Well guys, it took over 2 years and many sleepless nights
but finally I have found my grail
I think some of you may know that I've been searching for the Lord of Darkness 1:1 Bust well it's arrived safe and sound and it is everything that I hoped it would be and more...
Like the Dr. Doom PF, it was a piece that I never thought I'd ever get the chance of owning and for those who have those rare pieces that they are still after, never give up cos in the end a window of opportunity always comes along. I fell in love with this bust ever since I was introduced to Sideshow back in 2012 and like most of all the old school grails, I was always going to play catch up to own my favourites. The Lord of Darkness Bust was the last on my wanted list of grails and I was beginning to give up hope as the ones that came up on ebay were at ridiculously high prices and also the chances of receiving one in brand new condition was proving to be an impossible task.
Well, a few weeks ago I managed to secure a great deal - at least at a cheaper price than I've seen them sell for
plus I managed to get one in brand new and undisplayed condition
So the bust arrived yesterday and what can I say? The reports I'd heard that this was one of Sideshows best ever busts were proven to be correct...it is a phen-omenal piece!!!!
from the incredible paint apps, shading, detailing of the mouth, realistic eyes to the incredible size of his two horns which are fit comfortably in the two slots at each end of the head....simply WOW!!!
The film Legend has always been among one of my favourite fantasy movies and so purchasing the Lord of Darkness Premium Format early on was a no brainer...however, the lifesize bust was always the pinnacle and I just knew that I had to have it
The actual Lord of Darkness character means as much to me as say Vader did when watching Star Wars as a child or even Iron Man in the latest trilogy of Marvel movies, hence why it was so important that I never gave up the hope. He depicts the classic demonic figure, that in my opinion, has not been portrayed better in any movie I've seen since...
So Ladies and Gentleman, I give to you Sideshow Collectibles Lord of Darkness 1:1 Lifesize Bust ES 238/250
Thanks for Looking
Plus, as a bonus...here is a really quick, rough and ready YT vid of it too
