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:



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



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.

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



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.



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



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



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.. >:(



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



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



Worms eye view...eye popping!!!



I really love how they portrayed Phoenix in this bust..very very sexy!!!

Ghost Rider Movie Maquette SS Exclusive (modern version)



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!



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



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!

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.



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



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.



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



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



Check out the Glider!



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



his pumpkin bomb



from the cloth Goblin hat, to the wrinkles in his face..to the pimples on his nose..the detail on this things is unbelievable!



"I hate spiders!!!"

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...



But this is not the usual arachnid were used to >:(



Negative Zone Spiderman PF Exclusive: Limited to only SEVENTY FIVE pieces!!




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



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.



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



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



"Web ball!!"



"sup gobby?"



"HAHAHAHAHA You've spun your last web insect!!!"



Poor Goblin. He's bug food!

Last but not the least..the statues I've been waiting for so long..which made me hate snow hehehe



152 LBS all together..



Green and Grey Hulks 1/4th Scale Premium Format Figures!



Grey Sideshow Exclusive Limited to only 179 pcs..this baby is #67 ;D





Some box details..

finally, here they are..my new babies hehehe



one word..MONSTROUS!!! 21.5 inches tall..each weighing approximately 50 lbs!!!



Top view..diameter is 20 inches!!! It's gonna be hard displaying these two with my other hulk stats..they just really stand out!!!!



First off, the regular green version. To be honest I like this one better than the Grey simply because the color apps on this piece is soooo good it's almost life like!!



The sculpt of this statue is top notch! the muscles..



..full of detail!!!!



Check out the veins..

IMO the best, Hulk statue around!!!




Look at those wide shoulders!!!



Everytime I look at it..it gives of this vibe..like..."HULK SMASH!!!"



nothing can touch this hulk..absolutely nothing!!!! well maybe the Doom PF..but after that..nothing!!!! "Puny humans!!!" heheheh I'm so high with my Hulk fever right now hehehe

Here comes the Grey monster!!!



Grey skinned..green eyed monster!!!!!




BEAUTIFUL!!!



again the sculpt is just beautiful!!! green or grey it doesnt matter. this hulk rules!!!



Check out his foot!!! This statue can wear my sons shoes!!!!



The cloth pants really compliments the statue. PERFECTION!!!!



Front or back, full of detail and expertly sculpted. add a really good paint application and you got the best Hulk statue in exsistence.



Here's a size comparison pic with the bowens. This thing converted me into a Hulk fanatic! ;D

Thanks for looking guys!!!

Amazing update bro ryan!

ang lupet!!!

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..



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.

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



HULK VS NEGATIVE ZONE SPIDERMAN

Perfect match dont you think so?



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

some additions to my GG Matrix Bust collection..slowly but surely..



The antagonists: Agent Smith,Twin 1 and Twin 2.



Once again perfect likeness!



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



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



Or with their big guns ready to party. ;D

Got my Luke and Yoda Dagobah Training PF Exclusive today as well!



A little something about the piece:




here it is



Not too shabby. ;D



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



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



Here's Luke and the dimunitive Jedi Master



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.."



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



Close up of Luke.. 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.



Close up of Yoda..



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!

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 >:(



One of the top five Hulk statues..DST HULK!!! ;D



A little something about the piece..



Here he is..destroying everything in his path




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



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



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



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



"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.



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