Goodbye LOTR Hello Marvel!!

[Jen]

Well I started my collecting with the intent of sticking with LOTR figures. I've pretty much gotten all the ones I want (the few I would love to have are now out of my price range) and I am satisifed with what I currently have. I highly doubt I will be purchasing any more from this line and even cancelled the Frodo/Gollum diorama because I decided I didn't like the size of it...too small.
Since becoming a member of this board my eyes have been opened wide to the amazing artwork that is the Marvel PFs and LB. So I am jumping ship.
My question to all you Marvel collectors out there...if I can get a Doctor Doom LB (regular) for less than retail, is this a piece I should grab? I know ill Jedi has one and loves it. What say the rest of you ???? I'm tempted.....would love to hear others inputs on what they think of this bust before I buy. THANKS!!!

Honestly Jen, I don't like it. I can't explain it- it just doesn't float my boat. I would save your money for the PF.

Wise words!! I should focus my efforts and save my $$ for the PF....if only a regular would become available for me to purchase from an oh so lovely board member!!!!

save every penny you can and only buy pf's comiquettes and vs dio's
not only are these the best marvel products on the market but they hold thare value and sometimes skyrocket in value.

Yeah they can be so rare those Dooms but you never know just when they'll pop up so you have to be ready.


My exclusive should be here on Tuesday.

Yes, mentor you are teaching me the ways of kollecting and not leading me astray!!!! I am also focusing my efforts on strictly PFs and maquettes....Aside from the Capt. America I ordered, I think I will probably end up focusing on the villians...they are so much more fun!

I have the legendary scale Doom bust and while not as nice as the PF it is still a great piece. I really like the removeable mask and the fact that it is solid and heavy. Plus if you look on ebay, they can be had for around $120.00 for the regular.

 

[Bannister]

Also, if you don't already have one on order get a green Hulk as soon as possible.

 

[nash]

how big are these Legendary Busts? any pics with something to compare the size of it with?

 

[Bannister]

 

[El Roranous]

I always expected it to be much larger. I mean they use the word legendary in the title.

I do like that Green Hulk...but for the moment, I am going to save my $$ in hopes that a regular DOOM might come my way in the near future. If it doesn't then I may just have to grab a green Hulk. I've got the funds for one more big purchase (unfortunately not quite big enough to buy the Doom exclusives going on eBay) this month and I've got to hold out for my grail piece. Of course by next month those Hulks could be going for double the price...but I will take a gamble and hope for the best.

Jen, I will let you know soon. However, if you see a Doom for a good deal, don't hesitate.
