Considering that the predominate companies we all collect from here are Hot Toys,Medicom and Sideshow...I was wondering what everyone considers to be each companies' "Holy Grail".

Oh and considering that Sideshow does both figures and statues,I figure it'd be fair to divide that up.

-Hot Toys Holy Grail
-Medicom Holy Grail
-Sideshow 12'' Figure Holy Grail
-Sideshow Statue/PF,etc. Holy Grail

-Patient Zero would be a SS 12" grail
-SS Statue/PF, etc. for me at least would be the Predator Maquette Exclusive
 
HT: Superman - It seems to be the one HT figure that just about everyone wants.

Medicom: SM2 Spidey (?) - That's the one I always hear is near impossible to get.

SSC 1/6: Human Spike - They made a ton of these and they still sell for ungodly amounts on the secondary market.

SSC Statue/PF: X-Men vs Sentinel or Dr. Doom.
 
Hot toys: the upcoming Prison Break Figures

Medi: none

SS 12" : Platoon figures

SS statues : X-men vs Sentinel series and AH! Series
 
Hot Toys: Hicks

Medicom: Kenada from Akira

Sideshow 12": Common one: Patient Zero. Super Rare: SSE Son of Frankenstein

Sideshow PF: Doom Ex, seems to be the priciest
 
Hot Toys: Hicks or, for me, Batman Begins Batman (I know a lot of people prefer the Takara version, but the suit material seems awfully prone to degradation so I'd rather have the Hot Toys version)

Medicom: Neo or the Andy Warhols (both the 60s and the 80s versions)

Sideshow: Patient Zero and, as distant runners-up, Nazi Kroenen and Lugosi Dracula

Sideshow statues: Doom or Iron Man or the 1st X-men vs. Sentinel dio (I don't collect statues as a rule, but I'd sure like to have just the Sentinel head from the dio to display with my Marvel 1:6 stuff)
 
These are my personal grail pieces.

1. Hot Toys - The Director

2. Medicom - The Rocketeer (1st release). I have the 2nd release but you gotta love the artwork to the original box.

3. Sideshow 1:6 figure - Son Of Frankenstein SSE

4. Sideshow Statue - X-Men Vs. Sentinal Exclusive

I don't about everyone else but I love threads with lots of pictures.
 
Hot Toys 12" - First Blood : Rambo II
Medicom 12" - Boba Fett
Sideshow 12" - Ash
 
My picks woulud be:

HT - Superman Returns
Medi - Naked Snake, really wanted that figure for like EVER, love that game!
SSC - The Mummy
SSC Statue - I don't have room for any of the them, but It'd defintely be one of the Exclusive Premium Formats from Star Wars. Leia, Ben, Vader, or Luke/Yoda.
 
My personal ones:

Hot Toys: Superman Returns

Those are the ones i think represent some of the finest overall work by those companies. Theres other figures/pieces by each that are obviously great in their own ways, just those IMO were all clear winners that they knocked out of the park, sadly doom is the only one i dont have... ah well.
 
HT rocky&clubber/ superman

Medicom vader/X3 wolverine/comic spiderman/neo(the fetts are lookin good)

but it's all kinda preference now aint it.

Funny thing is the earlier picture you showed was from the review I did :lol The cool thing is that you can sometimes find him for a pretty reasonable price.
