Nick Fury Comiquette

Joining the Sideshow Collectibles Marvel line is the Nick Fury Comiquette, depicting the famed leader of the SHIELD. Presented in 1:5 scale, each piece is individually painted and finished with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. Wielding his classic pistols and complete with a switch-out right hand holding a magnum revolver, the Nick Fury Comiquette is the perfect addition to any Marvel display.

Son of World War I pilot Jack Fury, Nick Fury became a legendary hero in the early years of World War II, taking missions into Europe alongside his friend Red Hargrove under the command of Lt. Samuel Sawyer. Sgt. Fury lead the US Rangers' First Attack Squad, soon nicknamed the "Howling Commandos" for their boisterous battle cry. The Howlers occasionally worked alongside Captain America and Bucky, who became significant allies. During one mission, Fury's left eye was damaged by a grenade, and his lack of medical care eventually aggravated the wound. At one point, Professor Berthold Sternberg gave Fury the "Infinity Formula," which retarded Fury's aging process, although it required him to take regular injections to stay alive. Late in the war, Fury joined the OSS and, with the war's end, joined their post-war CIA agency.

In recent years, Fury was selected as director of SHIELD, an international intelligence agency equipped with state-of-the-art technology by Tony Stark. Fury recruited many of the Howlers to the organization, notably Timotny "Dum-Dum" Dugan. As leader of SHIELD, Fury faced the likes of Hydra, AIM, Scropio (his own brother Jacob) and the Hate-Monger (Adolf Hitler's clone). Fury was reunited with Captain America, who survived years in suspended animation. When SHIELD was beset by a conspiracy at its highest level by the Deltite, Fury allowed the organization to disband and later rebuilt it as a smaller unit he could more closely monitor. Fury also discovered he had a son, Mikel, who took the identity of Scorpio at first, but later joined SHIELD. Fury later learned of a Skrull invasion, which had infiltrated even the ranks of Earth's heroes. Needing people he could trust, Fury recruited Quake and various other young superhumans into his Secret Warriors and helped defeat the Skrulls. In the battle's aftermath, Norman Osborn gained mastery of SHIELD and replaced it with his own agency, HAMMER. Fury kept his Secret Warriors together to combat HAMMER and uncovered data alleging SHIELD had been a pawn of Hydra since its inception. Dum-Dum gathered many of the SHIELD agents loyal to Fury into the Howling Commandos Private Military Company, and Fury helped set them up as his personal army.
