If they come out 80% like the prototype they will be banking. sadly it will be very very hard to get them here in the US.

Their 1/2 Iron Patriot, amazing spiderman final product are better than prototype. Quality is quite promising.

If you willing to spare 2K for IA 1/2, then u could get it. The killing part is shipping fee

There's no doubt XM is impacting them already. Where do you live btw?

I am currently at Indonesia

not just xm, if bw is any indication of quality for gg's marvel 1/4 lineup, i will be buying up a lot of them too, also few pieces of arh i like, and pretty much everything from pcs(except the master of universe stuff). So have to spend my funds wisely, the days of blindly ordering everything sideshow puts up is long gone. I just checked my preorder, my last one is the thor frogs, before that is in july for the hulk pf ex. That's it.

Still look at my starcraft marine statue from sideshow quite often - the first ever statue i bought and the reason i got into collecting. Cant help but feel sad in term of how far sideshow has fallen, not just at the product level but as a company. The marine was a piece of art, nowadays all we get is crap after crap from sideshow, on top of their games with edition size and reissues, also constantly trying to squeezes a few extra coins from their customer base with the price increases.

I might still pickup a few pieces off ebay once the price is cheap enough (got the stormtrooper pf for $230 this weekend), other than that i don't see myself ordering much anymore from them...just exhausted dealing with all the **** they give to their customers.

The Starcraft marine is amazing. I kept looking at the JIm Raynor figure but couldn't pull the trigger. Couldn't spend $450 or so on 1:6 Figures. You are right, don't forget Prime1, they are making amazing quality statue. The paint work on Prime, so many metallic color and they pulled it off.

The prime 1 statues are crazy good also. Sideshow needs to wake the F up.

Too late. SS is like the old great NBA player that is in their 38year old era, becoming slow and lazy. Not as hungry and creative as these new companies (Players).

Stop moaning! Be thankful you're not European. Everything needs to be imported, Sideshow, XM, PCS, IA, Prime...

 

[spawn10459]

Wait doesn't XM need to be imported into the US

Out of the two pieces I'm interested in atm it's quite worrying that this is bigger/taller than 'Zilla

Yeah, what the hell?!? I enjoy the height on some of these figs by SS, but some are crazy stupid in height. I don't understand why Vampirella is 25 inches! That's an unnecessary 4 inches for the least.

yea, they put these dumb little pegs under some of their statues for no freakin reason. They probably think that justifies it being $400

I was thinking, that honestly, that is what they are doing.

Yup, easiest way to explain hike in price. Make the base increase by 1 inch per year. 5 more years, DC Pf bases and the statue will be LSF height probably

Plus the hand in pose of Sinestro. That will do it
