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....

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.

QUOTE(buggygil @ Aug 4 2012, 12:02 PM) 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 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?

QUOTE(vavavoom @ Aug 9 2012, 11:34 AM) 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.

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.

Looks like my spidey order got cancled. The seller told me too pricy to ship here so if any letting go theirs let me know. Looking for good condition ones without the paint app prob let me know.

Minor flaw I can accept. Pretty rare to get flawless item since these are mass produced.
