I've been collecting for a long time. Moderation really is the key. I go hot and cold, and will stop collecting for a year or two at a time, only to come back later with a renewed interest and passion for the hobby. While I collect, I try to remain selective, and when it's time for a break I...

I prefer the original because I think the skin tone is a nice fit with Harley and the Joker, and it reflects more of the classic Ivy aesthetic. That said, the green one really pops, and depending on in-hand pics, I may very well own both. For me, it's still one of Sideshow's best female sculpts...

It's funny how you word this in such a way where you imply that people who like mixed media statues actually want dolls, not statues. The fact is, there are mixed media pieces that look amazing, and fully sculpted pieces with dull, flat, plastic-looking paint jobs that make it look like a...

Not only that - Supes and Batman have enormous sweeping capes that add to their hefty appearance, not to mention that their body sculpts have mixed media on top of them which is probably adding somewhat to their bulk. Oh, and GL is lunging forward which doesn't help the illusion. So yeah, GL is...

On the other forum, Igo said that the idea was to do a "tiered" set for the Justice League, where the trinity are on higher bases, and GL, Flash, Aquaman, etc... will be of a similar stature. With so many characters to do and with DC comic pieces trickling out at about 3 a year, I wouldn't hold...

I know GL is such a travesty on the internets, but I can live with mine.

I seriously doubt that they'll give us two of the same head. It's way more likely that the hair piece will plug in at the back of the head.

I think you're right. From a business perspective, it doesn't really make sense to make one version of a statue much, much better than another version when you're charging the same price for both. I definitely think international collectors are part of the reason, but not the sole reason; it's...

Personally, I don't have a problem with SS putting a large edition size on a piece and essentially making them to order, until they complete the run. But I don't think they should mark a piece as "sold out", wait until the prices increases on the secondary market, then put the piece back in...

Bingo. And I'm positive this is what's happening with the regulars as well.

If you look at the video that was posted, you can see that the armor is a different texture. You can see it in this pic too. I would really hold out judgment until you see it in person; lighting makes all the difference in the world, and I have yet to see anyone post in-hand pics that are as...

My attempt at a group shot using a potato:

On the internet, there is a direct correlation between the coherence of an argument, and the propensity with which that argument will be glossed over and diminished by the people against whom the argument is directed. So I hope you get a kick out of writing, because the logical quality of posts...

I agree with you; the critiques are valid, which I said twice already. But the heated debate that followed from the critique is funny. I find humor in people insulting each other over nipples on a comic book statue.

I understand, but I still think it's funny. It's not the critique itself, but the subsequent debate that I find silly. That said, far be it from me to interfere with such fascinating discourse.

Umm, all I said was it's kinda silly that this debate is happening now, when pics of this statue have been out for a year. That's it. I made no judgment on the validity of the complaints either way, and I made it clear that I understood the criticism.

The nipples certainly weren't necessary, and I can understand why some people don't like them or find them ridiculous. That said, this piece has been up for order for more than a year, nips and all, so it's kind of silly to be having this debate now, when people are coming to the thread because...

If people buy what they like, solely because that's what they like, then more power to them. If people buy stuff as speculators, hoping to get in on the ground floor of something that ends up appreciating in value significantly, then more power to them. What makes me crazy is people buying...

I never understood the rage over Rogue's backside because the tail on the production piece looked perfectly fine. The paint, however, was not very good. And while the sculpt was generally excellent, the position of her head makes her look like she's staring off into space, and it's just a little...

:rotfl Love it. But to be fair, we're pretty much children buying toys; they're just bigger, more expensive toys.
