Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin more popularly known as X-men’s Colossus, was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum. He was first introduced way back 1975 on X-Men #1. Colossus is a very unique character, for offense he has incredible amount of strength probably the strongest member of the X-men physically. But on the other hand Piotr can transform his body into an indestructible metallic form giving him a defense that is also probably the toughest among the X-Men team. A classic match for Colossus was Cain Marko a.k.a. The Juggernaut. At some point in the Marvel Universe Colossus took the mantel of the Juggernaut making him the unstoppable Colossus. This is mostly bad news but Piotr has a kind heart. Even hosting Cyttorak he can manage to control the urge to destroy everything and anything. Thus Colossus as juggernaut is way better than Cain Marko as the evil juggernaut. Enough talk lets meet Marvel Select’s Colossus in his classic X-Men uniform.

Colossus escaping his box and finally getting some air.
Although in his metal form he can survive without food, water and air.
The figure is nicely painted with no paint errors visible so far.
Colossus’s upper shirt can be removed if you wanted, but the lower half can't so why bother. Another thing is that I don't want to break his head hahaha.
In the comic books Colossus is a serious and shy person.
This head sculpt depicts his personality very well.
Colossus had no accessories but came with a back ground or stand.
Juggernaut and Colossus nemesis for life but best buds in my shelf.
Juggernaut + Colossus = The Unstoppable Colossus
