (18.28 cm) deep.

Detective Howard Duckson is ready to team up with other Marvel Super Heroes to defend against foes. He wears a brown sculpted detective suit, complete with a cutout for his tail feathers. His angular portrait captures all the cranky yet charismatic energy of the short-statured sleuth. Expertly applied paint details emphasize the sculpt of his plumage and distinctive webbed feet. A copy of the Daily Bugle hangs open on his table, brimming with breaking news about zany heroes, villains, and everyone in between.

Waugh! Dropping all the way from Duckworld to your collection, the Marvel Howard the Duck Premium Format Figure is available to pre-order now.
