I can't believe I am doing this.

[Eli26]

I rag people for doing this, and now I am doing the same.

Anyway... questions:

I have three of these items on order, but realistically I can only get two of the three items on this list.

In what order of importance would you list these items?

I love all three items very much so this makes this a difficult decision for me.

Iron Man 1:1 bust, Thor PF, and Red Skull PF.

 

[KitFisto]

I personally like PF's better than 1:1 busts. That's just me though.

 

[FQRizzo]

IMO


1) Thor PF
2) Iron Man Bust
3) Red Skull PF


If you have the Cap PF:

1) Thor PF
2) Red Skull PF
3) Iron Man Bust

That's cool.

3) Iron Man Bust

I do have the Cap PF.. man, thanks for making this more difficult. lol

Iron Man 1:1
Skull PF
Thor PF

If you don't get the Iron Man bust you will probably hang yourself a year after it comes out. Skull belongs with Cap. Thor is a bit fruity, but I'm gettin all 3 so,

 

[insomniac]

If you collect busts you should go with Thor and Iron Man.

 

[SquiderM3]

Eli, let the Red Skull go. I guarantee the other two will be more impressive and down the road, more valuable. All the 1:1's ever released sell for crazy money in a couple of years.

 

[Amanaman]

I'll echo the same.. Thor or Iron Man. It really depends on your taste, but in strict terms of which one will be harder to find later on, it's either of those two, I think.

I do have the Cap PF exclusive and the Arnold T-800 1:1 bust.

But I also love that Thor PF, and I asked SideShow to make one for a year now. It is publicly known on these forums that I always wanted a Thor PF.

But I can only have two of the three. Keep em' coming buds. Love the input.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Personally of the 3 you mention, the only one I would consider getting is the Iron Man 1:1

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

Thor and Red Skull are keepers (and cheaper) than IM bust.

YEP...this is the way to go bro

 

[Amanaman]

A thing about PFs and statues, if you're not happy with the pose or a detail, be honest with yourself that you can live without the statue. It sucks to be reminded of a nagging detail. Don't just get it for being your favorite character.

 

[IronFingaz]

Is the Thor and Red Skull Exclusive? If they are, i would keep those two and get Iron Man later. Maybe on Flex-Pay. If they're reg., i would keep Red Skull and Iron Man. Then get Thor later before he starts to become more popular.

 

[Amir]

If you have the exclusives on order, keep the Thor, Skull PF's and you will be easily able to pick up the IM bust later. Open edition = a lot of product on the market that will just sit there because the hype of the movie has died down.

That might not be the case. Sometimes open editions are much more rare and much more expensive to grab after release. Take for example... the clean Endo Head Sideshow released. When it came out, most arrived damaged, as might be the case with the Iron Man bust knowing Sideshow's history with Iron Man products. Now that same clean endo skull goes for about a grand on ebay. That too was produced in association with Stan Winston studios as well as other bust that haven risen in value.


However, in this instance I would strongly suggest getting them all. Sell something or do what you have to. All 3 of these pieces if they come out looking nearly as good as their prototypes will be highly sought after. Better to not take the chance and get them for retail is my motto.

 

[Mesa]

86 the IM bust. Get the LSB instead. IMO, SW IM bust is overpriced and will be available at retail for at least 6 more months. Thor and Red Skull will not, both sold out at most places, in addition to SS. Shoot, if you have to, get the IM bust off Ebay with the LIVE cashback promo during a peak time.

A calculated throw of poo is thrown up in the air, downing Bodie's bad advice.

 

[Eli26]

I can get the Iron Man bust for 700 flat fee. Taxes in.. no shipping charges.. even at a reduced cost of 500 online (which won't happen), that IM bust would cost me 700+ after shipping and duties. Thus why I came up with this thread, because I found a local SideShow distributer in my city.

Just some added information for you guys to work with.
