Most all my busts are either prototype samples, or Marvel internal samples. I don't know if it makes them significantly more valuable, but I have seen them go for 1.5-3X "normal" value. To me though it is not about the value of the pieces, but the art. And boy are they art :D

Not a lot to say, but I LOVE mine. Here is a quick pic of him in my Theater.

They told him he was free to do what he wanted (i.e. keep collecting), but he was not welcome to purchase through them anymore due to his treatment of their employee. How is that in anyway undignified? People all love to harp on Bowen for no good reason. His products may cost more that others...

I have many marvel samples. They are samples (duh) that are sent to marvel during the production run (usually the last 3-6 of the run) for their final approval and QC. All SS marvel samples are unnumbered, but come with everything a typical statue would have. The bases are marked with the words...

+1 to endless1 Great seller!

Secured one from a forum member. THANKS ALL!

Given that eBay takes a cut I think $450-500 shipped is fair. Especially given that MAR is taking into account a $750 one that was signed and NOT sold on eBay, but closed as sold (I was trying to get it but the seller sold it locally for less). Taking that out the average drops to ~$470. If you...

^^ Thanks for looking. Don't let P1X4R stop anyone from also looking / offering. I want this piece! :D

Secured one from a forum member. THANKS ALL! Hey All, I figured it was time I posted my request. I have nearly completed my FB collection with everything, but the original FB Hulk. I am looking to get one (with box) for a reasonable price. One just ended on eBay for $450 shipped...

Glad to calm your fears. :1-1: Additionally the paint apps on these pieces is great. I don't have a lot of Sideshow pieces, but these really stand out as excellent. I am sure you will be ecstatic :D

I was hugely worried about breakage of Thor's helmet wings as I bought through a third party. But once I got it, there was nothing to worry about at all. I know it doesn't seem like it would fit, but the wings actually sit vertically in the box. I really can't imagine this piece being damage in...

Haters gonna hate.... <insert one of ten thousand "Haters Gonna Hate" pics>

Don't worry, 350 other people were...:rotfl:lol

I have to say, I got this piece for less than $120 with a broken shield at the Seattle Comicon. Even with the cracked shield this is one of my favorite pieces. My wife glued it back together and repainted the shield so you can't really tell it was ever damaged. I know that this dio probably...

Just got in my #49 and I love it. I don't have a great camera, or I would post pictures asap. I will say that even though we have some great photographers here on the forum, this piece can not be done justice through a computer screen. I recently bought the Thor bust and was blown away. I...
