"The X-Men have such a rich, yet tragic history. To commemorate, DF worked to create two busts presenting the heroes of the X-Men who gave the ultimate sacrifice - their lives," said Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. "So, we are starting our 'Memorial' Diorama line with two of the biggest heroes - Colossus and Thunderbird!"

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: THE COLOSSUS MEMORIAL DIORAMA
http://www.dynamicforces.com/htmlfiles/p-C98495.html

From his first appearance in Giant Size X-Men #1 to his noble death in Uncanny X-Men #390, the stalwart X-Man -- Colossus -- was not only one of the founding members of the "all-new, all-different" X-Men, but also the heart and soul of the mutant team. This tribute diorama, designed, sculpted and painted by The Gore Group, stands an impressive 10" tall by 8" wide (shoulder to shoulder) and brims with the power of Colossus and he stands defiant in his armored form!

Limited to just 1,000 pieces in the world, the Colossus Memorial Diorama is a must-have for your collection!

This tribute diorama, designed, sculpted and painted by The Gore Group, stands an impressive 10" tall and brims with the simmering power and rage of the mighty Native American Warrior as he stands defiant!
