COI Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 So, a general question: what do you guys find more interesting, an unfocused but diverse collection of statues, or a very specific theme or focus, like having multiples pieces for just X-Men or Avengers characters (for example)?

HarveySwick Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 very specific theme or focus I just love when someone has a passion for a certain character and collect pieces for that character or related characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm at a crossroads now, and am trying to decide whether to go with focused or unfocused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeus-migration Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Go focused or else you will get too much stuff you won't need at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Batman and Conan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If those are your favorite characters, I say you absolutely focus on them. Sure you could have 200 mix and match statues, but without order... If it's all Batman and Conan - IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Focus, schmocus. Sideshow, schmideshow. All the kool kids know Bandai is where it's at. Here's the North Shore Kaiju King and his collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madness Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 So, a general question: what do you guys find more interesting, an unfocused but diverse collection of statues, or a very specific theme or focus, like having multiples pieces for just X-Men or Avengers characters (for example)? Focus man! Otherwise things can get out of hand and you'll end up spending more money than you want to. They say it's addicting, but in the long run, you don't want like hundreds of statues, unless that's your thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Nice lot of Ultraman on the table....I almost ordered one of those off amazon... I should probably run from this thread while I still can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAHokie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The wife happened to be off work so I told her that she could not leave the house for any reason until the delivery guy came. Even she admits the statue is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll vote for a very specific theme. Off the top of my head, I'd say something like MsMarvel booties??? I'm at 5 and counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sufunk Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 COI, did you get the Sideshow Galactus? That thing is awesome and I don't even like Galactus! It's just so freaking big though! I can't justify spending almost a grand on something I don't have room to display no matter how cool it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psithyrus Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 So, a general question: what do you guys find more interesting, an unfocused but diverse collection of statues, or a very specific theme or focus, like having multiples pieces for just X-Men or Avengers characters (for example)? Loose focus with the freedom to pick up something outside of the focus if it is really cool. I like small aggregates of associated pieces. . . I have a Wolverine and a Hulk that look like the cover to Incredible Hulk #181. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't justify spending almost a grand on something I don't have room to display no matter how cool it looks. Nope. It is indeed awesome and I've thought about it, but to get a piece of that size and price, I'd have to be a huge fan of the character. I like Galactus, but not enough to justify that purchase.

I have a Wolverine and a Hulk that look like the cover to Incredible Hulk #181. Yeah, as much as I wish I could focus, I tend to agree. There's two reasons to buy a statue - how amazing the piece is itself, and how you feel about the character being portrayed. Sometimes a piece is so good, you almost don't care about who the character is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
