Thanks for responding. I think it's neat. After all, being such a fan of your'sall this time (no I am not a cheerleader! *pumping fist*), I can finally let you know how much your site and the posted reviews are appreciated on my end. So much so, it has swayed my judgement on certain items, to the point I either did make the purchase, or decided to ultimately pass on it. It's not always the case, but for most of the time it is. With the exception of the odd piece you like, that would warrant someone to question what's in your food. All I got to say is that you have an extensive repertoire of figures and statues in your collection. One has to ask, is there any limitations to one's collection?
I collect mainly anything that screams quality. Even if I am not a huge fan of the license. Say for example Star Wars. There are some nice items that Master Replicas, Gentle Giant, and Sideshow has put out that I want and have purchased, but could careless for the license all together. Much like the John Wayne here. Never seen any of John's from start to finish. One could assume that would be the basis to fully appreciate a piece like this, but as you had mentioned in your review, for love of the Duke or not, it's probably SideShow's best piece to date. Now that's something I would sink my teeth into. He definitely would make a great conversational piece, and you know you'll bring someone over to your house that will really appreciate him.
