Lobo Maquette

Lobo Maquette

Sideshow Collectibles turns the Main Man into a heavy-metal centerpiece with the Lobo Maquette. Instead of a simple standing pose, Lobo plays a three-barreled guitar gun while standing atop a pile of defeated aliens, a perfect fit for a character who treats every fight like a rock concert. Sculpted and designed by Martin Canale, this mixed-media piece is one of the most personality-packed Lobo collectibles on the market.

Design, Scale & Display Options

The maquette measures approximately 20 inches (51 cm) tall, 23 inches (58 cm) wide, and 9 inches (23 cm) deep, giving it a wide, stage-like composition. Lobo’s costume uses a mix of sculpted and real-world materials: fabric pants, a faux-leather vest, and metal chains add texture and realism that pure polystone cannot match. The cigar-chomping portrait captures his trademark grin, and the exclusive edition adds an alternate dreadlocked portrait inspired by another classic look for the character.

Rock-and-Roll Storytelling

The base is packed with details. Defeated aliens pile up beneath Lobo’s boots, and sharp-eyed fans will find hidden space-dolphin details that nod to one of the character’s oddest affections. The guitar gun is the star of the show, combining a rock instrument with three barrels of firepower. From the back, the vest patch and chains add even more character, so the maquette is worth displaying where it can be seen from multiple angles.

The mixed-media approach makes this piece stand out in a collection. The fabric and leather elements catch light differently than the sculpted surfaces, which gives the figure a sense of depth and realism that rewards close inspection.

Who This Statue Is For

This maquette is ideal for collectors who love Lobo’s humor and attitude as much as his toughness, and for fans of Sideshow’s mixed-media craftsmanship. It also makes a great centerpiece for a DC antiheroes display or a collection with a music theme. Collectors who appreciate hidden details and storytelling bases will find plenty to explore. Released in 2019, it is now typically found through Sideshow or on the secondary market. If you want a Lobo display that makes people stop and smile as well as stare, this is the one, combining menace, humor, and showmanship in a single composition that only the Main Man could pull off.

Lobo in Comics

Created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, Lobo first appeared in The Omega Men #3 in 1983. The last Czarnian is a regenerating intergalactic bounty hunter who calls himself “the Main Man,” rides a Spacehog motorcycle, and handles every job with maximum violence and dark humor. His 1990s solo series, especially the work of Keith Giffen, Alan Grant, and artist Simon Bisley, cemented his heavy-metal image. This maquette leans fully into that image, turning Lobo into the galaxy’s loudest headliner.
