Loving the progress Pic's, definitely keep them coming. I really like seeing things like this done. I would love to have that kind of talent

I most certainly will...I love seeing this unfold as well.
To be clear to anyone browsing this thread, I am not performing this custom myself...I hired the services of a talented dude down in Calgary to do this for me. I can't wait to post pics of the finished product.
Not statues, but thought I'd throw these bad boys up here, too. Some of the best of my comic collection:
I love statues, but mainly because I read comics.
Statues are lovely, but these Spider-Man comics, especially older issues at 9.0 and above, are just incredible. And the 1st appearance of Silver Surfer at that grade. To have ASM#1 is awesome, but #14 at 9.0!?!!! Just incredible. And the closest I've gotten to #40 is a t-shirt I have with that image on it. Impressed I am.

I like your setup bro! It looks clean and well spaced out. I usually dont dig all white display cases but the way you put it together made me change my mind on that.

Where you get those cabinets for your graphic novels?

Thanks, man. Comics are my first love collecting wise. I am saving up for an Amazing Fantasy 15 (first appearance of Spider-Man, for those who don't know). It'll take me quite a while before I get there, though (if I stopped spending so much on statues, I'd get there a lot quicker...
)FF48 is first appearance of Galactus, too...love that issue. I have a print of the cover on the wall there...the Galactus Maquette is going right there in front of it, if it ever somes.
Those are actually CGC cases. The comics are professionally graded (the number in the top left is the grade, on a 10 point scale). CGC is pretty much accepted as the standard in the comic collecting biz (although, I'm sure some people will dispute that), so you know what you're getting when you buy it...not so ambiguous (although, they are not perfect, I've heard stories of the same book being resubmitted and receiving a totally different grade the second time). The book is pretty much sealed in there so the grade cannot be affected. It can be removed, but you'd have to try real hard.
Edit: Just realized you might have been talking about the prints on the wall? If so, those are actually prints of the covers, not the actual comics themselves. I got them from pictopia back in the day, but I think they went out of business. But, you can check out allposters.com (or .ca depending on where you live). They have tons of Marvel prints you can buy, and they do cheap framing. I have never bought from them, but it looks similar to what pictopia was.
Thanks, my man. I think the white goes nicely with the paint colour myself.
They are the Expedit units from Ikea. Fairly cheap and easy to put together...and most PF's fit nicely on top.

One more vintage comic I forgot to post earlier...Daredevil 131, first appearance of Bullseye!! This one is awfully tough to find in 9.8 grade.
And another...New Mutants 98, first appearance of Deadpool.

Green Lantern PF arrived today (errr...yesterday, it's 2:40 in the morning). I love this piece. A lot of people complained about the shiny paint...I think it looks great. I love the light-up feature and the EX hand is amazing. This is a really great piece.
Here are some pics:

Great score on GL Bmutha. I've got the Reg ordered with a UK reseller so I've still got a long wait, especially with Reg being delayed.

You'll love it. It's a great piece. I really like the glossy paint on the suit, and the light-up feature is outstanding.
