Version 1 is here

Version 2 for statues, busts, props and collectibles is here.

FAQ :

Q : What are statues / props / replicas that are discussed here?
A : Loosely termed for inanimate objects or figures that cannot articulate. There are other lowyat.net threads for such articulate figures / action figures.

Q : Where to buy statues and collectibles in Malaysia?
A : Usual places are shioktoys (curve), bigbangtoys (publika), roboticatoys (ebay / subang) and local ebay. Some other shops may have but not actively publishing eg ultimate toys (amcorp) or comic shops eg comics mart (midvalley). Xl-shop has stopped selling statues. Each might have a website which you need to google for. If local supply is unavailable, look towards neighbouring countries eg singapore.

Q : What are the common brands / manufacturers for statues and collectibles?
A : Sideshow, Pop culture shock, Gentle Giant, Bowen, Kotobukiya, Cinemaquette, DC Direct, ARH studios, CS Moore, EFX, Hot Toys, etc.

Q : How are the price ranges?
A : Ranges up to many thousands depending on exclusivity, scale and license.

Q : Is it a good investment to collect?
A : Due to the higher retail starting price and subsequent secondary market, it is very selective for sales especially in an immature market like Asia. If selling on worldwide scale, competition is higher but better reach to sellers especially the rarer pieces.

I hope this is going to be epic. I am new to this hobby and not very familiar to spend that much money for a figure.

But to think that I only need to set a side RM100 a month until March 2013, this is going to be money worth spend.

This LSB is totally different, hope they will be this kind of LSB for WM in the future so that it will be awesome to put it side by side

how about the batman pf guys?what do u think about it?

The batman pf looks great, if you can combo it with Joker and Poison Ivy pf it will be more awesome.

DONT STOP TO THINK, ORDER FIRST AND CANCEL LATER IF YOU REALLY DONT WANT IT.....btw, i think exclusive version is already SOLD OUT!

haha..as expected from you

haha.I m gonna pre-order it bro.haha even the regular one also looks cool

Black cat lsb was S$309.


Batman pf and superman pf are must-haves for me

Most sideshow website order require NRD, so cant simply cancel. Even local stores also require deposit.

Batman is one of the must have for a lot and once it is gone you have trouble getting this. Personally I think Sideshow did a fantastic job for this statue.

Huyooo.. ss the hulk coming soon..

Congrats, nice line-up





That's a nice preorder list Power!
