  1. I think they are “normal” because I understand how they would be created. However whether or not they are acceptable is sometimes a case by case basis. Pun intended. I think if it really distracts or makes the art look ugly, it is of course unacceptable. These cases were updated to a nice clear plastic to enhance the look of the book. Unfortunately that seems to have backfired. I don’t have any ideas on how to completely solve the problem, other than being more aware of it during quality control and having no hesitation to recase the book before returning it to the customer. In my opinion it’s not just the Newton rings that are upsetting customers (and potential customers) it’s the cgc’s response to the issue. There’s no way they can see the horrible examples of this and just shrug it off.
  2. Unboxed my Flashpoint Batman by Prime 1 Studios. Truly epic statue here. This is my first 1/3rd scale piece. It’s much bigger than I imagined. Perfect statue though...just wow.
  3. Hi Dave I’d recommend joining the Statue Buy/Sell/Trade group on Facebook if you haven’t already. Good luck on your hunt.
  4. Bought Absolute Sandman 5 for $24. Just need Death and Overture and I’ll be complete...love these Absolute formats...these and Preacher are the best.
  5. I only have one book on my pull tomorrow so I might give it a shot.
  6. Thinking about newton rings really motivates me when I’m using a punching bag.
  7. That variant for #181 had me a little the smiley face on his hat had some symbolism goin on. Finally got to see some walkers in this one!
  8. I’m a bit of a newb to statue collecting, but I thought Prime 1, XM, and Hot Toys were all affiliates with Sideshow? Since you can buy them all on the Sideshow website. Sure they probably get more out of their own Premium Formats but why would they try to stop promotion of those other companies?
  9. I love King’s Mister Miracle but the whole Batman series has not impressed me in the slightest. Jokes and Riddles was the real cut off point for me and beyond that all the ‘Bat’ and ‘Cat’ stuff annoys the hell outta me. I get that romance can be a part of Batman’s story but I’d agree with the post above where it feels too much like a teen mag.
  10. BATMAN BY GRANT MORRISON OMNI VOL 1 BATMAN TMNT DELUXE HC I HATE FAIRYLAND #20 THE WALKING DEAD #181 HILLBILLY #11
  11. One of the best female pieces from Sideshow I’ve seen. Great buy!!
  12. The Jim Lee one has me tempted. But it’s been pretty easy for me to pass on variants lately.
  13. MISTER MIRACLE #9 RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #23 I HATE FAIRYLAND #19
  14. MEATGRINDER ALERT!! Nice score Wombat. Was waiting to see if he posts that one. I have two copies so I’m not too butthurt
  15. Considering checking this one out to get an autograph from Coster-Waldau...dont see too many GoT people at cons besides SDCC.
  16. is the Deadpool a wrap around or just a horizontal image on the front cover?
