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.

Superb...cool of you to put Supes pic for the thread!

Yay, new thread.

Anyone thinking of going all the way for this 1:1 ?

Congratulation V2. Very exciting year but wallet screaming, wonder if there is anymore surprise from sideshow towards year besides those that have been revealed. Just placed order for Galactus and C-P3O&R2, over 4k to be paid next year.....

I like LS Doom, unless I strike BToto can't afford this....

U can start saving now.. every month save RM500 and put into fix deposit after reach RM1K. Like that sure no prob. Haha...

I think there is a real person in vader. His right hand from waist to raised !

I have to skipped c3po/R2d2 and got mk7 bust instead...tough decision... and ordered batman pf...awaiting supe...

ooooo yeeaaahhh

V2 Finally!

lEt us usher into a golden age!

A golden age that NEVER ENDS!

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!

My latest :

Nice ones

Any peeling on mk3 bust?

MK3 bust seem to have the peeling problem. My cousin's MK3 also kena.

I was hesitate to get one as I heard its common.

No peeling... touch wood

No peeling with my M3 too....mine is as shiny as the stars....

Hope the mk7 bust is of better paint job.

lol that batman bust macam just come out of mother's womb

Nice !!!

Smoking !

Reminds me of witchblade pose

Thats hot



So looks like hulk is announced as $650 ! gulp

Looking grand

Wow check out sideshow's charity auction http://www.sideshowtoy.com/experience/2012...16th-24th-2012/


This asajj bust is really cool ... superb paintjob, going for $1+k

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...em=160841539965


One of the best looking old school LOTR statues, going for $4k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...em=160841546775



Doom excl going for $5k

Black costume black widow pf going for 4k

That asajj is poisoning me for the regular

dunno lar.

everytime I see that Black Widow PF I feel like its a disaster waiting to happen.

Either the final retail will have:
(a). cockeye
(b). cloth flaking
©. don't look anything like Scarlett

hehe.. dunno why females always have problems. Same for hot toys, not as good as males.

Fir females, maybe its safer to buy local and check quality during inspection.

Hi fellow collectors,

Anyone here wants to let go their Mark 6 & WM Maquette? Let me know as a friend of mine is searching for it.

If you know anyone who is willing to sell, do pm me with info. Thanks!

This collection display is wow and skaar looks good from collector JMT in indonesia ...

Colossus pf looking nice by collector Mamba ... I'm considering now

Bro, considering Colossus PF? Seriously?
I was considering to get two for myself......It's awesome!

By the way, my Jessica Rabbit PF Ex. is on the way....wohoo!!!

This post has been edited by buggygil: Aug 3 2012, 11:20 AM

Most of everything has to be in consideration. Have to be picky and critical... can't afford everything.

Even hulk pf is under consideration.

Hulk pf is very nice......

Looks like Joker pf coming soon. Hope my waitlist convert!

Hulk needs no consideration man. It's a confirmed

Ok this pic has sealed the deal for me

LOL....The poison is strong

Unfortunately, I am passing on Hulk PF because it is based on movie version. Not because the statue don't look nice, infact it's one of the best so far......must stick to comic statues only.......BE STRONG.....

Added on August 4, 2012, 2:49 pmAnyone bought Vampirella PF? I need review and comment....thinking to buy one from Sideshow since I got extra points and $25 gift card

This post has been edited by buggygil: Aug 4 2012, 02:49 PM

I have got Vampi, used to be hardcore Hottoy collecter and after Vampi convert to Sideshow PF. Very nice figure!

Did you get tax for your Jessica Rabbit?

Talking about poison, holy crap!!

Damn... that sagat is deadly indeed. But for sure very limited like the past SF statues. So slim chance.

I always wants to start SF PF line, especially there is one that looks like this....but dang, I have to stay strong.....Marvel is already killing my wallet

hehe can't be a completist in this hobby, have to treat each piece as art.. can stand on its own, not necessarily have to be diorama.

This sagat only 75 pieces... going be lottery odds

Anybody have For sale batman sideshow 1:1 bust i am interested in buying PM me thanks

Check with the local toy store.....I don't think there is a lot around

That is very limited

Saw few weeks ago on display/sale/order in shioktoys.

SHIOKTOYS have reopen the Batman LiSB for orders again now.... Go check it out !

Fedex called me up and said custom is going to tax me 20% + 10% for my Jessica Rabbit statue....WTF?!!!! 20 + 10?
They said custom open it and said it is porcelain statue.....I don't know how long this stupidity will last long, even with some evidence sent to them, they still denying it.

That's great news

Those blood sucking leechers

Go to custom, aske to speak person in charge, and politely ask to "settle". Bulan puasa, they should more than happy to oblige

30% customs.... Wow thats high. I will have some big item coming in next year and tis year if my waitlist convert, dun mind 'settling' if possible.

20% + 10% is slightly higher than 30%. Imagine you take 30% from RM1,000.00 is RM300.00. But 20% + 10% is 1st you add 20% to your RM1,000.00 which totalled up to RM1,200.00 then and then only you add the other 10% which is RM120.00. So your taxable total is RM320.00

Unfortunately the issue here is that all Sideshow statues are made from Polystone and not porcelain as described in Sideshow web;

"Polystone is a compound made up largely of polyurethane resin mixed with powdered stone additives that give it added weight and the porcelain or "stone-like" feel that resulted in the materials name itself. Polystone is durable and highly effective at maintaining a sharp paint finish. Unlike porcelain which is fired in an oven, Polystone is a cold-cast material in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process, resulting in much greater variations of paint finish".

Bro I understand what you mean. I myself plan to do some casting work in the future for my custom works so have been learning abit on this topic. But the prob is I dont think our boleh land customs will be bothered whether it is polystone or porcelien.

Some of my previous sideshow purchases which was below RM500 was still tax by them simply because Kastams has their own shiping calculation where instead of RM70 shipping I'm paying they calculate as RM 380 and they refuse to listen even with documented evidence.

Ya, I know......try talking to the idiots....they don't even understand what you said. Just a pain in my ass....previously, I got my Psylocke tax free, and my Rogue was taxed at 15%

Sucks that kastam kills the joy of every parcel/shipment, its luck. Sometimes kena some not.

Singapore also has kastam issues I hear... anything near S$400 is at risk but of cos only 7%

Lets have a peek at your jessica

it's YamatoUSA's Hot Box. Its just based on a drawing from Lois Royo.

My experience @ Kastam office with this piece


Kastam officer : Encik... ini sex toy ar?

Me : Boss, ini takde lubang boleh pakai lar.

Kastam officer : *laughs* Ok. U mau declare under apa?

Me : Toys lor

*proceed to pay RM100*

thanx for the head's up! guess it must be Royo's art work that i am attracted to

Anyone has any idea where I can still get rogue premium format at retail price?

Hi Bro, what kind of toy you have? sorry I can't see it here.
RM100 charge?

I always order locally, unless I want an Exclusive version for certain statues.

Added on August 10, 2012, 2:05 pmSideshow still have some left. You can order direct. Or check with Shiok if they have extra.....

This post has been edited by laowai: Aug 11 2012, 09:58 AM

Yup it is the start of X Men collection and others! But only new orders as the older ones went up in price alot! Perhaps Spidey Com one day if I have the budget for this.

Joker look nice, waiting for this as well.

Better act fast.....Spidey com price been going up lately......it is an amazing piece
I just got poisoned by Joker PF and decided to buy......damn!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now waiting for my Skaar and Red Hulk to send to me from local shop.....can't wait

Still looking for a nice deal for Spidey Comm, anyone who want to let go theirs do let me know.

Oh yeah, spidey is definitely a keeper for me

Nice! Kinda of in nego wif one seller from the states to get the ex version for slightly more than 3k including shipping. Most exp collectible I ever get.... But it is the only prev released statue I want.

Waw!!! 3k? Seriously? Makes me wanna sell mine...kidding, it's a keeper. I know the price been going up and up, but I didn't expect it to reach 3k. I bet the shipping itself cost somewhere in US 100-120, right? It's a very big box.
Waw.....that's like the price of my Hulk PF when I got him years ago, and it will possibly be the last 3k that I will pay for a statue. Real killer.

Added on August 13, 2012, 1:10 pmOh by the way, here's a little poison of my Spidey commiquette:




This post has been edited by buggygil: Aug 13 2012, 01:10 PM

Yeah shipping is around $150 plus I guess I'm paying premium for the ex. Anyway having prob paying as paypal seems to restrict the payment.... So may end up not getting

Sharing is Caring.... hahaha

More spidy poison for you, Mr.YAK !

Wow, Buggygil, you bought a HULK PF AT 3k? That's a bargain!! Pls let me know if you ar going to sell it off anytime, I have a friend looking for it. PM me your asking price.

This post has been edited by skyler178: Aug 13 2012, 02:27 PM

Looks like I m getting the spidey since the deal went through. I have ask the seller to declare as gift so hopefully the kastam dun kacau. This is the craziest amount I ever pay for a collectible and prob the last as a salaried worker! May need to sell some stuff to recover some funds...

Nice spidey collection. I have HT spiderman as well which i got at preorder price.

Understand the hulk statue is going for usd2k, but personally i prefer the current avenger hulk.

LOL....Sorry, no plan of selling him at the moment....he is too awesome. To me, even the newly released Movie Hulk PF can't beat this statue......It's way too awesome

In fact, I could ask you the same question, if you are selling the spidey PF, which I could not find any, let me know.....always on hunt for Spidey PF.

---

Added on August 13, 2012, 4:41 pmIf I say I want to sell my spidey commiquette now, will you kill me ? LOL....just kidding....but I think paying that price for an Exclusive Spiderman Com comes worth it when you are dying to have one. I got my Hulk and Cap PF for 5k, 2 years ago, and yes it is a bargain.......

Anyway, Red Hulk and Skaar coming my way.....can't wait!!!

Added on August 13, 2012, 4:46 pmJust in case guys, I'm selling these spiderman statues and wondering if any of you want to buy:





This post has been edited by buggygil: Aug 13 2012, 04:46 PM

3K ...... aiya say earlier ma ... i sell u 2.5K u can summore check kaw kaw...btw wat is the exclusive item ar?

Sure boh 2.5k? Too bad I hav already buy. The ex is just a print which is no big deal for me.... Anyway no regrets since money can always be earn back.

Now to order Deadpool and Superman nex and hopefully done for this year.....

By the way want to ask fellow lowyat sifu is it ok to keep statue in the open ie on table or shelves and use feather duster to dust it occasionally?

sure....

not a sifu but I left a few in the open for 2 years now. Never dust it just use mouth and blow.

just received Syco Collectibles Mileena



kinda disappointing.. I thought my opinion would've change when they are all together..






kinda wish I knew about the 18" sonya sooner

finally get mine, really happy with it ~~

SON of the Hulk SKAAR








the sword is so huge lol



when Wolverine meet Skaar




Toys life.....Always To Be ConTinuE~~

Skaar PF has incredible details. Shiok has an Ex on display which is just jaw dropping@@

Nice hauls there fellow collectors

Keep it coming

Why don't you wait for PCS to release?

Another day of disappointment... didn't qualify the exclusive sagat preorder.... damn... to add salt to the wound, out of the lucky 85 buyers, 10 got the artist proof versions!

Oh well, its the regular sagat for me then.

With the limited no, likely only for friends, staff etc

Hi All, looking for mark 1 maquette. Anyone or know anyone?

Looks like chabo collecting also will run into space issue. I thought the only new line I am gonna start was the Gentle Giant Honey Trap line.
