Cat Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It's been so many years since I've bought a Koto Bishoujo statue. I think the Star Wars Jaina was my last one. Before that, they were all Marvel. These two I can't make heads or tails of. I think I like them..... maybe? https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/kotobukiya-bishoujo-transformers-optimus-prime.1227746/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whip is nice, if not too fragile? Thank you. Whip is a metallic wire type material. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadpoolJr. Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Got this guy but haven't been able to set him up yet since I don't have the space at the moment. Will probably wait until I can redo the room a little and put up another bookshelf or two. Also really love the custom commission stuff I'm seeing. Can anyone here recommend someone for something like that? There's one or two characters I would commission since I doubt I'd ever see them get official licensed releases, either not being that popular or licensing issues.

F For Fake Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 On 2/12/2022 at 12:38 PM, MultiSig Mike said: I recently commissioned an artist to repaint this Classic Catwoman Statue. It's from the WB Studio Store (1999) and she stands about 12" tall. I wanted it to be more Jim Balent style so I asked them to use 90's purple and also touch up the color of the face. We also decided to make "heels" as the original had her not wearing shoes. What are your thoughts? Cool! I've got this one, as well as the Poison Ivy. I miss the old WB stores, this stuff was a lot of fun. The art prints, aniimation cels, etc. I used to know a guy who worked at the WB Gallery, and he'd hook me up with discounts and promo stuff. I used to have a huge Batgirl banner that had hung in the store, long since destroyed by flooding. They had such cool stuff, though!

Love it all, and love your user id. I'm a big British horror fan. Hammer/Amicus/Tigon, whatever, I'm into it, especially if Cushing and/or Lee are involved! I assume you've seen the Van Helsing and Drac premium format statues Sideshow is doing? Pricey, but they look sweet. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years I've written biographies published on Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasence and Ralph Bates. This year I have a magazine biography on perennial bad guy Milton Reid coming out in Midnight Marquee.

Andahaion Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Ordered this in November 2020. Just arrived today, but still waiting on the Gandalf the White to accompany the Witch King. Not sure if anyone has ever ordered from Weta Workshop, but wanted to share some pictures. Quality seems pretty good for the price of $120. I could be wrong because I don't collect many statues, but this is pretty cool. It has presence. The only real bummer is that the plastic packaging near the base broke and the sharp angles put some unsightly scratches onto the base. I'm not going to let it worry me too much, but was disappointed. I sent Weta an email with pictures just to let them know.

There's a Daredevil statue I really like, but it's 22" high?! That would be a huge statue, no? 22” is average or maybe even a little small for 1/4 scale which is a very popular scale. I think most of mine are more like 24-28 so the couple 20-22s I have look kind of dinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
