Would have been getting this also. Unfortunately it fell victim to my collection trimming.

Trimming here as well but this just isn't trimmable. No way.

Kind of scared getting into the 1:1 bust scene as there seem to be a lot of flaws the bigger the pieces are. Preddy should be with me in one week or so. Then Frankie and Scarface (unless i cancel due to the flaws geto had on his...horrible QC)

Will team my SSE PF Frankie with the color life-size bust. Will make for a great display. Will try and get the SSE bust as well.

How soon after the regular editions does Sideshow offer the SSE variants? I've been holding off on purchasing one of these. Dracula keeps tempting me. I love the Frankenstein sculpt, and I think the B&W just looks killer on these.

Awesome piece, can't wait. Great pics. P1 congrats. did you use your Rebel XTI with a specialized lens for these pictures, or the Canon 30D? I bought a Rebel XTI in kit form with the EF-S 18-55 lens Canon includes and was curious.

hey MK, these pics were taken with the XTI using a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro lens. congrats on the XTI! you'll love that camera! :thumbs2:

btw, all of my pics will have the EXIF info imbedded in it so you can tell which camera i'm using.

It kind of looks like they were trying to do some weird effect with the paint. I think it's normal but I guess we'll see as the pics start rolling in....not from me unfortunately though. :(

One of these things just doesn't belong here...come on can you tell which one? DRACULA IS WAAAAAAAY out of scale with Frankenstein and the Mummy. I have him, and he's cool...but he's stinking huge compared to the other two. Wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Mike Hill sculpted Mummy and Frankenstein and Miles Teves sculpted Dracula? Nothing against Mr. Teves...it looks like someone went back in time and ripped Lugosi's face off...it looks just like him. But its just outta scale with the other two. Plus he kind of looks a little bored and not as scary as he could.
