HarveySwick Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm not actually at SDCC, just gathering other people's pics. Wish I was there. You big Phony! I was telling Awax to go look over by the Sideshow booth and see if you were over there to say When did I say I was there? All I said was I'd post pics as they surfaced because I don't expect that anyone at SDCC will take the time to post here about Sideshow's booth.

HarveySwick Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've already pre-ordered the Daredevil. I want to order the Doctor Doom and Boba Fett. The more I see these pics, the more and more I want. I'm worried Kevin's statement re: "once you buy one, you'll want more and more".... even that Catwoman statue looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think it's bad now, wait until you start getting them in-hand. Most statue collectors start out just wanting one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think it's bad now, wait until you start getting them in-hand. Most statue collectors start out just wanting one or two. This is the truth. And once you get into PF's specifically, everything else pales in comparison. I used to be a HUGE Bowen collector. I was an early adopter of his statues, followed him when he got into mini-busts, joined the original Collector Club, etc. HUGE fan. And I still think he does beautiful work. But once I started getting Sideshow PF's, I had to sell the Bowen stuff off. It just didn't "fit" anymore. So far from what I've seen I'll just be adding Batgirl to my list, maybe Power Girl. I'm trying to stick to DC Bat Family gals, but some of the others are irresistible. I'm still super psyched about my Hellboy Exclusive coming in September.

Although they appear expensive, when you've got a good one in-hand, it feels like you bought an art piece, not a manufactured collectible. And when compared to other scales and manufacturers (particularly Bowen) you pay more, but you get a lot more bang for your buck as well. Even people who know nothing of this hobby or these characters can appreciate them. I had a huge smaller-scale collection from 2002 to around 2006; amassed over 100 pieces, so I did like them a lot. But it's a different hobby entirely now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madness Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Batgirl is the only one that interests me. That Daredevil is too nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psithyrus Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That Daredevil looks fantastic, and I like the Doom and Thor. I'm thinking Batgirl and Powergirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antpark Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I knew I shouldn't have looked at those Hi-Res images. Looks like I'll be in line to order Batgirl too I thought the Wonder Woman looked much better in the pictures from the Con display than what they had on their site. It's not my thing, but those Court of the Dead pieces look really great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think your best bet is to buy the characters that you love the most, if you bought everything that looked nice, you'd be bankrupt. Sure Lobo looks amazing but I'm not a fan of his... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The problem I'm going to run into is space to display them. Even if I wanted to buy a bunch of them, it's not like I have several wings to my small starter home! I can just see the reaction on the part of the missus when I try to convince her that Boba Fett would look perfect on her dresser. So, that more than anything would be what would hold me back from really diving in. Someday when I have a mancave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy them and worry about displaying them later You'd actually need a good sized bookshelf. Can always install sturdy wall shelfs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
