I've said it before, there are basically two things I consider when buying a new collectable.
1) Is it a character that I love?
2) Did MC give it a good review?!
I hadn't seen this review until now so I guess I hate Eli26!
Just read the review and I am worried about the scale.
How do you think it would look with these 3?
It really is a beautiful piece! God, that cape is amazing!!!

I've never had a problem with the scale on any of these, when there's a hunched pose it does seem they are a slightly larger scale so the piece occupies the same volumetric space as the other pieces in the series. But I've yet to find a single one that stands out as being out of place when displayed with the others (well, maybe the animated Dark Knight one...).

Ditto man. His reviews are awesome. Many a times i refer to his review before making any purchase and at year end i check if my favs end up in People/Poppies/MC finalists. This has been a practice am following for the past two years. Thanks Mike

Did you read the Joker graphic novel that he and Brian Azzarello did? That's where the design is from.

I got into 1/6 figure collecting because of Hot Toys' TDK line and I decided to concentrate on Batman figs. But when I checked Mike Crawford's site, I suddenly found myself buying Enterbay's Mr. Bean and after another visit, I bought 3 Sideshow Star Wars figures! And now, I'm planning to buy more from different lines as well.
I guess it was a combination of Hot Toys initially getting me hooked and Mike's great reviews and photos and of course, discovering new figures by regularly visiting Sideshow Freaks. Anyway I'm not complaining, I'm enjoying this hobby. It's encouraging me to earn more (so's to buy more.)

Micheal is the one who finally swayed my decision to dive head first into the 1/6th collection with his sideshow star wars review, been trying to pull out of it but fail miserably
I'm not into statues but I agree with you Dave, Mignola B&W is really a work of art. It's like 2D painting in 3D form...or something like that. If I won a lottery or something, I wouldn't mind getting myself one

His site was indirectly responsible for me buying a Dark Knight Original Costume Batman (thankfully while they were still at retail price - can you believe I payed less for it than I did for v1 Joker?!). That led to three other figures from the line, which then went to 2-in-1 Superman, a couple of HT Marvel figures, the Godfather and a couple from the Indy line. I figure all up, the guy owes me about $1500. I'll take a Western Union or Paypal transfer.

Keep the hate coming people, and let him know what you spent so MWC can reimburse us.

Alot of the stuff I've got has been because of his reviews. Because I often don't have the money around the time pre-orders go up I pick them up when released, and if they get crap reviews then I wont waste the money. Generally if its less then ***1/2, unless its a character or franchise I really care about, then I wont get it because some stuff is really expensive. If I've ever been on the fence about a item then check the reviews of Mr Crawford and Wookster. Theire reviews definitely dont help when trying to limit what I'm wanting. They have alot to answer for lol
All good fun though
If wasnt for his site and reviews, I would probs have bought a few duff items

Nice to see I'm just like a crack dealer...

Not the dealer per se, but you do list some good, affordable dealers on your site. You are more like the junkie that seems to have it all together that makes the lifestyle so appealing...
Even when I disagree with your reviews, the pictures and commentary really are invaluable. I've been able to keep up with collecting by reading your reviews though, and collect vicariously through your site.

Well your recent review (guest reviewer) of the Barbie Mad Hatter made me go out and get it and I have to say I am as happy as a pig in S#it with it. Now isn't it time for you to take a vacation so my wallet and breathe??
