pmpknface Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I was wondering if that was the same Gman, he does seem to have a knack for finding statues for people. Yep, that's the same guy. Do send a PM. He's got lots of product and good deals can be had. If they made them, I'd be the first to buy one! BD did make Stan & Jack MB's. You can find them pretty cheap!

MedicAR Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I can honestly say I got in on the ground floor of statues. I picked up Bowen's batman and the Wolverine on the Sentry head when they were released. It's been hit and miss since then with a big slow down over the last year or two. I'll try to get some pics up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpknface Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 HA! No prob. I'm just used to the lingo. And FYI: FS = Full Size statue. I picked up my first statue in my LCS for $30, it was the Nightcrawler MB. I just loved the way it looked. It was all downhill from there. I've since sold that one and a few others (I still have a bunch I want to part with) but I still love them. I've got a few that got put in the mail today actually!

pmpknface Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Is their an ultron statue base of annihilation conquest No, no conquest statue. Slideshow made this one: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/marvel-classic-ultron-on-throne-sideshow-collectibles-200120/# Bowen made a FS too. I forget if it was chromed but if not you can get it done. Not a big deal. I'd buy a Conquest one if made tho.

pmpknface Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 So I thought I'd post a few pics since I remembered to take a few new ones. Here's a few shots of what's in the comic room. There are more around the house, but this will have to do for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comick1 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 King Features Syroco series from the 40s. Trying to upgrade a few of those as well as score some ones I still need from the "Great Americans" series (lower left with Lincoln, Washington, etc.). In the middle are the Pinnochio syroco plaques, and the ones on the lower right front are the Indian Totem Poles that were offered as Quaker Puffed Wheat cereal premiums from the Sgt. Preston radio show. Hard to see him in the bottom middle there, but that's Capt. Marvel and at the tippy top are a couple of the original boxes that the King Features ones came in. Those are awesome! I had no idea there were so many out there. I had started trying to collect the Dark Horse syrocos but (and here's a rare complaint in comics) they were released too fast and cost too much. I'm picking and choosing some now. Very cool! Thanks! Most of the KF Syndicate syrocos weren't too difficult or expensive, but they took me the better part of 20 years to amass. I've seen paint variants on ebay and the like for almost all of them. Some sellers (and even the Hakes Price Guide) tried to hike those up as if they were somehow planned that way by the Syroco company, but I'm not convinced that the paint variants (like a brown phantom costume) weren't just the result of some dude at the syroco company running out of purple paint after awhile and just cranking them out with whatever else was sitting around the factory. Might've even been repainted by some kid after initially purchased. Almost no way to actually know. The Great American Series has been much tougher to complete than the KF series. There are ones that I've seen on ebay that I've missed because I was snoozing when the hammer dropped or because I just forgot to check and then not seen another such figure appear on ebay for more than 10 years. I have some in the KF series that I want to upgrade because of snapped ankles but generally, it's been a buncha fun putting 'em together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I dont have anywhere near the collection that some people have, but I couldn't pass up the medicom/bandai collab tetsuo, kaneda, and kanedas bike from akira. I've been a huge akira fan since I was about 10 years old, and its partially responsible for getting me into comics in the first place. While these are technically really pimped out action figures and not statues, I figured they'd be okay to share.
