I recently saw the BIB and I.S. in person and was definitely impressed. I didn't think either looked like a big deal in any of the pictures I had seen, but they were much more impressive in person. These two, and the Abomination statue, are excellent examples of how much better some statues look in person, regardless of how good the photos are. Photos never capture the size, finish and overall presence of statues nearly as well as the naked eye. If they had been exclusive versions, I probably would have bought at least one on the spot. Mind you, there is no exclusive for the BIB, so I still might get that one.
