STANLEY 'ARTGERM' LAU ARTIST SERIES
CATWOMAN
~ 1/5 SCALE STATUE ~

Hailing from Hong Kong, Stanley Lau is a designer and concept artist who has brought his own signature blend of eastern and western art styles to the worlds of video games, illustration and comic books. Known by the handle “Artgerm” his bold visual style has garnered great acclaim and earned him an ever growing fan base of collectors and admirers.

We are huge fans of Stanley’s work here at Sideshow, and we had the great pleasure of collaborating with him previously on our hugely popular Pepper Premium Format Figure. We found Stanley’s concept art translated incredibly well to 3D, and we had so much fun working with him that we decided to expand our line up to include a whole new series of limited edition 1:5 scale statues!



Drawing inspiration from elements of high fashion and popular culture, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau has brought his distinctive, fun and vibrant style to some of DC Comics most iconic leading ladies. Working closely with Stanley, our team of artists, designers and sculptors have taken his beautiful renditions of these popular characters and lovingly recreated them in 3D – bringing Artgerm’s work to life in a whole new dimension! We are proud to unveil the first of this new series of signature edition 1:5 scale sculptures by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau – the Catwoman!



Considered by many to be one of the greatest comic book villains of all-time, Selina Kyle A.K.A Catwoman is no mere costumed criminal. Over the years since her initial inception, her character has evolved significantly, with a rich and fascinating personality that has kept readers coming back for more. Gotham’s premiere femme fatale has proven to be a both a thorn in Batman’s side and to hold the keys to Bruce Wayne’s heart.

Artgerm’s interpretation of this much-loved character strikes a playful pose, wrapping her trademark bullwhip around her waist and transfixing the viewer with a wry smile and a knowing glance. Her re-imagined costume features multiple contrasting layers and textured panels, managing to be both retro and futuristic while retaining that sleek and sensuous silhouette that will forever be synonymous with the curvaceous cat burglar.

Sure to be a hit with lovers of retro pin-up art as well as fans of Gotham’s most mischievous miscreant, this limited run, signature edition statue is sure to find pride of place in any home!

Dem Vorschaubild nach zu urteilen, gefällt mir Catwoman leider nicht. Elemente wie die Maske mit der hohen Stirn und die flippige gelbe Brille lassen bei mir kein Kaufdrang aufkommen. Schade, denn nach den "Birds of Prey" wären die "Gotham City Sirens" ein weiters Team Up das mich sehr reizen würde. Zumindest die beiden anderen Damen sehen schonmal sehr vielversprechend aus.

Auch wenn mir diese Catwoman nicht so zusagt, muss man Sideshow zu Gute halten, dass sie der Vorlage sehr nahe kommen. Und die Umsetzung scheint allgemein auf hohem Niveau, auch wenn die Base etwas dürftig ausgefallen ist.

Dachte erst die Base wäre provisorisch. So wird die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters natürlich nicht vom wesentlichen abgelenkt. Weiß nicht ob Ich die catwoman mögen soll oder nicht. Einerseits mal eine echt neue Art der Darstellung andererseits bisschen "wenig" Catwoman.
