[Bum]

[Eli26]

I am so tempted to get MJ.

What should I do guys? Should I go for it?!

 

[customizerwannabe]

We had this discussion last night. Pony up the dough cheap cheeze and order it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You WILL be sorry if you don't.

What does your head tell you?
What does your heart tell you?
What does your friend tell you?

If any of these said "BUY IT", you should not deny them this.
It will haunt you, eat at you, curse you for not doing so.

do it.
DO it.
DO IT!
buy. it. now!

or no soup for you.

besides... this MJ comiquette,... it's Niiiiiice! High five!

 

[Eli26]

My friend *wink wink* likes it a lot... can't believe I just said that.

Man, does it make us all sad that we lust over a piece of polystone like we are? Most of us aren't even really big MJ fans. We're just buying it for the raunchy pose... sometimes I worry about this group.

I wonder if Jen shares our feelings or if she is ripping a hole in Hulk's pants in the the butt area as I type this...

 

[Eli26]

The ES on this is 900. Wow! That is high for an exclusive.

 

[Seretur]

You're right, omg!

They announced the ES just now.

Of course, it's perfectly in line with the White Queen... they'll all follow the 900/2000 ES, most probably.

 

[Karma]

thought it would be 900

Order it. If you don't have the cash when the pre-authorization email comes up THEN cancel.

You can apply this to anything you are in the fence about since IT COSTS NOTHING TO CANCEL

She's on Low Quantity Alert about 22 hours after the preorder started...

Nice! It took the Emma exclusive a few days to sell out, if faulty memory serves.

By the time we get to the final few statues in this line, Emma and MJ will be veritable grails. So, y'know, act now.

See what happens when the customer is told what to expect and how often to expect it? The AH! comiquette line is not only the sexiest ever, it's the best defined ever -- that is why I collect it, and that is why it'll rule.

We need to get off the term "grail"

Everyone seems to be just waiting for the next popular Marvel piece but that doesn't make them grails.

If you say so. I think the line carries the AH! name but the sculpts, while good in their own right, DO NOT jump at you with the AH! look. The Michael Turner pieces (Supergirl, Withchblade, etc.) have that Turner feel to them. The eyes sell the artist rendition for those. These AH! pieces are amazing but I would not be honest with myself if I said that it was a statue that truly represented the artist style.

The artwork is better than the sculpts and I wish the statues were more faithful to it. Should we blame the final artwork being created after the fact? nah, that's not the reason why it doesn't match since they do have a sketch to go by with a certain "look". Emma is close enough but the face it's not AH! MJ is a complete interpretation of what the artwork would have been.

 

[Seretur]

I see your points, SLF -- by "defined" I just meant that we knew from day one how many pieces there will be in this line, and we could plan accordingly. Six pieces. Released in comfortable increments. That's all. Not necessarily dead-on interpretations of Adam's style of drawing women (especially their faces), but still close enough for comfort, as both the released pieces have been small masterpieces of sculpting the female form.

This harks backs to the early days of the SS/W line: every three months, we knew how many busts/helms/statues we could get, and we could pick and choose, or collect them all. The product was there, and we, consumers, had the upper hand. But ever since that damned Gollum DVD came out, and the SS/W line caught on fire, the consumer was fed a trickle of new product, erratically, and not one Sideshow line was blessed with this kind of pre-defined release pattern again... until the AH! comiquettes.

Right now, I don't know how many LOTR and SW PFs, 12" figures, dioramas, or busts there will be. And in some cases I don't know if there will even be any more of them. This bugs me, as I love getting behind a line of product and supporting it wholeheartedly. Right now, I'm doing it with the SW diorama line... and with the AH! line.

In the first instance, I don't care how many pieces are ultimately released. Each is a stand-alone work of art. In the latter instance, it's just $850 spread over a few years, spent towards high-class pop-culture erotica that will speak volumes about my collecting habit. And I'm cool with that.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

all i know is that i got my order in for the exclusive

 

[Boba Fett]

Easy pass. I'll take a superhero instead like Emma or Black Cat.

 

[Jen]

Well MJ looks nice....better than the White Queen imo....but really all I want are the lithographs....looks like I'll be left once again to fend for myself on the dreaded eBay.....

 

[JABBATHERIDGE]

So MJ is bent over with her underwear showing and doing the washing at the same time.

How sexist is that?

Better not show it to the g/f, she'd saying it was "perpetuating a sexist male stereotype of female oppression......."

But I'd just tell her to shut up and make my dinner

I can see how it borders sexist. Then again, if we see a statue of a superhero armed with hammer and nails, how come men don't say that's sexist??

 

[Ryanfromindiana]

Funny you said that...I had just mentioned wanting a PF with a hammer! I'm glad to see these are getting snapped up quickly. I have a feeling Mr. Hughes frequent visits to the boards couldn't have hurt It's a great looking statue so hurry or you'll be sooorrry later!
