shadroch Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 It was commissioned for the 600th anniversary of the battle and only 15 large versions were made. The crown, which isn't in the photo, is gold, and the sword is gold,with diamond bits. One was presented to the Royal family, one to the British museum and Royal Daulton sold the rest for between 25,000 and 35,000. The six inch version is a couple hundred dollars Their large pieces usually sell for $15,000 or more, just because they are so limited. They might do a dozen large ones and 10,000 small versions for everything they do, Most Royal Daulton collectors will never see a piece like this in the wild.

Every sculpt I see either has a weird head, or an off face...Am I missing one? I just started grabbing a few statues of key characters I want. Superman is one of them and I agree, I couldn’t find one that really grabbed me..:until I saw this one and bought it immediately. an99, DST, ADAMANTIUM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 On 2/3/2021 at 11:46 AM, The Man Without Beer said: This Diamond Select Premier Elektra showed up and for the price I got it for ($55 shipped) it was worth it imo. I remember being so excited when Bowen released those Daredevil statues, the yellow and red. I had to save up, because they cost a whopping $150! Can you imagine? That seemed crazy to me 20 years ago, but now statues in that scale are easily $200-$300, and the premium format lines are $600-$1k. I wish I still had the Bowen stuff. As fancy as the statues are these days, it's hard to beat those simple, classic sculpts. The Man Without Beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time it was on my priority list for a DD statue. I actually have the Iron Studios 1:4 DD on preorder. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Galen130 Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 Probably not the thread for toy-related items, but I've had this one for quite a while. It's more statue than toy. A good friend of mine, who died of cancer last year, bought it for me years ago. It rarely leaves the clear plastic box, which got crumpled during a long distance move, but Batman is just fine. Don't even know if it's worth anything...don't care. It helps me remember all the comic fun my brother-from-another-mother and I had for almost 30 years. onlyweaknesskryptonite, Dave2739, Antpark and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool & Collected Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Video on how I made this Custom Base add-on for my PRIME1 VENOM statue. All material can be found at most local hardware/craft stores. This is the best Venom statue I've found, 😍 but I never liked the "silver border" around the base. I'm no artist, I just wanted do something different to make it look nicer next to my other statues on the display. I've done a Custom Kraven Base, a large Lizard base, and I thought the Venom should be next 😎 I've tried to keep the video as short as possible since I've already shown some of the techniques in the LIZARD video 😁 This is something that many collectors can do at home so I still wanted to show all steps in case you want to something similar. The foam used was Owens Corning FOAMULAR Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Rigid Foam Insulation. It's an awesome statue and I'm glad I have it as part of my Spider-Man Statue Collection ! Hope you enjoy it ! 👍 Namtak, The Man Without Beer and B2D327 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
