I'll hail him a taxi to the airport if it gets him here sooner

Well said.

I'm hoping this is everything is supposed to be, and at 30lbs it's definitely heftly. I'm assuming the base will be like a rock.
Don't mind the logo alteration so much I just really want it to turn out great once I get it in hand.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

That's why BATMAN, and WOlf predator LSF. Are my last. This hobby is all watered down now. Sooo many new people in it now that they forgot what it meant to collect. The ES are just a joke how high they are. The prices are literally insane for a painted "stone". And most of all the quality. They don't make the random pieces anymore that nobody thought they would make. (To surprise cult fans) I am glad I collected and got everything I did from back in the day when it was better. Man I miss those preorder days of waiting to click buy it and hoping you got one in time. There are 2 things that I will still look for after my last purchases. Either a MICHAEL MYERS PF OR ANY TMNT STATUES. Which both ate unlikely since there not Star Wars or marvel/dc. Good luck and hopefully you get back on your feet to collect what you love.

I understand that people have different reasons for collecting but for me this isn't about how rare something is or 'the thrill of the hunt'. I have an obsession with comics and the characters that dwell in that world. Of my favorite characters i've read everything i can get my hands on, watched everything they've been in and bought countless items with them emblazened on it. This is why i don't call this a hobby, for me a hobby is something to waste time, this is my passion outside of art. As geeky as this all sounds its how i feel about the characters. They're more than just a numbered figure to me, they're a modern day version of the ancient myths, and thats how i think they should be treated.

No offense to anyone who collects for other reasons.

I assume the moulded cape will add a lot more to the cubic dimensions of this shipping box, obviously making it more expensive, so it wouldnt just be weight.

Ha ha! Fan of the sculpted cape. To each his own. Looking forward the Superman with his matching cape too. . I know it will weigh quite a bit more than a fabric cape. Hope it doesn't sting your wallet to badly mate! Here's to Bats

You had to go and state the final cost didn't ya Darth Here I was blissfully not trying to think about it and

Honestly though I feel exactly the same . I've bowed out of the hobby before due to cost and will do so again if I have to, it all comes back to priorites as King once said or his Dad I'm not sure which one

It looks like I will be able to afford one piece a year possibly two if the piece is that damn amazing. Utimately price will tell how long I hang around for

Ditto.

First baby is due in 3 weeks, so my priorities will change in a big way.
Whatevers left on my SS pre orders currently may be the last for a while once they are paid off. (Batman PF, Superman PF, ROTJ Vader 12", also saving points to use on Chewie PF once i see in hand pics)

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

What are you looking for Dude



People are allowed to trade and sell their own statues m8.

Looking for Leonidas PF or Rocketeer (exclusives). Sticking with mostly movie themed PF's for my HT room. Didn't come to that conclusion until later.
