Sabretooth Vs Wolverine or HULK Comiquette???

[WolverineUK]

Hi QUESTION - I am completely tied and can't decide which statue to get I'm looking for opinions - So should I go for The Hulk Comiquette OR Sabretooth vs Wolverine diorama??????? - Really can't decide, all opinions welcome - Thanks!

For me sideshow Dio's are hit or miss and the wolvie v sabertooth dio is definite a hit. I guess the hard part is trying to find a legitimate one

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

which character are you a fan of more?

 

[WolverineUK]

I guess I'd have to say wolverine and the diorama really reminds me of my teenagehood comics - I'm swaying towards the diorama, someone in the States is selling one for $600 so would have to have it shipped as there are none in the uk. Are there a lot of fakes out there? Is there anyway of being sure that he's not sending me a knock off?
Thanks for the reply

 

[Captain Spidey]

Def Wolverine VS Sabretooth. Waaaay better.

 

[WolverineUK]

Cool thanks for that, I'm heading for the diorama now, just need to be sure its genuine, I have asked the guy to send me photos of the box and the base of the piece hopefully that will be enough? You just can't get the statues in the UK

 

[the Doctor]

i had the exclusive wolv vs saber and im in blighty...you can get anything in the uk so long as you order it from sideshow.

a collector from turkey bought ages ago or i'd let you have it for a price

i'd go for hulk because it is a very impressive size and pose but whatever you decide good luck with your purchase

 

[WolverineUK]

Thanks for that Doctor but Sideshow are sold out. Can I ask what you sold yours for? I've made an offer for £350 on one that is up for around £367 its not the exclusive tho.

yep the wolvey dio was the very first vs piece sideshow produced and i snapped the ex up must be 3-4 years ago now.

i think i got around £350 for it 2 years back and have not kept up with secondary values but your offer sounds right

dont forget hulk commiquette is outstanding as well and youshould get it before it becomes scarce

 

[WolverineUK]

Yeah, problem is that it is absolutely massive and I don't have anything that big yet, have quite a few bowens and hard hero, and have hulk vs silver surfer dio and daredevil bust from sideshow - saw the hulk comiquette for £379 on play.com with free postage but think I've got my heart set on the wolverine dio now.

 

[WolverineUK]

Oh plus the Hulk one is hollow and people have said that his head is a bit small, which put me off the Colossus statue too.

play's price is a rip off,i got the reg hulk from SS and with shipping import duties came to around £280..

we all have our own tastes but if i had the choice again it would be hulk and i can never see myself selling him even if his value skyrockets

I have both of these and the Wolvie vs. Sab's is one of those statues that have stood the test of time. The Hulk comiquette just came out and a little easier to find around. The way that I hunt is for the oldest stuff first and the new is easy to snap up when you're ready to purchase.

 

[WolverineUK]

Good advice IronLungs thanks for that, I must admit some of the fun is in the hunt. And Doctor £280! really, what about shipping and tax etc. on the sideshow site hulk is on the waiting list and is costing about £220 I'm assuming shipping is about £50 and then have to pay the tax on it which could be up to £50 too?

 

[c11098]

I think I will stick with the one that is harder to find on ebay.

 

[quadcent]

i've got both and i would say the vs dio is a classic and getting harder and harder to get, so i'd go with the dio EX. of course

 

[WolverineUK]

Thanks for that guys - just bought the vs Dio Yes! Can't wait to get it!

Sideshow's shipping rates to the UK are incredibly low; you won't even pay $50, let alone £50. And the customs charge will be no more than £40, either. SSC ship their statues as art, not merchandise, which keeps the VAT down.

 

[WolverineUK]

Ah ok thanks for that - I'll know for the future. That's really helpful, thank you.

No problem, mate. Always good to help out a fellow Brit. I was amazed when I first ordered from Sideshow directly; I was expecting a giant customs bill and actually ended up saving over £100.

For example, Play are selling the regular She-Hulk PF for £400. The EX, direct from Sideshow, including shipping and VAT, doesn't even come to £250. That's a hell of a saving.

Oh, and congrats on your Wolvie vs. Sabretooth diorama purchase. That's a really nice piece to own.
