Hello from London!

[Dark_Knight_89]

Hi everybody!

dark_knight_89 here! I have actually been a member of this forum since 2009 (oops) but I have always been a viewer rather than a poster.

So I thought I had better take the plunge and start to take a more active role in the forum!

My real name is Tom, I am 23 years old and live in London, England. I am also a member of statueforum, see-nema, and statuemarvels (with the same username).

I have been a movie and comic book fan all of my life. Ever since I was a young boy I have been fascinated with movies, the way they give us an escape from reality, and the effort and skill that goes into bringing films to life on screen.

I collect lots of movie and comic book memorabilia, from movie posters and exclusive blu-rays, to high-end collectibles, statues and prop replicas. I have many Sideshow Collectibles items, Bowen Designs statues, steelbook blu-rays, and more. I cant get enough!

My favourite movies (in no particular order, except #1)

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. The Departed
3. Tombstone
4. Jaws
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
7. Saving Private Ryan
8. The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
9. Psycho
10. Batman Begins
11. Angels with Dirty Faces
12. Drive
13. Casino Royale (2006)
14. Unforgiven
15. Sin City

I own a few Sideshow Collectibles and Bowen Designs items too;
