Waiting for my headliner

spy-d · July 11th, 2012, 05:32:12 AM

So i get a shipping notice from my comic book statue dealer...he tells me my statue is on its way.

I don't have enough display space in my house to display everything i have, so i rotate my display every so often.

With the release of the movie, and the statue on its way, here is my latest set up. no need to give the punchline since its pretty obvious who's missing (hint: red/blue leaping of wall, and full of nemisis debris on base.)

P.S. so excited to get this one! This is the first time i ever posted a collections pic. wow, what a coincidence, my user ID phonetically spells the hero I admire most!

beautiful set-up you got there

are you planning on displaying him on the top middle? or are you going to do some re-arranging when you receive him?

i hope to see some pics after he arrives

lucky you to get these

Cool, clean and crisp...just like 7-Up but way cooler...!

You're set up is how I'd like to set my Hulks...looking forward to seeing your centerpiece...!

Wow very nice! Looks like you're only missing like 6 major Spidey villains and you've got them all! Ones missing that come to mind are Hobgoblin, Rhino, Shocker, Chameleon, Morbius, and Hydro-Man. (7 if you wanna throw in Kingpin). Very nice display! I was going to get all the Spidey villains but I've decided to draw the line at Spidey, Venom, and possibly Carnage. Might get Black Cat and MJ for kicks. But awesome display!

Great display!

thx for the compliments my fellow members.

btw...did anybody notice the iron spiderman statue? it is a 1 of a kind commissioned piece. my sculptor was also working w/ randy bowen to see if it could get picked up, but i wasn't in on the discussion so i don't know the details. obviously it didn't work out.

randy provided some art direction on the sculpt...he asked for the mechanical arms to go for a more "organic" look and the positioning of cap's shield and iron man's helmet.

so it counts as "half" a bowen piece in my eyes.

NICE!! Love those Spider Baddies, everytime I watch the old Spidey (60's) cartoon, my childhood favorite, I just wish I had all those Crook's together!!

Can you post a separate pix of your Iron Spidey? I am intrigued.

here ya go! The spider man was based on the michael turner cover. I think the best angle is the 3/4 view....showing front and back and some closeup shots. From what I understand, Randy Bowen gave guidance to my sculptor on the design of the mechanical arms and placement of shield and helmet. Was trying to get this picked as a bowen piece, but I guess things didn't work out.

spy-d · July 19th, 2012, 01:40:42 AM

MY HEADLINER CAME IN! WOOHOO!

**Smashdaddy** · July 19th, 2012, 01:46:40 AM

Congrats...!

Did you make a topper for your detolfs? If so I REALLY like it. It ties them together while being unobtrusive.

Great display you have. I LOVE IT!

Thx for the compliments...not sure what you meant by topper, but I didn't make anything specific.

One thing I did do is remove the glass panels between the detolfs...look at the pics...you can see the empty "slits" on the base and as well as the top wooden panels. The reason I did this is so I can accomodate more statues non display. Each "row" can hold 6-8 pieces without the glass being in the way! I had other setups in the past where i took advantage of this. the current "spidey" setup doesn't need it though...

Love your display and that Iron Spidey is sweet!

**predator31** · July 19th, 2012, 07:47:55 AM

That set up is awesome

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Looking closer, it looks like you just have a piece of molding connecting the tops of the detolfs. If so it looks really nice from the angle of your pictures.

Looks fantastic! Great job.

oh ok, i see what you are talking about....yes, I added a molding! Good eyes!

When I removed the glass panels, it created more space, but the detolfs were more wobbly. so the molding helped stabilize it. =)
