Sideshow Collectibles X-23 Comiquette Polystone Statue
When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original Weapon X experiment, the project's director, Doctor Martin Sutter, recruited renowned mutant geneticist Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone. But the only available genetic sample from Weapon X was damaged, and they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome. Kinney proposed they create a female clone, and though her request was initially denied at the urging of fellow experimenter Doctor Zander Rice, she proceeded to produce a viable female subject. Acting as the surrogate mother for the clone, Kinney gave birth to X-23 who would be raised in captivity.
While Kinney did her best to ensure that the child retained some semblance of humanity, X-23 was brutally trained as a killing machine. Rice accelerated the activation of her mutant gene by subjecting her to radiation poisoning and forcibly extracted her claws, coating them with Adamantium. Next, Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent" that sent X-23 into an involuntary berserker rage with just a whiff. Turning her into a powerful living weapon, Rice leased X-23 to the highest bidder as an assassin and secretly ordered X-23 to kill Dr. Sutter and his family. Later, Rice revealed to Kinney a chamber with dozens of incubation pods containing female clones and then fired her. Before she fled the facility with X-23, Kinney gave her one last mission - destroy the pods and kill Rice. But Rice was able to exact revenge on Kinney from beyond the grave, as he had earlier exposed her to the trigger scent, sending X-23 into a rage that caused her to kill her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 Laura.
After her mother's death, Laura traveled to San Francisco to find her aunt Debbie and cousin Megan. It was her one chance at a normal life, but Laura's past would soon catch up with her. Discovering her whereabouts, Kimura, X-23's handler at the Facility, came after Laura. In a closely fought battle, X-23 outsmarted Kimura, narrowly escaping and leaving a bloody wake of Facility agents behind her. Laura knew her family's only chance at survival would be to run - without her. Before Megan stepped over the border into Canada, she gave Laura a locket that held photos of Laura's mother and herself, and with that, X-23 set off to find and destroy her fellow living weapon, Weapon X
Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents the latest from the Marvel Comiquette line, X-23. Based on the NY:X series and the Target X storyline, X-23 captures Laura Kinney at her finest, with Adamantium laced claws ready for action. Hand painted and hand finished to exacting standards, X-23 is recreated here in outstanding, breathtaking detail.
