http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=71531&type=store

[occulum]

looking better and better.
can't wait to add a lil blood to the mouth and sculpt a body part or 2 for accessories. :D

[carbo-fation]

Looks nice. Can't wait to see it in person.

[Grim Jim]

Very excited about this piece - especially with the new base. Happed to see JAWS on the big screen again a couple of weeks ago at a local theater, and now I've even got the wife geeked for Bruce to arrive! :D

[Welsh Wizard]

Only 40 pieces left....

This item is huge at 28" L :google


WW :lsvader

[Viking28]

Would of been funny to have a arm or body part floating around in the base.:rotfl

[SolidLiquidFox]

15 left....order or be eaten :monkey4

[Wor-Gar]

Holy shoot...

It was 40 pieces for like a month...and just this morning too, I checked...now its dropped to 15!

Get this piece -- its the Balrog of the sea!

[metaldude]

Thats another great looking jaws piece from sideshow. It definatly needs some body part on the base to finish it off.

[Wor-Gar]

JAWS now down to 10

Talk about something fishy...:D

[gambit]

I don't think I will be able to buy this one also considering so much stuff coming in 3rd quarter but I placed my order yesterday. It really looks nice and I am expecting my company to pay a bonus by August. If I might get the bonus, then I will go with this. If not, will cancel

[Wor-Gar]

5..... 5........ 5........

Just like Sesame Street.

[Wor-Gar]

Two weeks later...

[Wor-Gar]

Now JAWS is back up to 10 pieces...

Are people cancelling this piece?

[briank1]

Mat Falls Part 2 on the Prod Blog.

[occulum]

Exclusive is now Sold Out.
Reg edition up for order

[Collector Freak]

I never really thought of JAWS as a horror flic, but I suppose it is.

[figuremaster_les]

Well, being as JAWS is my favorite movie of all time...

And I have made several small, handmade Bruce sharks over the years...one of which I actually sent to Robert Mattey, the mechanical genius that made the sharks actually work in the movie....

Uh...YEAH!!!!

I got mine ordered and two thirds paid for now!

In fact, I have been told it was me (although I am not sure myself...) that was the call in to Sideshow asking about Terry Wurmser that got this whole 28" shark project going...(I'd LOVE it if this were true...but I can't prove it....but I did call in and ask about TW for a buddy's research project and it was about the right timeframe...)

So....

Yeah....

COLOR ME READY!

Although, all respects to Matt Fals and his very respectful and diligent work, which is great!...but...my shark is going to be VERY CUSTOMIZED! :monkey5

No details yet, until I get the 28" rascal in hand, but a total body, inch by inch repaint is an absolute, as is a complete re-toothing, and other small detail things. When I am finished, he will BE Bruce!

Trust me! I've waited 31 years for a decent body sculpt to revamp.
I'll savor this one! :D
My most anticipated "figure" ever! All else pales!

Thanks Sideshow!

[Darklord Dave]

Les, it could very well be your call that set it off. Tom G. talks about it in one of the blogs. Apparently it was a call that alerted them that Terry Wurmser's dad was also Bruce's dad.

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?p=1402

[figuremaster_les]

Hmmm....curious....
Maybe.
I just am not sure. I do know that is weird. :D

Anyway, hope this is one nice piece! Can't wait!
I like the newer base too. MUCH improved.
Although, the shark looks a bit different also. His head does anyway. Wonder if they reworked it some? He looks more like a real shark in the new shots with the newer base. Or could that be a different paintup???

[Gruson]

I too am REALLY looking forward to this piece. It cannot come fast enough.

I still think it looks a lot like Bruce.

[WetaWork]

Looking forward it as well. One of my all time favorite films.

Hey Gru, I see you have your your Jaws prints/lobby cards already framed and waiting.

I'll have it prominently displayed in my HT right in front of my vintage movie paper (original theatrical release insert) with Peter Benchley autograph. I'll also be rematting it to include Spielberg's autograph.

Thos insert style posters are perfect for statues.

Nice autograph too.

You can actually look down his thoat! Now that's cool!

Wor-Gar, you keep posting some of the coolest photos man! Thanks so much, forever in your debt!

Now I have to go back to drooling over all the new toy pictures!

[Darth_Malvagio]

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/Wor-Gar/IMG_0022.jpg
How did I miss out on this? This shot reminds of the part where Bruce attacks the orca and gets Quint. Joe Alves would be proud. If there is ever anymore I'll definitley get one.

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks, Seward! Got this and many others from the RS gallery. They've got some great pix there. Just wanted to share the wealth in the right threads. Its no fun to go "oooooh" and "ahhhhh" alone. :D

[figuremaster_les]

YEAH!

[Gruson]

Awesome! I want this now!

[carbo-fation]

Could you post some pics of the base too, please? Thanks

[Wor-Gar]

OK, first things first, this new picture shows that the throat is not hollow after all. Too bad...but he's still cool.

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/Wor-Gar/brucele0.jpg


And here's the only picture I have from SDCC of the base, CF...

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/Wor-Gar/IMG_0020.jpg


I like this base alot. :o

[carbo-fation]

Thanks for the pics Wor-Gar! This piece is simply stunning!:chew :chew

[Sith Lord 0498]

That is an INCREDIBLE piece!! As for the throat not being hollow, I'm sure one of our great customizers here will be changing that...

[gambit]

Thanks for the pics Wor-Gar! This piece is simply stunning!:chew :chew

Unfortunately yes,

I hope I would not be cancelling this as i have to chose and cancel 1-2 items of the upcoming.

[SolidLiquidFox]

I cancelled a lot of preorders. This is one that I'm keeping. Really a one of a kind item.

Watch the Tom interview from the Behind the Show archieves and see if you can cancel it. :monkey3

My thoughts exactly. After seeing that, it only cemented my decision to own this Bruce.... :monkey2

I wish I could own it but I just don't have the room for it! :monkey2

:lol I am planning on moving out by next year so maybe then! And I don't think my tc can fit this beast! :D

[mlarsen]

I was impressed by the size of this thing after seeing it in person.
It's huge!

[carbo-fation]

It's huge!


It better be huge! After all, it's Bruce we're talking about! :D

[Wor-Gar]

Why, thank you. :D

This piece looks even more awesome after seeing the SDCC pics. I can't wait to get it. :rock

Real teeth? Cool!

[SolidLiquidFox]

Sleeper hit product of the year. Awesome!! :chew

[gambit]

after watching the video, I decided to keep it,
there are only 250 exclusives out there and it will look great under my aquarium in the future :)

[Collector Freak]

I don't like the amount of human error they allowed in the piece, because the accuracy is affected. Hopefully it's really as accurate as possible in the end.

[JAWS]

I don't like the amount of human error they allowed in the piece, because the accuracy is affected. Hopefully it's really as accurate as possible in the end.


The only thing I find wrong with this piece is that the mid section of bruce is far to big compared to his head from the straight on shot. The Mouth could perhaps be a tad bigger also or it's just that the head needs to be wider. Otherwise it's a pretty perfect piece.


Not perfect and Just to compare how wide the head and mouth should be.

After looking at these photos it is clear that the head and mouth are not wide enough. However as I stated the side shot is perfect.

[Wor-Gar]

Nice picture comparison. It does seem that the mouth is not as wide, but then again the SS shark doesn't have his mouth open as wide as those pictures. All in all, its still the first and only official Bruce JAWS shark maquette so its a must have for me.

I'm onboard for the exclusive right now but with all the new SS releases (Jabba, etc), I may have to cancel the exclusive and go for the regular from a dealer. I hate to lose those "drawings" but I live in CA and tax AND shipping is a killer for this piece. If I go thru a dealer I can save more than $80... which is another figure and then some.

Either way, I'll have Bruce.

[buzzybean]

Can't wait for this and just as excited about the blueprints as I am about the maquette!

[JAWS]

Hey this is been around for awhile but is close to finally being released. It looks to be the end all be all of JAWS documentaries. THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING. The story behind it is very cool. Four friends decide to do a Doc. on JAWSFEST and before they knew it it exploded into something much bigger. Now even Chief Brody himself is narrating the film. This looks to be a must for JAWS fans out there. Heres the link.

My last flexpay payment for this is due tomorrow....
And then....shipping info.....
and then....SHIPPING! ....and then....
...and then....
WHERE IN HELL AM I STORING THE BOX THIS THING IS GONNA COME IN? MUCH LESS DISPLAY THIS ACTUAL MAQUETTE???? :D

I bet it's shipped in a refrigerator box! :rotfl

Soon....very soon!

[figuremaster_les]

Anyone heard from this yet????
Anyone billed or otherwise???
I thought they were hitting starting yesterday. Any news?

[occulum]

Can't wait for this and just as excited about the blueprints as I am about the maquette!
yeah, im with you there.
The blueprints are the one thing thats kept me from cancelling to help out my budget.

and no charging/arrival notices at all for me so far.

[figuremaster_les]

C'Mon SIdeshow!
That August 15th billing date email got me all worked up! :tap

[DarkArtist81]

I... sadly... had to cancel my exclusive due to funds this month... But I DID reorder him via FlexPay, with my first charge coming out this next month. So I should be getting him in 3 months.. Wish I could get him sooner, but $93 a month was easier to digest and I did not want to lose this awesome piece!

[figuremaster_les]

Yeah, I got mine with Flexpay the first day it was announced, way back when, and they put off the last payment until now...I hope...but I am a bit confused about the remaining orders. I mean, I guess as long as you flex pay starting now, it lasts the needed months. I just am not sure whether that is the same release of it, or another round coming out later, or what.

If anyone got it paid for in full when they ordered it back in April or May or whenever it was, then I am wondering if they have gotten any shipping notices yet. My last flexpay is due now, supposedly then it will be shipped, within several days of that....or something. It's all a bit uncertain to me anyway. They may not have them yet.

As long as it comes out soon. :D

[gambit]

I am on the edge for this.

I have to chose between Wolverine ex and jaws ex.

as I wrote under thread Iron man, the shipment cost is killing me and therefore I have to make a choice quickly. In another words, unfortunately I will have to cancel one of them :monkey2

I'm in the same boat as you, Les. [no pun intended, I don't think so anway...] My last Flexpay payment was due on the 15th as well and nothing yet regarding said final payment. Which is fine because I get paid this Friday anyway.

The schedule you see on the page for Jaws is the next Flexpay schedule for people who got in it later than you and I.

[occulum]

No Flex-Pay here.
no notice either

but dont forget some recently received their Ironman Maquette Excl. before others ever even got a charge notice. Not sure what was up with that

[Wor-Gar]

Congratulations Les! Very happy for you.

Unfortunately for me, this is a very sad day... I had to cancel my Exclusive JAWS today. I just have too many things coming over the next 2 months and something had to give. Ol' Bruce had to take the hit.

I still have a regular JAWS maquette on order with Adam, which saves me over $80. I do hope I can keep that one at least. I must have this piece, but right now I was forced to sacrifice the blueprints.

:monkey2

I'm hoping that Trevor's upcoming character sculpts will ease my disappointment. :o

Relax. Breathe. Now, think...just how big a box do you reckon this shark Maq is coming in? it measures 28" by 14" not on the base unless it all has to be assembled somehow, then it's more model than maquette....so...a small refrigerator? a CRATE......"Honey, is this the car parts you ordered?"

I bet they are flat. Bet ya! I hope I am right! :monkey1

The box is sizeable and the blueprints should be coming flat, not rolled or folded. Hope this helps!

Figured I may as well make my first post a good one, as of 945am Alaska time Bruce is sitting in my office just waiting to be opened.

Should have some pictures of him later this afternoon once I get him home.

Box is very large and pretty heavy, puts the Darth Vader PF box to shame...:)

*now goes to pout in corner* :monkey2

[Jair]

Couldn't wait till I got home, so at least opened up the outer box, ended up with #200 of #250.

The blueprints are about 22 x 17 and there are 5 sheets, one kinda of a sketch with a lot of notes an a shark that looks like the size of the Spruce Goose and the other 4 are the usual blue prints.

Box looks nice, wish I had brought my camera to work.

plus they stuck in the new Sideshow catalogue as well.

plus they stuck in the new Sideshow catalogue as well.

Evan

Way to go jair, get those pics up bro, be the first! :D

[elwood49]

Damn! I want this now! Ship to the non-Flexpayers Sideshow! ;)

[Jair]

ok ok here we go took about 8 pictures, only going to post 4 since they are pretty big.

I tried to take one next to my aussie sheppard to give some scale but he wanted no part of Jaws :)

Enjoy!!!

[Wor-Gar]

Nice! Please post the others.

How did you get him so close to the wall -- do his fins come off?

[pjam]

Wow, that looks really nice displayed, thanks Jair! :D :cool:

Love to see his jaws too! If you can...

[elwood49]

I just got my shipping notice! Bruce will be here on Friday. 29 pounds!

[Jair]

Nope Bruce's fins are stationary, the bookshelf he sits on is a good 3 or 4 inches from the wall. A few of the pictures with the poster in the background didn't come out so well, with the age of the poster, fact I have yet to have it linen backed and the lighting, the poster comes out looking worn.

He is very big though and my wife and I are debating on getting him a pedestal or another bookshelf with a wider top.

Here are a few more shots

awesome.
finally got my shipping notice too. :D

his mouth is looking bigger than I thought. Which is good. that was the only thing I was worried about..
thanks for the pics

this is getting me ready for the Kong armature too.
2 great pieces that reflect movie making history.
good job Sideshow

[Fritz]

Ooooo, looks good. I can't wait to get it.

[JAWS]

You're goin to need a bigger shelf.:cool: ;)


Can't wait for this bad boy!!!

[Gruson]

Man, just an awesome piece!!!! Thank you for the pics.

I cannot wait for mine to get here. I have the regular version on order so it will be another week or so.

My display has been ready for a while, waiting for Bruce to arrive!!!!

[figuremaster_les]

JAIR!
Unbelievable shots!
That one of the shark beneath your framed JAWS poster (I have it framed EXACTLY the same way, literally brought tears to my eyes!

Terrific shots!
Thanks for sharing that with us!

HUGE, wonderful box...

So, does he come one piece, attached to the base, or do you have to put him on it?
Is there any construction to do with him etc.?

Thanks for all the info so far.

:D :chew :D

Great pics Jair, can`t wait for mine to arrive. :cool:

Question: Does the maquette display on the base either way, as I wanted to display him from left to right.

it was announced shortly after the product reveal when they were updating the base that he indeed would be able to display in either direction.

But since I dont have mine yet, i cant confirm 100%

EDIT: found it
One more cool new feature of this base...

We made the nameplate a separate piece, so those of you who don't like it, don't have to display it. If you like it, you can choose which side of the base to mount it on. He can be face forward, sideways, or ass backwards... whatever you like!

[Jair]

You can display Jaws either way as the base has a set of grooves around the outside edges and the plaque fits into those grooves, so it can be displayed pretty much all around the base.

Bruce itself only fits one way into the watery stand, its a nice tight fit too, no wiggle room at all. The finish on the outside of Bruce is a little uneven, some areas are very smooth to the touch, others are a bit rough, like a fine grade of sandpaper, but nothing major. The eye's look a bit different then the photos, but can hardly tell the difference.

Think I am going to have to get a larger bookshelf or pedestal for him, I have the Macfarlane Jaws set as well, was hoping to somehow display that below Bruce.

I have quite a few sideshow statues from Lotr to Starwars and so far this is my favorite among them.

Ive seen that before and I may be wrong but I THINK its actually a dolphin.

That's the same plan I have. I have the shelf all ready with the Mc Jaws sitting at the bottom waiting for the SS JAWS.

Will be getting the Mc JAWS 3D poster also.

[Fritz]

Ive seen that before and I may be wrong but I THINK its actually a dolphin. Either way, its a very cool pic.

You know what, I think you're right. It never clicked in before because I was doing a search for JAWS and my mind just connected surfer with shark. But now that you mention it, it does look like a Dolphin.

[elwood49]

Ive seen that before and I may be wrong but I THINK its actually a dolphin.

Either way, its a very cool pic.

Yeah, I'm almost positive that is a dolphin. I've loved sharks forever (even had a pet shark at one point), and their shape is instantly recognizeable. That's not a shark.

[Jair]

Blueprints are nice, but really I have no place to display them, if someone had the room, they would frame up nicely, but my office walls are already taken up and I was lucky that the Jaws Poster fit in that corner.

I thought for a little bit about displaying it my theater room but Jaws wouldnt look right with Starwars and Lotr sideshow statues. I have a good size hallway leading to the theater room but it has my dvd's, books and other statue's taking up all the wall space and that doesn't even take into account of the framed movie posters up all over.

Good thing my wife loves me :)

I'm thinking about a display group for Jaws that will include the maquette w/ one of the blueprints hanging above it (professionally framed of course). I'd then like to get a PF or sculpted 1/4 Quint and get an original Jaws insert poster to go with that.

I like pdx's idea of having a tasteful grouping for my favorite movie series of all time. I'd have a LOTR area, Star Wars, Jaws, Indy, Alien, Terminator etc. all w/ artwork, statues, and a VERY minimalist/classy approach.

[Jair]

Gruson's display set up is very well done, I wish I had a room that I could work with like that.

We have an unfinshed third floor my wife and I are in the process of finshing and she mentioned at some point to make it into a collectable/library set up, but honestly I'd rather have a nice master bedroom with a corner soaking tub.

Came home early today, Jaws looks great here in the office, dog keeps looking at it though, maybe he thinks Bruce is gonna steal his dinner.


Evan

[figuremaster_les]

Pic's a dolphin. Tail is wrong for a shark, dorsal's a tad too thin and high, and pec fins are way too forward...
Great photo though. Does make you react...

Evan, your updates mean much fella. Thanks for them.

Tomorrow for me! ONE....MORE....DAY!...
Can I stand it?
It's like waiting for Christmas morning when you are a kid...will I sleep tonight or spend all night excitedly thinking about it...:lol


More to come....:D

No "dollies" today! :lol

By the way, that is one sweet display area you got there! Looks like a movie museum with a stolen object!
Mine's not nearly so crisp and clean, but it will do for now! It's just to my right...

Til tomorrow's pics, enjoy this badly photoshopped nightmare!

Congrats Les! You're probably the biggest JAWS fan I know of so this must be awesome.

I'd love to hear what you think of Bruce in hand. And please, more pictures... more, more, more. I must live vicariously at the moment.

I got more.... :D

Hope there are more recipients soon!
This is great!

Back to my shark.... :D

Man I can't wait!!!

Nice Les, and close to as nice is that Vasquez repaint... looks awesome, way better than the production!

Bruce #191 is here! what a wonderful thing to come home to after a long day at work. Beautiful Sideshow, absolutely freakin' beautiful! :monkey5 Hell, even my wife loves it!!! Thank you Sideshow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grunson - I really dig your display area - gonna have to rig me something like that.

[figuremaster_les]

Grim Jim! Now, you too are a possessor of greatness!
Share the love!

I forgot to mention mine is 118 of 250.

I wonder who got number, like, 12 or some other lower numbers?
Be interesting to see.

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks for the pix, Les. He looks great!

BTW, where'd you get the awesome wallpaper shot?

[King Darkness]

Nice pix Les, that thins is pretty damn big!!! I really like the Vader/Bruce pic. It looks like Vaders reaching out to pet him:lol....

[Grim Jim]

You are right Les, to own one of these is to be a possesor of greatness! It is really outstanding! And it really is Bruce, not some generic Great White. I love it!

I'll try to shoot some pics of him soon!

[carbo-fation]

Congrats Les, great pics!! :D By the way, where did you get that Godzilla in the back??

Godzilla...ok, segway for just a sec...

That is a RARE 13" Tsukuda 1993 Godzilla Vs MechaGodzilla G, my second fave G flick, and my second fave Godzilla suit, both after numero uno. He cost me a kid I think...snif...I hear from him in letters often...sniff... But seriously, that and the MG I got are AWESOME figure kits.
Thanks for noticing! (can this site support a Godzilla thread???)

And now we return you to our regularly scheduled broadcast....

Man, that looks NICE Les..... I am so envious!!!

Mine won't be here for at least 2 months... Have to finish the FLEXPAY cycle... :monkey2

But man is that gonna be worth it when he arrives.... He looks sick!! :D

[figuremaster_les]

I am sad for your wait my fellow painter fella you...
BUT, it will be a sweet day when you get him.

Note: he is HEAVY!!!! My god he is heavy!
This is NOT a toy! :lol

I thought by now, some more members might have one in though...maybe it's just a bit too soon yet.

[occulum]

I thought by now, some more members might have one in though...maybe it's just a bit too soon yet.

... and he's shipping to my work, but Im off tomorrow. Im gonna have to sneak in somehow to pick him up. If somebody sees me I'll never make it back home.
.. time to dust off the ol ninja outfit :cool:

[JAWS]

Is it just me or does he seem a little small. Still a great piece either way.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Cacico/JAWS3.jpg

[Jair]

He may look a little small in pictures but since he is longer then higher its pretty deceiving, he really is huge.

Every day since I've gotten him I spend time looking at him like someone who watches their aquarium...

Evan

[figuremaster_les]

Yeah, HE AINT SMALL!
That is just ONE BIG TERMINATOR!!!! :lol

[carbo-fation]

How much does he weigh and does the base light up??? :confused:

[Mookeylama]

yeah, i didn't know the base lit up, unless that last pics is photoshopped

[figuremaster_les]

I weighed my base and shark on a regular home scale and the base is about 5 pounds and the shark is right at 10. So, 15 as a set. Box is large and heavy....

No lights in my base. Solid lucite or whatever that blue tinted stuff is.

Hope that helps.

[carbo-fation]

Thanks Les! I just put myself on the wait-list for the exclusive.

[MaulFan]

Is the JAWS logo plate removable so you can put it on either side or is it in place permanently because the photos I'm seeing in here have it on different side than the official pictures.

[Jair]

There is a dual edged groove running around the edge of the base which allows you to use the display plaque pretty much anywhere on the base.

Evan

Thanks, I can't wait for Tuesday when I have him in hand. I don't know about anyone else in here, but I've been wanting an accurate full body item of Bruce for 13 years and my heart lit up when I saw Sideshow was going to make one. I love the McFarlane set, I was just disappointed they never did a full body shark, but now we have one, and from what I've seen in photos, a beautiful one. Was there a DVD of the production videos included?

[figuremaster_les]

No DVD Maulfan. Just those plans.

Yeah, that nameplate is a loose peice that has a caution breakable note on it, although I accidentally dropped mine and it bounced and all for ages it seemed and did not break. (I have NO idea what kind of stuff this thing is cast in!!!!) The nameplate sets into that 360 goove on the base anywhere you want to put it, sides, front, back, wherever. I sometimes put it under the mouth as that part faces me at my computer. But, mostly I leave it off. Looks more museum-like just as the shark. No tag. Just big fish. Seems even bigger without the tag to me.

Hope you other guys start getting them soon, as I really wanna see him in your personal displays now. Mine is so nondescript and non fancy...for now...
To see Bruce in a better display is now my biggest curiousity.
Not sure anyone has a nicer setup that Gruson's. But, it will be interesting to see!

Good luck guys! It'll be the biggest present you have ever opened, short of a car...:lol

[MaulFan]

I'll find out tomorrow, but I'm very anxious about this piece, is there anything that connects Bruce to the base or does he just rest on it, given his weight I've been worried all along how well the base could support him with such little surface area. He his separate from the base right, because Sideshow customer service told me he would be.

Yeah, he comes separate. The base has a nice, 1" rectangular post that has a metal rod inside it that protrudes up another inch. You thread that assembly into his belly and he slides down, neat as you please, onto a fine trimmed black felted top area of that wonderful, clear blue lucite post.
EXQUISITE base! You'll love it! No shaking or wobbling at all. Perfect.

Thanks for the info, I have no doubt I'll love everything about this piece, my only concern all along has been the ability to check out Bruce up close and personal off the base, and that the base supported him well, he has so many protruding pieces if he were to fall of the stand he'd lose teeth or fins somewhere along the way, can't wait til tomorrow, I think I'll have to open him up during lunch :)

[carbo-fation]

Good news guys...my exlusive order has just been converted!!:D

Well if your wife leaves you over your collectibles, she may take half, but it won't be the half you care about cuz that's what drove her away and she'll want no part of it, there's the secret to winning in a divorce, just make all of your assets collectibles and then if she splits, you come out on top, king of the hill. (Not that I wish divorce on anyone, I like making jokes and just found this to be good material.)

[Gruson]

Mine will be here on Thursday!

woo hoo!

[figuremaster_les]

Now we're talkin'! :D

[MaulFan]

I had a slight scare today, I had Bruce sent to my office so I'd be sure someone could sign for him, and FedEx has a standard drop off time at my company, and a FedEx truck came but it was regarding something else and no Bruce, which worried me. A few hours later a different truck came and apparently had vehicle troubles, but I have bruce now and I haven't had him out of the box too long, but right away, BEAUTIFUL, everything I could hope for, I am so pleased with him. Mat Falls, Terry Wermser, Anthony Mestas, and Tom Gilliland all deserve a very big thanks and congratulations on this piece. Not only is Bruce a great collectible, but a great love an care for his look has clearly gone into this and there could be no better a representation to capture his image in 3D form forever. I've wanted a "Bruce" great white for 13 years, and have attempted to make my own on several occassions and sought out any merchandise that would come close, and finally, I have one, and it's everything I've hoped for all these years.

[elwood49]

[pjam]

Sorry 'bout that elwood, but it does look amazing! Try to be patient my friend and all will turn out well. :D

[MaulFan]

It is an amazing piece, I feel it's true about every Sideshow piece, you have to see it in person to take in it's glory. In certain lighting, you'd swear it was the same texture/material as the movie robot, not a solid statue. If I had known it would be this amazing I would have paid twice it's price.

[JAWS]

just got an email that Bruce will be on the way :) :) :) :) :) :)

No idea. There is not a number on the base or the box...

[Trilogy]

Does that mean the regular edition is not officially limited, or will they announce the ES when they stop producing?

[JAWS]

Got my JAWS today. I am a happy man.

[figuremaster_les]

Most happy day indeed! :D Congrats Jaws!

Gruson, your display is everything I hoped it would be.

Hell of a collectible eh?
SWEET!:D

Wow carbo, #18 , congratulations bro. :D

[figuremaster_les]

Yeah, really!
I'd love to see if a #18 has a better paint than a number 116...
Do you reckon they are painted in order????

Congrats on that though.

Ive heard back that my issue has been sent to Amy, but no word of official replacements yet.

Occ, if you plan to frame these, then the bend in them will be negligible once framed. I would hang on to them and just frame them up.

Your shark looks cool though. :D

OOOpps! :lol

[Toastybuffoon]

Woohoo. I got my exclusive Jaws maquette (#51/250) via Fed-Ex yesterday, then went to the mall today and scored the McFarlane 3D Jaws poster at Spencers! It's been a great week for me! :chew

[Nitro]

Just got this in today....it's going to be placed on a table in the movie room when i get a chance (in front of a framed Jaws movie poster). Bruce is huge and the box it came in...well I don't no where to put it. I'm going to keep it on this table until my wife gets in...I think it'll freak her out once she gets home from work and see's a shark in the living room....:rotfl

I got my Bruce on Monday. I knew this sucker was big but you can't really appreciate the size until you pull it out for yourself. :cool:

[figuremaster_les]

Those all look great! I like seeing the variant paints on each one.
Toastybuffoon, your's looks cool with the 3-D poster there with it.

What are some of your issue numbers? Just curious.

Just for fun, reckon the line "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!" is appropo here....and yes, that looks to be a real white shark....

I hope for that man's sake that that is a very clever photoshop job! :D

You know, I remember my dad and I went Kayaking off of Catalina years back and we learned a few days late a pretty good sized white shark was caught very near to where we were...always spooked me a little.

WOW, what shark

I should have my Jaws late next month when the last FlexPay amount goes through. They forgot my order so it got put back on a later schedule... :monkey2

Just a tad photoshopped

i am not even sue how real this photo is

[figuremaster_les]

Ah! That one makes more sense Jaws. Got the one I posted in an email.
Both look great though, but I think the one you posted looks pretty darned real to me. The shark is a White for sure, wherever it's from. I know that fish too darned well! As for the rest? :dunno

Either way, that is NOT a place I'd wanna be!

[Trevolver]

I showed that photo to my brother who has a real shark phobia....he was slack jawed....it's creepy regardless of its authenticity.

That bro in the kayak was definitely a survivor of the Indianapolis...no life jacket. ;)
