Best Daredevil for my money. I generally take a long hard look at all of the statues for a given character and pick one because I don't really like having multiples of the same character. This is the Daredevil I got. No regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally don't pick up the battle-damaged pieces. There have been a couple good Wolverine's where his mask is damaged or torn as well. If I were willing to do like 2-3 of each character then I'd be more willing. Like Wolverine I'd probably do one mask, one unmasked, and one damaged.

Multiple 1/4 or 1/6 takes up alot of space as well. the DD i have on P.O is custom and i've always favored the original yellow costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Iconic1s Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Prime 1 (ordered through Sideshow) Cyborg Superman 1:3 scale FINALLY arrived today. Pre-ordered in Jan 2019 and paid off over a year ago. I had three birthdays since ordering this guy. Worth the wait! My only criticism is I would have personally enjoyed the ‘90’s style red undies on the outside. Did not order the ‘exclusive’ because it was not the Hank that I love!

Complete with CHAIN BELT @F For Fake is the one who informed me of Bowen, as I'm still a noob, it really does capture the classic feel Hey bud! Yeah, I used to be a huge Bowen freak. Was a member of the fan club, all of that good stuff. Used to have a ball back on the old message boards on his site. The truth is that without Randy Bowen, we wouldn't have any of the statues we have today. There were pieces here and there over the years, but he is the one that pioneered the format, created innovations like "the mini-bust" (which was a cottage industry unto itself for many years), and gave so much to the hobby. I eventually sold off my Bowen stuff as I downsized my collection, but the itch to get back into it is always there. In fact, I had bids in on two statues this morning that I just barely missed out on. I'd love to have the cases full of them again, but it ain't cheap!

Still a captivating statue Not bad for turning him into the Cyborg Supe's. Were you also going to go for a full set, if they end up doing the Eradicator and others?

No Sir, he fit on the same big table. Just on opposite ends. I really like this piece. Was looking at it again last night after posting this and it’s probably overall my favorite statue. Really love the primary colors of the suit mixed with the metallic parts!! Oh man, I would love to have the entire set if they made them! As slow as production seems to be these days that would probably take many years now though! Thanks and take care!

ADAMANTIUM Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 @Artifiction Funny story. I had Mr Lee sign this and then, instead of putting it back in the box I brought, I wrapped it with bubble wrap and stuffed it in my back pack 😂 Needless to say it somewhat broke haha, still a keepsake! I even brought it back to show him, he mentioned buying another and he'd sign for free! Artifiction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice of him to do that. He does a cool Batman. Not sure how to describe his style .... "gritty" maybe?

"gritty" maybe? ya I asked him about it, he said it took a minute to perfect the style. Someone nearby at the time asked where he came up with his "1st published" Namor issue I basically summed it up as doing no wrong, just getting started and all. Still I probably stuck my foot in my mouth a couple of times, but I was 1st in line and he seemed real easy going Artifiction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicartfan Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I am going to resurrect this thread with a recent preorder that is coming soon….and a new piece I was lucky to get my hands on. The first is the Batman Who Laughs from Sideshow which ships this week. The second is a custom piece from an Italian artist which is due to ship in April (birthday present to myself). There are only 10 made so I am pretty stoked !! ADAMANTIUM, Mmanick and B2D327 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
