Default So, what are your collection goals?

For me I want to finish getting the statues for phases 1 & 2 and then get a few from 3 and 4.

I also want to get some of the older Bowen Designs statues that RB sculpted prior to the ‘Marvel Age’.

The rest of my collection is going to be made up of the Hard Hero X-Men Maquettes, CS Moore statues, some DC Maquettes and a few Joy and Tom Studio/Reel Art pieces.

With only ‘X’ amount of room I really can’t haul off and try and complete 100% of everything that has come out. I am actually starting to box up some of my old Vinyl models. Phase 4-4.5 was the end of my completist goals.

Not that I don’t like what is coming out, I just found that I don’t have the room for everything.

Really, I don’t have the room

I plan on eventually completing my Bowen MBs, then tackling the Gentle Giant Star Wars MBs. I'm also going to pick up a Bowen FS here and there.

There are roughly 20 FS statues I need to complete my wants of already released statues. I'm not in a rush to get these so I just pick them up whenever I see a good deal and happen to have the money for it.

The top five I want are:

DEADPOOL
APOCALYPSE
SABRETOOTH
DARK PHOENIX
LOGAN

Aside from picking these up I want to work on converting my garage into a man cave/ display room. Then at some point, I'd like to get back into collecting Star Wars stuff, Sideshow and Gentle Giant mainly. (Sorry Hasbro your time has passed!) That's about it for the foreseeable future.


Why wait until tomorrow when you can buy it today!

That's an excellent FS list! They are some of the main ones I would love to get.... especially the Logan FS.

Mine is commissioned art right now. Anxiously awaiting the Portland and ECCC shows. Plus I have commissions on their way from several artists.

After that, some Star Wars busts, and some Bowen busts that I had to cancel.

Anything X-23.

Yeah, and it will only set me back about $1300.00 give or take. I have 40 MBs and keep contemplating selling them. If I do, that will probably pay for these FS, and maybe one or two others. MBs don't really hold their value, not that that matters, except if you want to sell them. So... we'll see.

Let me know if you ever do decide to sell them off. I'm sure you have a few that I may need and I'd be glad to help you out.... and basically help myself out

Sure thing John! I only have X-Men related MBs, so let me know what you're looking for. That might get the ball rolling.

I've bought every piece I wanted at this point.. anything more is bonus.

Ah.. that's as far as statues are concerned. Commissioned art and acquiring pages is something I'll never tire of, although my gallery and office walls will, since I tastefully frame every piece and try and get 'em up asap (haven't framed all my stuff as of yet, and more's always incoming.. haha.. whoops).

Anything more just hasn't been released yet.

I am a star wars statue nut first and foremost. But I am very close to finishing off my daredevil display. Just need the Sideshow bust (red exclusive) and it will be good to go.

I am also on the hunt for both original surfer statues and am hoping their value will decrease a bit when the faux bronze comes out.

My goal is to only get the Adam Hughes, Mark Brooks and the other females they start in the comiquette line. I have some DC stuff like the Cover Girls, which I will be a completest on and the Women of the DC Universe Bust line. I am really waiting on that one perfect Storm Statue/Comiquette along with Ms. Marvel.

My goal is to make enough money someday, where I don't have to think twice about buying something I want to add to my collection.
