HarveySwick Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I did see that one and like it as well. Reason I liked the Bowen one was to match it with the DD Bowen one I picked up - I like that they are the same bases. Thanks for the input.

JAM_NYC Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hey COI, do you have any info/thoughts on this one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/301049057751?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I've been looking at it for awhile. I think I like this Elektra one better than the others I've seen. The base matches your faux bronze DD statue, that's reason enough to buy it and display them together. I saw a beautiful white re-paint of that statue on one of the statue forums, it looked outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not my pic) Then again, if you already have the Bowen Daredevil, that Elektra would make a better companion piece since the comiquette is 1/5 scale and would dwarf the faux bronze Bowen DD. I'm still waiting for Sideshow to do a full 1/4 scale Daredevil Premium Format. It's in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hado Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Now there were 750 of the regular SW's and 350 of the ones that come with the Veranke head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Now there were 750 of the regular SW's and 350 of the ones that come with the Veranke head. Yeah. I have #7 of 750. Don't care for the Skrull head, so I didn't bother. 750 is a relatively small number for a SS piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
604comics Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I can't decide which SW statue to go after The Queen Veranke version of the SS is sweet too. Advice ? Here's mine: I was all ready to jump all over the Sideshow PF, I even had my name on the waitlist for the Skrull exclusive. But when it was released and I started seeing in-hand pics, many folks were disappointed with the paint job and the less-than-flush seams where the shoulder rests on the body. I'm glad my waitlist didn't convert, even though I love Spider-Woman. I actually have the other statue by Bowen. It is gorgeous and with the gargoyle base, it's got a good size to it. I didn't even know about it until I saw a local seller had it up for sale. I've got it sitting next to my Sideshow Spider-Woman LSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't know what to do with a 1/4 scale statue! I'm working on a "man bookcase" before a man cave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 It's funny how in this thread you have to very carefully choose your words when talking about statue sizes so you don't find yourself quoted in the out-of-context thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy with mine and I think it looks way better in person than the pictures convey (as these things often do), but I'm aware of the issues. I actually passed initially as well, but Sideshow had a portion of their regular stock redone, and they recently popped up on their website. The one I got is from that new batch, and thankfully, it has no real issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
604comics Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 But I have to say, the Sideshow Ms. Marvel PF is by far my most favourite statue that I own, it's my holy grail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ms Marvel is pretty awesome. Don't have that one. Have you seen the upcoming Red Sonja exclusive with the severed head? That may end up eventually taking the crown for best PF ever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you wait to pick them up on the secondary market? And have you ever experienced any paint/production issues yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you wait to pick them up on the secondary market? And have you ever experienced any paint/production issues yourself? Here's the thing: the statue community has a very picky vocal minority that tends to harp on even minor things, while many satisfied people don't speak up. Sideshow has had some issues with pieces in the past, and because of the detail of these pieces, complications are bound to happen. But the complaints among the community tend to lean toward the extreme. I try to buy most of my stuff from Sideshow. They have a no-hassle return policy and will even send replacement parts when possible. I have purchased more than a dozen from them directly, and the only real problem I had was with Spider-Woman; her head went on flush, but then was very difficult to remove. After fiddling with it for a while, I realized that I had to simply pull and twist it a certain way and it came out easily. It would have potentially been a problem with someone who is less patient, as they could have easily broken one of the strands of hair while attempting to remove the piece.
