Re: Comic Con '09

For me it has to be the Yoda PF/Darth + Obi Diorama/ Mystqiue Comiquette so far. SS are releasing so much stuff at the moment that looks so good.

No love for the Scarlet Witch?

Like the idea of the vader/obi diorama but will have to see it all (and price) before making a decision.
I'll be ordering Mystique and the Scarlet Witch for definite and I may be seriously tempted with that Vader bust, bar the Terminator ones I think its the only other 1:1 scale I would like..... would just have to work out for somewhere to put it

Re: Comic Con '09

Well I've decided to go for :

Iron Man Diorama
Mystique Comiquette
Yoda/Trooper PF
Venom Comiquette (This one won't go down with g/f, she hates Venom! )

Hope these go up for pre-order tomorrow as I want the exclusives other than Yoda as there isn't one, oh and his saber is meant to light up on the final version!

Re: Comic Con '09

Well I've already decided against it

SS will eventually do a 1/4 scale Maquette and I've already got the 1:1 bust..... plus I keep thinking about having an awesome Terminator 1:1 display

Aye, well if it makes you feel any better, whenever I think of Cooey on Avforums, I think Terminator.

Killer Terminator Collection!

I'm guessing a print in traditional AH style. However they add a hell of a lot of value to the item, so may be worth bearing in mind if you might end up selling. I won't sell mine but I would like the print, it's going to be a massive piece.

MWC Toy reviews always has a good section on the Comic Con, well organised and lots of pictures. I know his website from way back when I used to collect Simpsons figures.

One word for you: Alcohol!

But in all seriousness I have just graduated and am starting law school in October, so no more student loan for me, yet more expense and a poor student existence.

Re: Comic Con '09

Not sure if its related to comic con, didnt see it in the pictures, but just seen the 1:1 Full Iron Man Mark3 on sideshows website, wow!

A lot of money, but looks amazing, but then again after the issues with the bust I'm not sure about it, £1,200 is a heck of a lot of cash, not to mention were the hell I would put it!

Yea you made the right decision the T-600 bust is a must the iron man is to big and to expensive for me i'm still waiting on the 1/4 pf

i have gone for the clone troop with yoda, i'm not a big star wars fan but i think this will look really good with the light up feature.

also like the sauron diroama and the legolas p/f, i think i'll go for sauon though...

don't like the terminators face on the half scale bust and the cost is silly expensive..
