It is, it’s smaller than you’d think! I don’t have the largest of heads (and no hair) and it fits very close.Looks awesome and nice to see something a bit different
So, is it wearable and if so have you tried it on?
Looks a little short for a stormtrooperIt is, it’s smaller than you’d think! I don’t have the largest of heads (and no hair) and it fits very close.
I knew I’d have to put it on sideways and twist it round but with the foam in the top it feels small.
Fits my son well though!!

Just like his father before him!!Looks a little short for a stormtrooper
Lol! We're becoming a bad influence on one another it would seem.I thought I'd been taking a leaf out of your book in not saying right away lol
I can remember back to when you used to get a few statues a year in from them. Always loved it when you had fresh pics to share.I'm not as keen on them as I used to be in the past, remember a time when I always had at least a few things on pre-order from them but unfortunately they are one of if not the biggest statue company around......... but thinking about it there has been direct relation of them getting bigger, prices rising and personal customer service going a bit the wrong way
Did you mention her a while back? I can't think how she'd slip passed my radar otherwise.Had mentioned her when she was announced so was always on the look out with a high chance of me getting her as she is a character I've always liked and the only zenescope title I'm still getting........
So I see. Snow White is more buxom than I remember, lol. I like how clean she looks and she pairs perfectly with Robyn. A nice get....since I got her she has got company in the display now
I'm seeing a pattern now. So when you see pieces you like you'll casually mention an interest in them, being careful not to overplay it, then keep schtum until they are bought and come through the door. You are a sneaky one, sir.Again at least the three of these were always on my radar since they were announced last year so were always very likely additions at some stage
Hmm...I can't decide whether or not that's too dinky for my display.Yeah about that size, for reference they are a very similar scale to the Batman B&W and Harley RWB lines
I've just seen her and the Iron Studios Harley. Absolutely glorious! I love the group shot of your Bombshells especially and am impressed with how good the detailing is on Harley. The scuff on her face is a nice little touch.Should have pics up over the weekend of her and my other couple of additions
A tough one that. It sounds like it could well be a drag. Mind you, if the finished article is impressive it may be worth the effort? Hard to call really.Didn't look too closely but it looks like you make a base then hundreds and hundreds of wee round one dot things are put on in a set out pattern so looks a bit repetive and not sure if I'd enjoy that or not
I had a feeling Vader would be one of your picks. The Darth Maul one looks pretty good too.Looking at the Star Wars Sith for Vader only and the Iron Man one....... Vader although not that likely is a little more of a possibility than Iron Man
Reasonable is still good. Especially for a piece that isn't easy to come by over here.Not a bargain but reasonable at £120
I'm very sorry to read that. I expect the other Batgirl will follow suit, if it hasn't already?Just read that people were having there pre-orders canceled at sideshow for that Designer series Catwoman one so looks like thats been canned...... showing as sold out now on sideshows site with no release date https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/dc-comics-catwoman-dc-collectible-905878
I'm easy to read when it comes to Ms. Ivy.I'd say with the amount of times I've mentioned a certain green lady over the past year or so to you I've been guessing correctly for a long time now
One thing that is practically guaranteed with a Batman PF is that he will have a hefty base (and cape!), thus he needs a good bit of real estate. Whichever one you decide to go for I'm sure he will be worth it. He simply commands attention.A character I'd have liked to have a PF version of but previous ones were always a little tall for where I'd like to put them. I do have space available for either of the latest ones now though
I'm growing very fond of that Harley. Wish I could justify one myself.As for PF's after Hell On Wheels Harley I also have The Mandalorian and Deadpool in my sights for next year
I'm pleased for you too. She was a must really.Yep, glad to have got that one for the sake of how much I commited to that line
It would be UK or nothing for me I'm afraid. I can see her being delayed into next year.Couple appearing with european sellers but on high side price wise after missing a couple that sold for a bit less in germany. Bigbadtoystore also have her in-stock but again not working out that great price wise...... fingers crossed a few UK ones start appearing at some stage although now stating oct-nov on sideshows site so will likely be a wee while after that
What does wait list actually mean? You maybe still have a chance at one if you put your name down?I see she's finally moved to wait list status now so looks like she's sold out and I'll need more ammo please for something else to harp on about to you
That makes perfect sense.Had a cull of whim bigger ones a number of years ago and have stuck to the real wants since then for the bigger ones that for me deserve the extra valuable real estate.
Ha, ha, it's great fun isn't it?It's still amazing me how I'm still finding spaces for more after all these years lol
I thoroughly enjoyed it too. I really took the time to soak it all in. I did find the Batmobile sections quite jarring for quite a lot of the game, but I was able to master the wheels in the end though.Just googled it, yep you're right...... really enjoyed that one, even the Batmobile parts once I got the hang of it
Totally agree. Also, the poorly animated steelbook art for films, not animated features, which is becoming more prevalent, is really getting on my nerves too.Yeah this crap with no titles on the front has really been grating and alienating me with them in recent years, more and more are looking very poor too so making it easier to pass on them which probably isn't a bad thing
Same. I've been tanning the life out of my iTunes account this year, lol.Been renting more new ones on itunes myself this past year or so, been happy with watching most that way
Sony will be rubbing their hands at the additional revenue streams.Really? If thats the case then yeah would have to agree that panel accessories of different colours/designs are a cert...... so guess thats more space I'll have to find to put one as they aren't the smallest looking of things
I just wish I could have got a bit more mileage out of it.And why not, with all the Ivy stick you deserve it
Harley has bit you bad, hasn't she? Lol!If a Harley came in-stock at CDUK at a time when I have the funds sitting it would be hard to pass on.....
Hmm...not sure about that pose, but that price tag though!same for this one as its on my maybe list if a Premium Format version doesn't happen for me DC Premium Collectibles DC 1/6 Scale Statue Batman 1972
Oh yeah! He's ready to go to down, isn't he? That cape is fantastic!Other ones this one but prefer the regular head sculpt https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/dc-comics-batman-sideshow-collectibles-300747?var=3007471
Both? Would I suggest such a thing?I keep swinging back and forth between the two as both have there plus points aswell as minor niggles...... and no, both isn't an option due to space I'm willing to give them
You can rely on @Soundwave and I to provide plenty of encouragement for you to fill those spaces.Even after filling a space I'm hoping Harley will fit into I'll hopefully still have space for around 6 around the 20" to 21" mark and 3 more elsewhere upto 24" without any moddding so yeah, no problems displaying either of them
Is it supposed to have the paint chips?Not a figure but a new prop replica.

Bemused One said:It's always handy when you can mix lines and they still work together. That's quite rare.
Will you be buying any of the 5 Figma have released thus far?

Bemused One said:I'll hold you to that. It's an experience every gamer and Alien fan should have.

Bemused One said:You seem to be dousing your wallet with kerosene Neil, not water.
Bemused One said:So, when is Cap due? Lol!
Bemused One said:I disagree. I think you share a fair amount of pics on here. Granted, the collectibles aren't out of their boxes long before they are put away again , but I'll take what I can get.
Very much so. Just like the ones on screen which were battered!Is it supposed to have the paint chips?
Looks cute, guessing its the start of a new line of similar statues?
Gam said:I'll be quessing you're right, will be surprised if I don't end up with it. Would hold off till nearer the time and order with sideshow but the way custom bills seem to be working out now it will be cheaper going with the likes of CDUK so just hope they still have the pre-orders going when the 2nd season is on the go.
Gam said:Talking of premium formats, whats your thought on the current and next Batman ones? I like them both to a degree and I'm thinking one or the other but not 100% on the chaps look or the poseable cape of the current one or the draped gown look of the next one...... would guess they wouldn't bother me once in hand but was interested in your thoughts on them or just wait till the inevitable one after the next one lol
Gam said:The wee one arrived and also picked up The Huntress Bomshells from an ebay shop in France, arrived very quick and well packaged......... they still have a few more in stock
So more pics coming soooooon
Gam said:Doh, suppose who knows what the max bid of the winner was but it did sell for a reasonable price from a buyers point of view...... you'll have to 'settle' for that XM 1/3 sclae Thor now lol
Gam said:Beta Ray Bill was in-stock at CDUK for a good while wasn't it? Wouldn't really have went with that Thor though as I think it was 1/4 scale was it not? Although I'm sure the boxes would have looked well together
Gam said:Thats been one of my other hobbies over the years. I like a clean car and always find it enjoyable and easy enough to keep them clean but without meaning to sound too Irish I do hate cleaning them ie a real rough one when I get ropped into doing the odd family or friends ones
Gam said:In this case it sucks for you to have so much choice going forward, sounds like another bottomless pit for you to fall and get stuck in........ in a good way of course
Gam said:Yeah more the nuisance and time factor, still thought the reason that caused it was a bit odd and never found out why a straight forward refund didn't go through or why they couldn't just have resent it but hey-ho, it was what it was and hopefully no more issues going forward
Gam said:I'm sure I'll be safe-ish form temptation for these for a while yet then
Gam said:As above she's fitted into the space left for her nicely, pics to follow later in the week
Gam said:I knew you liked that Aquaman one
Gam said:But yeah, I think there was only a handfull I intentionally passed on, sad to see them come to an end....... so onto the Iron Studios lines now lol
Gam said:Have it for a while now but haven't read it yet
Gam said:hmmmm.....
Gam said:Me too, always look at them as a right time right place sorta situation and its always a bonus when they work out as well as the Batmobile did
I'll not say no chance but the chances are low for the Batwing being added to the collection, too much other stuff would be well above it in the want list
Gam said:I'm almost shocked that there is anything even to put onto the back of a postage stamp
Gam said:Never liked doing things by half measures or maybe I'm telling myself that and I've just no discipline to pick and choose without one item leading to another
My latest additions, first up the Huntress Bombshells statue

That's amazing, I love it
Are they expensive?
Looking forward to seeing you add more to the collection
Neil
This one was £525, the Hero helmet is just an ABS pull - less labour intensive so cost £325, and the Fett helmet has the heaviest paint detail, plus I believe RS had to pay a lot for the ability to mould from the owners first generation cast so is £1000 (plus I'm waiting to find out the cost of aluminium "ears" for the Fett which will put the price up by at least £250 I would think.
yeah its a cover girls
15 lol
Very nice, that ones been on my maybe list and looking at how she turned out it may be moving up to want list very soon
I'm with you in that you can't have too much Harley, although DC have been testing that theory for a while nowyeah its a cover girls
15 lol

I just had a Killing Joke Joker statue cancelled by Sideshow.
Not too disappointed as I was buying it because of price and appreciation for the comic but it didn't look as good as I believe it could have done.
Need any help with the convincing? We're good at that around hereI'm still holding fire on getting some Ghostbusters statues and Blitzway figures because although good they just have something missing for me at that price.
Give me time to convince myself though!!
Loving all the different figures and pieces everyone is showing here, really varied wide selection and many sub genres its great!
Lol! We're becoming a bad influence on one another it would seem.
To be fair the customer services rep was ok this time, could have been better? Probably yes but I think there hands are more tied these days in what they can and cant do as is the norm with bigger companies, at least I haven't lost out and will have been using them again anyway with worst case the credit in my account will be paying for Harley in a few months time hopefullyI can remember back to when you used to get a few statues a year in from them. Always loved it when you had fresh pics to share.
Following your recent frustrating and long drawn out dealings with them and the issues you had with them a few years back with one of your Millenium Falcon's, it's clear they haven't improved much, if any, on the customer services side of things. As if the high prices weren't bad enough, poor customer service is another massive turn off for me.
Oh yeah, a few times from when they were put up as a kickstarter campaign a few years ago but to be fair with the amount of drival I type it could easily have been missedDid you mention her a while back? I can't think how she'd slip passed my radar otherwise.
I'm not familiar with Zenoscope. Is it comics or graphic novels you collect from them?
Totally agree, my original hesitations were put at ease once I saw her in hand and as you say makes a great pairingSo I see. Snow White is more buxom than I remember, lol. I like how clean she looks and she pairs perfectly with Robyn. A nice get.
Yep, and there is plenty of others buried in the threadI'm seeing a pattern now. So when you see pieces you like you'll casually mention an interest in them, being careful not to overplay it, then keep schtum until they are bought and come through the door. You are a sneaky one, sir.
Seriously though, all three of them are great. Will we be getting a pic of where exactly they are in your display?
They are dinky and delicate looking when set next to anything much bigger but do look great when on there own elsewhere..... guess finding anywhere to do that would be your biggest problemHmm...I can't decide whether or not that's too dinky for my display.
Cheers, as it seems the Bombshells line is over I filled up that cabinet which was to keep me going for a while to free another shelf elsewhere for other thingsI've just seen her and the Iron Studios Harley. Absolutely glorious! I love the group shot of your Bombshells especially and am impressed with how good the detailing is on Harley. The scuff on her face is a nice little touch.
The Vader one with using three sets was very tempting but don't have anywhere to put it do looks like they are fixed on the maybe but unlikely list unless a spark clicks and think that would look good there sorta situation happensA tough one that. It sounds like it could well be a drag. Mind you, if the finished article is impressive it may be worth the effort? Hard to call really.
Yeah he does but even though I still have a Maul PF its mainly the original trilogy for me Star Wars wiseI had a feeling Vader would be one of your picks. The Darth Maul one looks pretty good too.
Thats what I thought when I came accross it and it was from France so no customs charges so no hassle with deliveryReasonable is still good. Especially for a piece that isn't easy to come by over here.
Yep it seem to have gone too along with a few othersI'm very sorry to read that. I expect the other Batgirl will follow suit, if it hasn't already?
She grows on you very easilyI'm easy to read when it comes to Ms. Ivy.
Thats one of the things drawing me to the one next year in particularOne thing that is practically guaranteed with a Batman PF is that he will have a hefty base (and cape!), thus he needs a good bit of real estate. Whichever one you decide to go for I'm sure he will be worth it. He simply commands attention.
Guess who will be getting regular in hand pics of her now when I get her in my collectionI'm growing very fond of that Harley. Wish I could justify one myself.
Was all set for getting the Hot Toys one but the PF has knocked idea out of my head.... almost a cert now for this oneYour interest in the Mandalorian was noted in your conversations with @Soundwave. He makes sense given the related pieces you have of him already in your collection. Plus, baby yoda would melt anyone's heart.
Have the first one and skipped the 2nd due to size but this one is very likely https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/marvel-deadpool-sideshow-collectibles-300690Another Deadpool? Which one?
Cheers, happy to get one to complete the collection in my eyes without much hassleI'm pleased for you too. She was a must really.
I was thinking the same but I'm not minding looking to europe via ebay at the minute.It would be UK or nothing for me I'm afraid. I can see her being delayed into next year.
To be honest, what with the delays and given the line is pretty much dead now, I'm losing motivation to pick her up. I keep thinking I could put the money I would have used for her into another of the lines I'm considering. We'll see what happens.
Sold out but slim chance there may be returns or extra stock found...... used to be more of a chance with pre-orders as cancellations could happenWhat does wait list actually mean? You maybe still have a chance at one if you put your name down?
I'm sure it was, especially with the length of time it took and that so and so always teasing you about itI've only recently come to terms with the fact I will never own her. It's been so painful to see her pass me by.
I'll try to be good, honest, although you'll have a chance with them as although they look great they aren't really as fixed on my rader as Ivy wasAs for more ammo. As you shared with me, I feel it's only fair I should reciprocate. I've mentioned them previously, but the Gantaku Anime Alucard and First4Figures Dracula statues still appeal to me.
As a Resident Evil fan and huge fan of the recent Resi 2 remake, this chap really appeals to me, although he is a tad on the pricey side.
but ohhhh....... which Iron Studios ones in particularThere are also lines from Iron Studios and Chronicle Collectibles that have caught my interest, but they are merely maybes at this time.
How was that?
Yeah sorta, lasted a long time that I always got drawn into new shinny stuff and for a while it was more sell and upgrade to better things over the years but then due to space got to the stage of organising sections which meant being more picky.That makes perfect sense.
I take it you had an initial splurge when you first started collecting and then over time refined your approach?
Oh yeah, but not so much if any accidents happen moving things aroundHa, ha, it's great fun isn't it?
Same here, something just clicked with the Batmobile after some irratation.I thoroughly enjoyed it too. I really took the time to soak it all in. I did find the Batmobile sections quite jarring for quite a lot of the game, but I was able to master the wheels in the end though.
The only thing that annoyed me was when they released dlc featuring more of the villains, which had clearly been torn out of the main game, later on down the track. I never got to play those sections as I didn't see the point going back the game having already completed it. It didn't make narrative sense if you know what I mean?
lol yeah to me that ones ok on its own but looks out off place with the others which all look greatTotally agree. Also, the poorly animated steelbook art for films, not animated features, which is becoming more prevalent, is really getting on my nerves too.
Don't even get me started on Disco Vader, lol.
Her and Deadpool have been my weakness for many a year now but yeah, Harley in particular now has probably bitten in pretty deapHarley has bit you bad, hasn't she? Lol!
I know what you mean, looks good from the front but a little weird from the side and yes the prices are eye watering for them which is why I'm leaning more to the PF'sHmm...not sure about that pose, but that price tag though!
Yeah I'm liking it and the sculpted cape is appealing to meOh yeah! He's ready to go to down, isn't he? That cape is fantastic!
If I had more space I would be thinking about it but there will be next to no chance for bothBoth? Would I suggest such a thing?
I'm leaning towards it more and more at the minute....... but a spanner in the works as you mentioned the colour scheme, theres now a grey/blue version of the current one as a varient but on first sight I prefer the black version of it, more looking at pics will be requiredPersonally I'd opt for the one you linked to above. I like the colouring on him and the material cape on the other one kind of cheapens the look of it IMO. Just my 2p's worth.
Yeah was the DC Direct Clown Prince one.I take it was the one from the new Clown Prince of Crime line you had cancelled, similar size and design to the Batman B&W and Harley RWB lines?
Have you seen the Designer Series Killing Joke Joker with the camera, not the mini or the similar Koto one, the full sized DC Designer Series 1/6 scale one? It looks very good quality and punching well above its original price point if you can find one on the secondary market......... I'm sure if you ask @Bemused One he'll happily share a few pics of his
Don't start one has just appeared!Need any help with the convincing? We're good at that around here
