Hey folks,
As some of you are aware, the Iron Man Comiquette has been my Grail since summer 2006.
It was my reason for getting into Sideshow and yet, it always slipped out of my grasp in the final few seconds of any EBay auction.
At some point in the past, I accepted that I would never place my hands on one; that it was fate and so was never meant to be. I garnered some small satisfaction from the Stealth Statue, but the original still sang its Siren song to me. However none appeared on EBay, until tonight.
When I heard Sideshow had gotten the license for the Iron Man movie and that Stan Winston Studios were providing the armor for the film, I hoped that Sideshow would make a light up Maquette of Iron Man, something like the Predator in terms of detail and scale. So far all they've released is a few replica helms and a life size bust which will only ship from the US and therefore isn't practical for us European customers.
So, do I bid for the Iron Man Comiquette on EBay and part with $1000+ of my hard earned cash or do I wait until San Diego Comic Con and hope that Sideshow preview/release something then?
I humbly ask for your advice,
Ken
