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 like how shiok displays the latest ones these days ... best is always see in person rather than just pics.

I think for statue vs action figure, is quite clear. Action figure can move just about every part, from head to hands to feet etc.

For statue, even though these days got moveable hands eg emperor pf and maybe c3p0 pf, it's still quite stationary for most part of body

For me, i wont pay RM1xxx for hot toys unless its a vehicle.

Talking about iron man, this is my favorite but very exp

hehehe you dont know cif?

JLA is nice

Think bronze will be much more expensive, due to the material compared to usual polystone/plastic.

Bowen also got its own bronze series ... faux bronze.

What you need is these brackets .... get the contractor to install these. These can really take a lot of weight.

PCS next reveal of judge death



from this inspiration?

Think the problem is not the glass thickness. The glass is too long and there's not enough support in the middle parts ie. 2 pegs at the back are not going to hold the middle weights. Like I mentioned before, just get the metal brackets for middle part should be enough, even though it will not be nice looking but up to owner.





Yours? Congrats
