UnboxingTreasures Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 @nearmint, with the year coming to a close, what would be your Top 3 statues of the year? I would go like this: Sideshow Red Sonja Prime 1 Serpentor Level 52 Studios Catgirl (taking a leap of faith -- this one should arrive shortly after Christmas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rune Posted December 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Got this one a few days ago And the real box - I added a blu-ray movie to show the size: Inside the box... Cranius is really awesome - unfortunately there's just no way to truly capture statues using photos, statues look so much better in the real world - but the following pics may provide some impressions. Cranius' base: Next: the giant Swamp Thing base weighing about 20 lbs: Turtle close-up: Snake close-up: The back of the base: Note how the base is made to make it look like Swamp Thing is standing in water - truly awesome: Bottom of the base: And now with Swamp Thing - he completely dwarfs my large 1/4 Batman DKR statue. Both statues are 1/4 in size. I think Swampy is slightly too large, but I don't have a problem with that, it makes Swampy look even more impressive next to Batman: Swamp Thing looks quite different depending on the light - here're a few examples: - and here taken with a real camera (I'm using a smartphone): The complexity of Swamp Thing is astonishing, check out his back: I'm really happy for the piece, it's everything I hoped for and even more. I better start reading the Saga of Swamp Thing again, there's no better motivation for reading those books than looking at this statue. The complexity of the statue is so high I feel I'll never get tired of looking at it. It even makes my Galactus maquette look dull and boring!

I'm not crazy about the base but it's the best black costume or symbiote Spider-Man I've seen so far.

My Snake Eyes statue was delayed again. I'm assuming Scarlett will be delayed as well but she was always scheduled for next year. My top would probably have to be a smaller scale statue or figure. I have to look around and give it some thought. Looks like Swamp Thing came out ok. I might have to decide on one when I finish the Wrightson Artist Edition.

I was fence-sitting this one for a long time. Huge Swampy fan, but man that is a pricey and large statue. Not sure where I'd put it even if I decided to spend the $$$. But your post has me reconsidering... Rune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadripoorNights Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’m digging the PVC statues that have good detail for a reasonable price. The brown suit Wolverine is a recent release that I preordered for myself and my wife decided to wrap up as a Christmas present.

You're welcome - I've had it for more than a month, and I still can't take my eye off it ;-) It's covered by a lot of paint, and it looks muddy - but that's just how Swampy should look. Like the swamp, Swampy absorbs light, so this statue does benefint from a lot of light - also to show it's surface structures and shadows. In a badly lit room the statue doesn't necessarily show many colors - it may simply look like this: I'm considering setting up some spot lights to really show off the statue. About the $$$, note that depending on your location shipping and VAT may be expensive. I paid $200 for the shipping (from Hong Kong to Scandinavia, took 1 day using DHL Express, awesome speed, but not free ;-) - and $275 for VAT - $1250 in total.
