Machine Man (X-51) by Manix Abrera

I'm happy you bought this so I will no longer be tempted.

Love the design and those colors.

So much detail and the colors are fantastic, I don't know how Manix comes up with these ideas but glad we get to enjoy them.

I love these pieces of his that almost have an Escher like quality. Congrats!

Am sad that I passed on this when I did but stoked it went to a great home!

Manix's vision for Machine Man is bar-none! 

Congratulations on the new piece! I can't wait to see it in person.

A few folks have mentioned they were mulling this...mix of regret for not getting but also gratitude for not having to think about it anymore, lol.

And yes!  In person viewing at some point soon, my man :)  Thanks, E.C., and all, for the comments!

Manix Mechanix!  

WOW!

One of the best I have seen from Manix.

Whenever I'm KG
From commissions that rage in my head
You make sense of Manix
When circuitry hangs by a thread

I lose my page, but still you
See a Machine Man
Manix Abrera
I will be your fan

Sometimes I just hold you
Too plugged into Man Machine
I'm holding a fortune
That Marcus has shipped off to me

I'll try to show you
Each of Barry wave I can
Now it’s the colors
For skilled Machine Man

Now, I can test my Kirby
And always be sure
That I won't be alone, transistors
If in Orlando, you were there
In his line
Manix time!

Done did it again in this ode to my manic Manix maniacally magnificant Machine Man madness, my man Marcus!  

"That I won't be alone, transistors" :)

Thanks for the add, man, and again for the shipping assist!

The amount of detail in this is amazing!  A top notch Manix for sure!!!

Who the hell would even want a BWS Machine Man page anymore when they have the opportunity to own THIS?!? Killer piece, man, WOW!

I'll be honest... the overload of the same old Manixs is starting to make them loose there luster to me.,, but this is NOT the same old... it's fantastic! Congratulations! 

I really like this guys work.

You chose the right subject for Manix to go wild!

The colors on this are so very vibrant!

It's a perfect commission choice for Manix, and man does he deliver! The design and detail that went in are both great, but then you have the signature color work. Somewhere Jack Kirby and BWS are smiling :)

I like that last line - both OG's smilin' at the Manix madness :)

I wish I could take credit for commissioning but this was a piece he did on his own accord - I was just lucky enough to pick it up after the fact.  The stars (or gears, maybe?  Rods?  Circuits?!) just aligned :)  

Thanks, T to the 2 - glad you like, bud!

There's something delightfully manic about this particular Manix masterpiece.  When I look at it, I hear a fun cacophany of "chug chug chug", bleeps and blorps, "zzzts" and other mechanical noises.  And ooh those wonderful colors!  I just love everything about this piece.  

Dude!  I didn't even think about it, but YES.  Can absolutely hear and feel those works while looking at this...and not hard to picture the different elements of the image moving in accordance!  Thanks for the add, Paul!

I'm so happy that this got picked up by an excellent collector! Thanks for supporting Manix! Plus an extra special thanks to Mr. Wai! 

Very impressive rendition! And so true to the character!  

killer killer Manix.

Perfect character for Manix! He makes everything feel new and fun again. Congrats!!

Lovely! Makes me wonder if MM is related to Modok!

Another great commission by Manix. Machine man is a perfect choice for Manix's style. Congrats.

Sweet Manix Machine Man!   

I bet this glows in the dark ! Sweet Manix  - 

I love a Manix piece! They are so much fun and I love all the color. This looks awesome and congrats!

Nice consolation there. It's quite difficult though getting over those narrow misses.

I'm surprised this was still available (I thought it was snapped up when it dropped), so congrats on picking it up!  It's a neat combination of Manix's style with some Kirby influences (I'm not familiar enough to see the BWS influences, but I'm sure they're there).

Killer Machine Man pin-up by Manix Abrera! I love how Manix can take any superhero and make it his own. In Manix world, everyone has rubbery limbs and lives in a brightly colored universe. Great pick-up, congrats!

Sheer perfection from Magical Manix! 

I have such love for this piece.  I thought it was super cool when I saw it and met Manix & the Next crew at OAX 2024, but I now think of it as the earliest (known to me) example of my favorite Manix style - the comic art / pop art mash-up.  I may post mine if I ever quit my now two-year streak of lazy non-posting, but in the meantime, highest congrats! (Again, since I said the same thing to you in person at Heroes 2024).

Plus it's a nod to the great BWS Machine Man covers, but that's a whole separate reply and topic.

Yeah, Andy, you did share at Hereos and I appreciate you sharing again here!  I'm right there with you as far as this being a prime Manix example, and yes, I did think about those BWS covers :)  Was great catching up for a bit Heroes - 'til the next one!  Thanks for the add!

FANTASTIC!!  Right there, firmly treading the Kirby line, but -totally- Manix, with a simultaneously "ultra-futuristic" and "runs on transistors" feel - and both feel right!  The majesty of Manix channeling King Kirby!  Gorgeous colors, and unmistakable "feel" to the piece.  Past. present, and future in one!  I'm really sorry you didn't get the BWS Machine Man - these two pieces together would have been spectacular bookends - but your BWS MM page is coming...  I feel it in my circuits!  So, SO cool, man - GREAT add!  Congrats!

It's all good, man, I'm happy with this!  And I got something comin' on the published Machine Man front...not quite from the BWS series but close :)  Thanks for the add, man, and I agree how you got some o' everything in this one...Kirby, BWS, and ALL Manix!

This one has style !
