That's a very nice phoenix, must be a custom kit.

I'm assuming toonshoppe is in penang. Cheaper than XL ?

Ouch.. !!!! Jean Grey !!! I had 3 Jean's already (Bowen Jean Grey Jim Lee, Bowen Black Queen Jean Grey, Sideshow Jean Grey) ... Must stop thinking about her. Don't ask how and why I got them - supposed to come in different sequences but all came at once.

Toonshoppe : http://toonshoppe.net/ Pricing, I think it is the same. Anyway ordered local since can support the local business-mar.

I got a friend in KL, so I can ask him to pick it up for me like the DC Direct Adam Hughes DC CoverGirls I ordered from Mind Shop. Still waiting for Black Canary to fly in. As for Shiktoys, I think the shipping is free.

Which covergirls you bought? Mind shop have website to view? You order from US as well? I used to buy Bowen's statue from US.

Hehe.. I kinda contacted Alex @ Mindshop to pre-order the 3 items (guess which one?). DC Covergirls has several statues :-

1. Black Canary
2. Zatanna
3. Wonder Woman
4. Power Girl
5. Harley Quinn
6. Catwoman
7. Poison Ivy

Website of DC : http://www.dccomics.com/dcdirect/?cat=STATUES

PM to me if you want Alex's email address.

These ?

Yup, those 3. Not a fan of Power Girl and Catwoman. Those 3 already costs a lot. LOL !!!

This would make a good Chrismast Tree Decoration. Red & White & Snow...

Yes yes yes...and I need some cash for Christmas....LOL

@ RM500 each.

I like the face of catwoman.

Is there a price difference if using mind shop or kinokuniya? They charge markup right?

Not a bad price at all....RM500 include delivery?

Not sure about Kino, you got to ask. The tentative pricing is USD 99-99, so considering the FOREX at 3.60 it would be RM360-00. But then, I bet the price they purchased should be lower say 20-30%, so there should be substantial margin to earn from.

RM500-00 without shipping, it will be collected by my friend with the balance payment.

Ouch! You hurt my feelings buggygil... on that.

Probably you need to look at the centre pose or lower view, as the pic is viewing from bottom up.

LOL...Sorry about that bro...I look at some of her photos in eBay...Don't get me wrong, the pose and everything is great...Just that the way the sculpt the look, comparing to black canary and zatana......they look sexy. Hoestly, Powergirl looks not bad too....you should get all of them to complete your collection, include catwoman.
Still, 500 is quite a good price. Will try to bid on eBay and see how much I can get for black canary.

Hey, Shioktoys is on sale. Getting anything? Nothing much for me there....

Wow .... so the comic shop is taking quite a big margin just to order on your behalf.

Can't order direct from US or Singapore shops?

Really, the shipping cost is a killer, even from Singapore. So,normally I will bid for lower than retail price. 20-30%, don't think that much la. 10-20% maybe....Probably they got more margin on PVCs. Example, I saw re-ment in HK is almost hlaf the price in Malaysian retail.

Basically, the statue itself cost about USD100, as you know. The shipping is about USD40. Try to bid direct from eBay next time. But I don't guarantee 100% all good seller. But all this time, I only have one problem. Always ask for tracking number and Insurance, if you are buying expensive item.

KINOKUNIYA price is super inflated. Just look at their Japanese Books, all are at least 20%-40% mark up. If got the fresh 20% off baru match retail price. But you can't find any other shop that carries these books.

The Kotobukiya Ironman is selling near rm1k in Kino. Try Shioktoys or other speciality shop. Or use ebay might be cheaper.

BTW nobody fancy Black Widow from kotobukiya? Pretty neat though it's more plastic than statue.

Check out these new pics of Shades of Mordor exclusive. Very cool

Oh ya...the exclusive is with the Frodo, right? Nice..............

Nice from Bowen.
