After a week of bad weather, the sky finally cleared and all the ice melted here in WA State. Most of my boxes arrived..2-3 days late but they're in perfect condition at least. >:(

Here are some of my new acquisitions: wink.gif

My replacement Beauty and the Beast Statue finally arrived. The first one arrived with a broken base and a completely different version (non glittery)

user posted image

This piece is just beautiful! The base is very elegant. The statue's are about 24 inches tall and are removable from its stand. Both can be displayed without the base.

A very nice representation of one my most fave disney stories. smile.gif

That's it for Disney onwards to my lone DC haul:

user posted imageuser posted image

Finally got to update my WODC bust line. The bust is supposedly based on this sketch by Adam Hughes. Somehow I like the sketch better.

user posted imageuser posted image

The bust works though..very sexy..and busty hehehe

user posted imageuser posted image

The paint applications is again not that good..I saw some bubbles on some parts. It's still an ok bust IMO.

user posted imageuser posted image

I'm not that familiar with Power Girls personality but this bust shows a sort of "fun" side of the heroine.

Now w/o further ado..here are my Marvel hauls.. >:(

user posted imageuser posted image

I dont really collect marvel busts but with this phoenix, I'll make an exception hehehe..for obvious reasons.

user posted imageuser posted image

When I saw this baby posted in the SYLH thread I knew I just had to get her.

Ghost Rider Movie Maquette SS Exclusive (modern version)

user posted imageuser posted image

I decided to get this when I saw pics from other owners but I never expected for this statue to be MEGA NICE in person!!! Believe me! ohmy.gif

user posted image

The exclusive version comes with a unique base...surrounded by fire! There's only 350 pcs of these babies and most have damaged bases..got lucky to have a perfect one. This is number #308

user posted image

Simply beautiful piece! The sculpt is awesome! Probably the best GR statue to date..well maybe next to the Wester Version which should arrive tomorrow with the rest of my stuff.

"I'm the only who can walk both worlds!! I am..the Ghost Rider!!" in cinemas Feb 2007! biggrin.gif

Since I got the Spidey SS PF I knew someday I would get this..and now it's sold out...my wait list panned out.

user posted imageuser posted image

I just love the effort sideshow puts into their boxes..the details..origins of the characters etc..

user posted imageuser posted image

Green Goblin PF!!!!! >:( I remember saying to my self that I wouldnt get this character when I saw it at Maxiworks before..now its all sold out hehehe. Galing ng marketing strategy of sideshow. Release Spidey now everyone wants one hehehe.

user posted imageuser posted image

The usage of mixed media if perfect..to the leather, polystone, metal, plastic..the best ingredient to make the perfect Goblin PF.

user posted imageuser posted image

Check out the gloves and the boots..this statue will definitely stand out in anyones collection!!

user posted imageuser posted image

Check out the Glider!

user posted image

To think this is one of sideshows first PF's for marvel.

Darth Ryan- 01-19-2007
Since I got Mr. Osborn..I cant let this lunatic fly around my room without someone to protect me and my family hehehe so I got his nemesis...

user posted image

As he appeared in that fantastic four issue where spidey follows them into the the negative zone.

user posted imageuser posted image

Basically the same as the spidey pf but with different colors..it also comes with an exclusive Rock base but that'll just follow by the end of the month.

user posted imageuser posted image

I find this piece so cool coz this is the first time I saw this costume..that and because I'm a variant nut hehehe biggrin.gif

user posted imageuser posted image

this is one statue you really gotta admire..no matter what color it comes in it still stands out..the sculpt and the mixture of cloth is really good..although I prefer spidey to be all polystone..this still works for me ;D

Darth Ryan- 01-21-2007
Thanks a truck load Kingpin,Carthut and Maximuslucas for the compliments!!! Always appreciated!

Just got some of my other shipments in today and I'm kinda dissapointed because some of my most awaited arrived with some minor damage..

user posted image

No biggie..coz I have them back in their shipping cartons ready for replacement. I just hope that sideshow doesnt take too long..and of course I'm hoping that they'd send me perfect piece with low run numbers hehehe. biggrin.gif

Before anything just thought I'd play with my statues a bit..

HULK VS NEGATIVE ZONE SPIDERMAN ohmy.gif

Perfect match dont you think so?

"Puny insect!!! Hulk SMASH annoying spider!!! GRAHHHH"

The new Elrond Bust better look like this coz seeing the prototype pics..it kinda looks bad.

user posted image

The Twins..comes with two arms..For posing with their razors at the ready..

user posted image

Or with their big guns ready to party. ;D


Darth Ryan- 01-21-2007
Got my Luke and Yoda Dagobah Training PF Exclusive today as well! smile.gif

user posted image

A little something about the piece:

user posted image
user posted image

here it is smile.gif

user posted imageuser posted image

Not too shabby. ;D

user posted imageuser posted image

Some different angle pics..showing off its rich detail.

user posted image

The base..it doesnt show in the pic but in person you'd think it's actually muddy or damp. My son looked at it and asked "daddy is the paint dry? it looks wet" hehehe so cute biggrin.gif

user posted image

Here's Luke and the dimunitive Jedi Master

user posted imageuser posted image

check out the shirt..made to look dirty and sweaty as if Luke was really exhausted and perspiring from the rigorous training he's enduring to become the Jedi Master he's destined to be.

"Feel the Force around you.."

user posted image

Here's the exclusive figure. Luke's decapitated head in a Vader helmet...it's ok if you ask me. smile.gif

user posted image

Close up of Luke.. smile.gif Sculpt and detail I give it a 5. Likeness..well Gentle Giant will always win that area..although I have to say there's not a single Luke statue or bust that really captures Mark Hamills face.

user posted image

Close up of Yoda.. smile.gif

user posted image

Here's a size comparison pic..with my favorite statue GR!

Ok in conclusion:

Paint 5/5, Costume 5/5, detail 5/5 Pose 3/5..just like my wife said "it kinda looks gay", exclusive figure 4/5..I hoped for an R2-D2 extra fig to go with this..could've been a perfect companion to this statue. Over all I give this statue a 4/5. Of course I needed this piece to complete my Luke set..it is inevitable that Sideshow will release a third and ultimate Luke statue...as Jedi Knight! ohmy.gif


Darth Ryan- 01-21-2007
Next up are my Marvel hauls: ;D

Also slowly but surely I am completing my Hulk FS stat collection..here's another one to add to the Green monster squad hehehe >:(

user posted image
user posted image

An impressive statue to say the least..a real classic

user posted imageuser posted image

I love the pose on this statue...I believe this is the first Hulk statue to have this pose..next is the Attakus version.

user posted image

"Gamma Crusher!!!" (FYI to those who dont know..that's one the special moves of the Hulk in Marvel vs Capcom hehehe.)

user posted imageuser posted image

To be honest I find the head on this hulk to be a bit cartoony.

user posted imageuser posted image

"Don't make me hungry. You wouldnt like me when I'm hungry!!!" Ooops wrong quote. That's me pala hehehe. I get cranky when I'm gutom hehehe. biggrin.gif

Here's my Hulk shrine for now. Still waiting for my other Hulks to arrive. Be updating this soon.
