Beast Maquette (X-Men 3)

Sideshow Collectibles and Spectral Motion present a reproduction of the original maquette created during pre-production work on the film. Translating Beast from comic to film was particularly challenging, as Beast's appearance has varied greatly over his Marvel lifespan. The team at Spectral Motion crafted a look that is immediately identifiable as Beast, but also allows Hank McCoy's intelligence to radiate through the blue fur and the leonine visage. The Beast Maquette is a strikingly successful blend of Beast and McCoy, complete with sagely glasses and book in hand, sure to be the centerpiece of any X-collection.

This maquette is an early study of how the Beast might translate from 2D to 3D for X-Men: The Last Stand. Sideshow is proud to offer this first rendition in the long creative process of bringing this character to life on the big screen. Though covered in blue fur, and animal in appearance, the addition of the glasses and the book gives Beast and amazing feel of intelligence.
