Captain A Premium Format

I haven't heard about a lot of problems with the Hulk Coms either

The original one or the repaints? Look I'm all up for Sideshow to step up their QC but lately, it left far below satisfactory.

I love the green Com but the paint apps on that piece were sub par IMHO. The sculpt looks great though.

Skaar, Colossus and Joker didn't seem to have issues, but I agree there are still too many that do(especially the female characters).

I have to agree. It's almost odd how SSC has us in a panic when it comes to QC on most of their female statues.

This is totally true, but most of their newer costumes have been some how incorporated parts of he movie costumes. Caps new costume in the comics has a lot of the TFA costume in it. Spiderman on the other hand has to be a classic... That is just the way t is.

It can be Classic Spidey for a new 1/4 and as long as the pose is different owners of the old one will be ok. I have the Spidey Com and even still when a new 1/4 pops up I'll buy it as long as it's different. It can also be the same costume, but different artistic style.

Not to piss on everyone's koolaid.

Quality control.

True, a potential problem.

A lot of the new statues look awesome and often have more detail, though they may not be as solid.

I will say that if a new COMIC Modern Thor, Cap, and Spidey come out and they look awesome I will NEVER go back to try and pick up the older versions. Now that is MY loss in terms of having the old school "grails", but seeing as I am a detail lover (Prefer the Hulk Maq over the PF ANYDAY) that is FINE by me.

It just depends on execution. If the revisit is solid it's not as much reason to go back for the old one unless the new one has quality issues, or you prefer the original's sculpt. If a new Cap came out, modern or classic, and it turned out decent I wouldn't think about the old one as great as it is. Maybe it won't be as great, but it'd still be a SSC 1/4 Cap.

Have you seen the new videos of the HulK Maq? The base is fantastic, teeth are amazing, and you can EVEN see his TONGUE behind his teeth.

You can also see the Thing's tongue behind his teeth. I mean the EX version, of course. It isn't noticeable unless you look very closely, but that makes it more of a nice detail.

Small details can be AWESOME details!!!

Anyone tell me what someone can realistic and fairly expect to pay for a Captian America PF these days? Thanks.

Id say around the $800 mark for the regular and $1000+ for the Ex.

Well just got Wolverine at the beginning of the month & I just managed secure Thor for the end of this month. This is my next Grail piece which I'm going to try & get. After that the only Grail left to buy is Spidey

Best of luck, once you've acquired your grails everything else feels like Sunday morning.

Just for the sake of it...

Amazing shots, I'm surprised SS still have not released a new Captain A premium format.

Cheers xyx. Yeah I know what your saying. Makes my PO's feel cheap

Can't believe I managed to get 2 Grails so quickly though. My little boy is going to be so excited when this one turns up. He loves Thor

Thanks! They'll have a hard time beating this ol' thing.

I have a few Marvel pieces. I'm also getting Batman and Superman PF. So I'll have to let you down on that one.

Love the pic. Law books in the background ftw.

Most of the books are actually on literature and stuff.

Ha same here they both look epic, hopefully Superman will be up for PO soon. You have a great collection though Darth. I had a look through your SYS thread

Thanks a lot.

I have sold some stuff, though. Not due to lack of interest though. Just a matter of prioritizing.

Silver Surfer, Lara and Indy are gone. So is Asajj Ventress, actually.
