How about just display like SS does, simply steel frame, thick plywood in middle, cover it with black cloth. Economic value and strong base

I don't think LSF is any particular scale 
1:3.5 - 1:2.
1:3.5 - 1:2.
Maybe the cinemaquettes. That's about it
from the marvel world i believe its only wolverine and iron man for now.
from other lines, i think there's darth maul and wolf predator but he would look smaller by comparison

Just a little freaky
Has anyone seen specs on total dimensions of the Doom legendary scale figure? I've seen 4 foot total height, but how big of a display stand would he need if an acrylic or glass box was to cover him?
nooB here and haven't gone through all 125 pages yet, so apologize if asked and answered.
thanks

welcome to the crazy world of LSF's! Your collection will never be the same once you've set up one of these bad boys in your display room!!
and crazy paper thin.. **** that

it ain't that bad Bodie...they are pretty heavy pieces, not solid I'll give you that, but still weighty in hand. Unless your Ski who likes to pick up his Collectibles when performing some heavy duty squat lifts 
then being hollow shouldn't matter too much...
Already have IM, but this is 10in taller and this base's width is almost the same as IM's height
The IM LSF is supposedly paper thin, but he's actually got some weight to him, I don't think it's an issue. Avengers Hulk and Rhino comi, now those are light, but I doubt this will be like those. Nobody has complained about the weight of any of the LSF statues in hand that I've read.

So finally read all 126 pgs so far. You guys are nuts, but fun. And yes, I've already ordered mine, it will be the highlight of my collection for sure.
Here's my 2 cents. I've been collecting stuff for a long time. Not just sideshow statues, but some. Yes, I have the Doom PF figure. And some Bowens ... whatever. Yes, I paid more than retail for a few things, less for some others. I don't care. I bought them because I wanted them, and I get enjoyment out of them. I could never get into the "buy 2" mentality, where you're supposed to buy one to open and display out of the package and one to keep pristine so you can sell it for big buxx later. I'm not selling them, is the problem.
A few years back there was a huge boom in comic books. You remember those things right? The colored pages with stories that you read in your tree house in between sips of sugary soda and sticky candy fingers? Yeah, well sometime around 1985 or so the "speculators" started to hone in on comic books as an "investment". And the comic book companies, eager to tap an emerging market, decided to put out a whole bunch of #1 comics ... different covers! Same story! New #1 of same team last year! Yeah right, thanks. I wasn't buying comic books for the investment, I was buying them to read. Because I enjoyed them, they were entertainment.
Art is a little different. I know a lot of artists. If they die and their work is good, maybe ... MAYBE ... it becomes more valuable than what the person originally paid for it, because the artist isn't around to make more. Ok, so a bonus for the buyer. Not so much for the artist cuz he's dead. Assuming the art piece isn't a print, limited or not it's not as valuable as the original piece.
What we buy here from sideshow is a print. But it also is a very specialized piece. It appeals to a very limited audience. It's nothing like mainstream art. It won't ever be sold at Wal Mart, no matter how mass produced it might be, so you can't compare it in terms of production levels to that. It won't be sold at an art gallery either. So it's price point is somewhere in between. The final analysis is, that's it's worth precisely how much someone is willing to pay for it. Now, and for however long you choose to own it.
I don't buy art as an investment. I don't sell the art I have. I buy it because I love it. And I have it because I enjoy it.
It doesn't even matter to me if the price goes up or down. I have a Fantastic Four #5 (the original one) in my comic book collection. You can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. At that time, I still won't care what it's worth.
As to the speculation on the quality of this piece ... well, I haven't seen it in person. But from what I've seen, well it's awesome and I had to have it. That's enough for me. I have seen the quality that Sideshow puts into their pieces as well. Look around the web. Try to find something with as much detail, as much care and accuracy. You will not find it in any production piece. Maybe there's some custom builders out there that come close, but you will pay a premium for those too.
All those number one comic books from the late 80's and 90's that the speculators grabbed up, they lost their value. I gave away hundreds. Even my old comics - really old - are losing value. Marvel has saturated the market with reprints in the form of digital comics and collected editions. Oh well. I enjoyed the story and the art, and that's why I bought them. If you bought them to fund your children's college education, you were buying for the wrong reason.
