[Bowen or Bust]

I would love to have that Iron Man !!

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=dianekamahele-auction&source=071807news#marvel

[Bullseye]

I'm assuming you all noticed the new Wolverine Bust. Looks awesome. I would like the MJ and Balrog.

[ilas]

I wouldn't mind that Iron Man since it lights up.

But I would guess that it will sell for $3,000 - $4,000

That Balrog would probably for $5,000


Yep, noticed the Wolverine. They are offering an Pre Production sample in the auction as well.

[patrickwm68]

Some of the product details don't match the item.

I like that Legedary Wolverine Bust and the Iron Man with the light-up eyes.

[alejandro175]

Iron Man all the way. :buttrock:
I predict that item will be the highest sell. Come on man, only two and the other belongs the Robert Downey Jr. It's going to be an all out brawl for this piece!!!

And yes, I'm going for it baby, YEAH MAN:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[rilynil]

That Iron Man is incredibly sweet. And to think that Robert Downey Jr. is the only other person on the planet with one! Wow!

[sheople]

That Iron Man is SICK!!!

[ilas]

Some of the product details don't match the item.

I like that Legedary Wolverine Bust and the Iron Man with the light-up eyes.



And it LOOKS like the gloves are all RED and NO GOLD. And that the gloves sort of look like they light up as well. :eek:

[Gruson]

Iron Man is by far the coolest of them.

Go for it P1!

[ilas]

Iron Man is by far the coolest of them.

Go for it P1!

I was thinking the same thing :D

[cap70]

That's pocket change for Ed!
C'mon Ed, grab it! Only you and Robert Downey Jr!

[High Lord Apocalypse]

that iron man is so fukin cool!!! that is gonna bring in so much cash!!! i hope someone here wins it so we can get loads of pics!!!!

looks like the eyes, gloves and chest light up!!!!

[cap70]

Oh, and while you are at it, grab that Wolvie bust to your friend here! lol :thumbs2:

[P1X4R]

you know i'm thinking about it in the back of my mind but i'll leave it up to a bigger high roller. i'm just small time here. :) thanks for thinking so highly of me though. lol :laugh:

[BigLeagueChu]

gotta have that iron-man :buttrock:

[High Lord Apocalypse]

if you're not going after it p1 maybe yexel will snipe that auction cuz thats one of few things he doesn't have.

[swim]

I'll try 2,000 for Iron man. Don't think I'll get it. :( Will have to see other items. Cool that SS is doing this.. Let the battle start.

[Gruson]

Come on, get it!


Ed! Ed! Ed! Ed! Ed!!!!!!!!

:)

[High Lord Apocalypse]

i'll go upto $3500 for it but thats it. i'll make my own and then there'll be 3 people that owns one of those!!

[cap70]

DO IT FOR THE FORUM, ED!!!!


:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Colossus]

That Balrog would probably for $5,000


Yep, noticed the Wolverine. They are offering an Pre Production sample in the auction as well.

Iron Man will go for way more than the balrog guarnteed

[Colossus]

I so bad wanna go for that Iron Man I just know that it might be a fight between me and the wife. I might do it though and use the I will sell some extras off as a bargaining chip.

[High Lord Apocalypse]

Iron Man will go for way more than the balrog guarnteed

i agree and that balrog won't go over $4000.00 i think. the iron man however has the highest potential in all that stuff.

[swim]

i'll go upto $3500 for it but thats it. i'll make my own and then there'll be 3 people that owns one of those!!




Dam! Outbid already :bawling: Have to pay for the CM statues coming.. :tounge:

[ColinS]

Who thinks the entire lot will reach $40000 or more??

[JSA]

I'm seriously pondering that Iron Man.....and several others....

What JS wants, JS (hopefully) gets!

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2424/batvamphead4ul4.jpg < cheese!

[Daxion]

I wanna go ahead and throw my guesses out there...


$10k+ for Iron Man
$4-5k for Balrog
$2-3k for CaveTroll
$2k - RingWraith
$1-2k - Scarface
$2k - Darkness
$1k - Wolverine
$1k - Morgul Lord
$1k - Simaritan

everything else will be under 1k

[Ridimous]

I wished there was a Hulk Statue :bawling: Good Luck to everyone and Diane's children.

[k-9]

i'm definately bidding on iron man!

it will be mine.:buttrock:

and i dont care how much it costs me.:eplus2:

[Domer]

Does this Iron Man come without the painting error?

[ecthelion]

for 5-10k? of course not!
:banghead:

[geto10]

Damn, this is so exciting! :D Will bid on most of them, but my chances are low :laugh:

Hey, why didn't SS wait with the auctions until like September - October when people are back from their vacation and have saved up a bit of cash. :)

[darthmatrix]

Thats some great looking stuff and the money for its gonnna go towards a good cause....damn I want that IM(but i'm sure everyones thinking that)

[hulkpitt]

I wished there was a Hulk Statue :bawling: Good Luck to everyone and Diane's children.

The news letter did say there would be a couple of announcements at the comic con so there could be a hulk after all.

I may try for the Ironman.... but at 10k I would have to think about it very hard (and probably chicken out).

[overkill]

I wanna go ahead and throw my guesses out there...


$10k+ for Iron Man
$4-5k for Balrog
$2-3k for CaveTroll
$2k - RingWraith
$1-2k - Scarface
$2k - Darkness
$1k - Wolverine
$1k - Morgul Lord
$1k - Simaritan

everything else will be under 1k

Good guesses, pretty much the exact same guesses i made. I disagree on the darkness piece. I say no more than $1000. Also the Morgul lord wont break $600.

As for Iron man I know im bidding. I will go for $3000 to $4000 but thats it. I know i wont even come close

[cougartrace]

what's most important is that all the money that is earned goes to a good cause :buttrock:

[k-9]

hey overkill,what happens if you won at 4k...would you have to cancel other lovely stuff you have on order?

and would it be worth it for a couple of lights?

[ilas]

Does this Iron Man come without the painting error?

Yes, from the looks of the pic.

[ilas]

what's most important is that all the money that is earned goes to a good cause :buttrock:

I have to agree with you. That is the most important thing.

[k-9]

if i dont win the ironman i'm making an un-announced
visit at robert downey juniors house:banghead:

[adee]

if i dont win the ironman i'm making an un-announced

lol I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he'll put it up on ebay.

Great stuff, good cause. good luck to those bidding :thumbs2:

Remember that whatever you buy could be listed as a charitable donation, and therefore tax deductible. :)

You really want that IM huh?

I can assure you it will go for more than $4000. I won't be bidding on anything though because there is no way I have that much cash just floating around. All the best of luck...this will be insane!

i'm a sucka for flashing lights:)

so GR how much do you think i'll need to win this beauty.

[woodsy]

I would think you could commission a really good model builder to customize an existing IM, lights included, for a fraction of the cost :)

[RD13]

Might bid on a couple of Marvel items.........will see

[GangstaRoranous]

i'm a sucka for flashing lights:)

so GR how much do you think i'll need to win this beauty.

I think $5000+ will make this bad boy yours. You have to remember that a lot of people will feel better about spending their hard earned cash because it's for charity. They will feel less selfish because they are giving back a little.

Remember an ES of 2 means this is your only chance!:thumbs2:

[P1X4R]

i actually did that once for the Christopher Reeve foundation but i never got my receipt.

if i did get it at 6k imagine the import duties/taxes
i'd have to pay in the u.k.!!!:banghead: :bawling:

[Underdog07]

Does "departed" mean she passed away or left the company?

only the amount not related to what you receive is tax deductable - since these pieces will be worth quite a bit, most likely is not tax deductable.

If, for example, you bid $40k on an empty box worth $1, then $39,999 would be tax deductible.

Could you tell the IRS it's worth a "little more" than the IM Exclusive retail price? Then deduct the difference?

[Johnneeukca]

Not a chance in hell I could actually afford any of the items they're auctioning. Although I will be interested in seeing what they bring when re-auctioned on EBay.

[BOSCO]

Does "departed" mean she passed away or left the company?


UD,She passed away last December.Heart failure i think,and only 42:(

[overkill]

hey overkill,what happens if you won at 4k...would you have to cancel other lovely stuff you have on order?

and would it be worth it for a couple of lights?

I would definetly have to tighten the belt a little or work a boatload of overtime. Either that or my daughter isnt going to college.

[Kujo]

Man, i'd love that Balrog... i can't even afford a normal one, never mind an artist proof

[k-9]

i might pass on the ironman..its going to be way expensive and go for the ringwraith on steed ap.

a most impressive piece and shouldn't be as expensive as IM light up.

[swim]

Good guesses, pretty much the exact same guesses i made. I disagree on the darkness piece. I say no more than $1000. Also the Morgul lord wont break $600.

As for Iron man I know im bidding. I will go for $3000 to $4000 but thats it. I know i wont even come close


would be cool for the family to raise that much. I don't want to give up on the Iron Man but it's going to get high. SS should release 100 units at $700-800 a pop.

[Kujo]

i might pass on the ironman..its going to be way expensive and go for the ringwraith on steed ap.

a most impressive piece and shouldn't be as expensive as IM light up.

Ringwraith on Steed is still my favourite LotR's statue. Captures the character perfectly.

good luck getting the AP

[P1X4R]

DO IT FOR THE FORUM, ED!!!!


:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

LOL. now now. please sit down Legolas. :laugh:

That would be the grail of grails!

While that is true, how do you value an item with an ES of 2? I'd point the IRS to the SS website where Ironman is shown with a $250 retail.

$5k (estimated)-$250= $4,750 deductible...

[vetteman]

Does "departed" mean she passed away or left the company?
I imagine she died. It says it's a memorial auction. Why would they do a benefit like this for someone who quit? ;)

[Johnneeukca]

This won't be sideshow cash. I think it's to help her family. http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?page_id=2402

[vetteman]

Doing this would cause a red flag and most likely cause an audit. You better have all the info and you better be clean on the last few years of your return also.

[patman]

Remember that whatever you buy could be listed as a charitable donation, and therefore tax deductible. :)

proceeds won't be tax deductible, as neither Sideshow nor the account being established for the children have charitable status.

[patman]

fly over to the US and pick it up yourself. then place it in your hand carry. ship the box empty. that way, you are assured that it gets home in 1 piece and customs might actually miss them since they are in separate pieces. :thumbs2:

go for it man. was willing to bid $2500 to $3000 for it but judging from what people are quoting for it, i will be outbid very early on.

[overkill]

What i dont understand is why people are willing to pay more for an AP. The ONLY diffference is that instead of a number on the bottm it has 2 letters. The statue is the exact same thing.

[taizo99]

think ill keep an eye on I.M , but why cant ss produce item as good as this to start with . i think the lights would have been better exclusive than tony stark head

[woodsy]

i'm very tempted to go for it..1 minute i think yes,then the next i think of bankrupsy..choices,choices?

i'll have to wait and see how impressive the light up feature is!!!

[titan7170]

did anybody notice that Ironmans eyes light up too!:eek:

[toe]

did anybody notice that Ironmans eyes light up too!:eek:

eyes, chest, and arms

I was also hoping for the ground to light up but I don't think it does.

[Ink]

SS needs to start with their QC first before producing things like this. Would it not suck to win this & have it come broke?

[BigLeagueChu]

They should take care before sending stuff to customers.

Absolutely, their QC has really taken a nosedive the last few years.

[Jameshowlett]

Alright, anyone know what the difference is on the Wolverine?? Is it the exact same as what they will be offerring? I read the auction and I couldn't find any info regarding any features that won't be available.
Domer?

[Jameshowlett]

it already is.( i mean the ebay one)

I checked it already, just wondering when its coming out. I dig it, especially the mask hanging and his shoulder pads.

[Jameshowlett]

I'll try 2,000 for Iron man. Don't think I'll get it. :( Will have to see other items. Cool that SS is doing this.. Let the battle start.

Good show, but I think it'll fetch in the 3's at least.

[Domer]

C-mon I did, and I just read it again, I know that this is one of a kind and I'm not trying to diminish it it anyway, but will this have a feature that WILL NOT be availabke on the others when they are released? or wil they all look like this ?

I've had small and large imperfections in more then 6-7 SS pieces in a row, where not one of them were unique :confused2

That aside, i'll definitely bid on a few of them. Good cause, good items.

$3000 already for the Iron Man! :D

[robomorph]

I think the threat of 'a few imperfections' might just put the brakes on a runaway selling price for the Iron Man comiquette. In Sideshow language, 'imperfections' can equate to some pretty serious flaws. It'll probably go over 5k before too long though.

What burns me is that they issued over 1000 editions of this statue with the wrong-colored gloves, and the only way to get a correctly painted one is to bid on a prototype at auction!

Good luck to board members who bid. :thumbs2: I won't be competing.

i saw how they tried to tell us that sideshow imperfection are the "charm" of these rare items and decided not to bid on a single one of those.

hope the iron man won't come with a missing head.

OK, then there will be another color scheme with working ligths. Maybe gold/red?

man, this thing is going up really fast. first time i looked, it was already past $3000 i upped my bid ceiling but it didn't even register!

i guess i will just use my money trying to customise a regular IM. ;)

oh well. it will be fun to watch how high this thing will go and when the bids will slow down. maybe we should start a poll on what we think will be the winning bid.

in any case, congratulations to the future winner.

But Robert Downey Jr. owns the only other one in existence! Still, if I pay $18,000 for anything, it better have four wheels and a kicka$$ stereo system. :laugh:

But owning one of the only two Iron Man statues in existence is incredibly cool. :buttrock:

[Tetragrammaton]

Yeah, he could have bought world peace or a rainbow.

:banghead:

after we go see Robert Downey Jr and Stan the man

Is this happening as part of the auction?

[Zer0]

Why would anyone pay 18k for that? No offense but wow there are much better things to spend your money on. Charity auctions are always less about the auction and more about the charity.

At that price, it likely was not simply about owning a statue.

What the winning bidder really bought was a decent shot at a good future for three kids who would probably much rather have their mother back... the statue was more like a gift for doing such.

[Statuesque Fellow]

That Iron Man is incredibly sweet. And to think that Robert Downey Jr. is the only other person on the planet with one! Wow!

As if he gives a fig about it. He's probably already handed it off to a nephew or friends kid :D :D

[Statuesque Fellow]

Why would anyone pay 18k for that? No offense but wow there are much better things to spend your money on.

it's an incredibly bad investment at that price. Whoever is buying it is extremely foolish.

[Zer0]

it's an incredibly bad investment at that price. Whoever is buying it is extremely foolish. Or not interested in it as an investment....

[Daxion]

Or not interested in it as an investment....

I doubt someone buying this statue for 18k even thought about reselling....

The director was probably jealous he wasn't given one also on the first day of shooting...so of course he had to get the other one.

[Statuesque Fellow]

Or not interested in it as an investment....

'a fool and his $$....'

[Zer0]

Clearly, someone who drops $18,000 on a SideShow statue isn't really all that concerned with the hit to their wallet.

Someone like that likely has real investments.

Anyway, like I said before, in an auction like this, it's about the charity, not the item up for bid.

[Tetragrammaton]

What an idiot! He could have just repainted a Stealth and had exactly the same thing for under 1K.

[Ridimous]

my friend won it

He's my new friend too. :)

Anyway, like I said before, in an auction like this, it's about the charity, not the item up for bid.

first, how rich they are aside, if they had any financial sense or savvy at all they wouldn't just be throwing their $$ at something like this willy nilly. They're spending like Steve Martin from The Jerk. And like his character, they won't hang onto their cash in the long term. People who have $$ due to wise investing don't blow it on this sort of crazy impulse buy. Collectibles and hobbies, sure, but there are items of history, signifigance, and value, and then there's the Iron Man prototype

As to the charity point...there are MUCH better and worthier charities if that is someone's motivation.

[Statuesque Fellow]

I wonder if their 30 day return policy applies to this? Someone's going to have some hardcore buyers remorse :laugh: :laugh:

[Statuesque Fellow]

Anybody knows a good painter?

someone made a good point in another thread, that the individual pieces would need to be painted pre-assembly.

[Zer0]

This is a very silly, somewhat moot, and very hypothetical point to debate.

You can't put how wealthy the person may be aside, because that's a major factor.

Clearly they weren't making an investment by buying the statue at $18,000; they did it because they wanted to. And part of having that kind of money means you can essentially do just that, without having to ponder the financial ramifications.

Also, who's to say that this cause is any better, or any worse than any other, in the realm of charity auctions? That's an extremely relative point of view.

Anyway, like I said, the point's fairly moot, because we have no idea what the winner's finances are like, nor what their motivation for bidding so high was.

True. $18K was probably just pocket change. I'm envy the winner of the statue. If I had the money, I would tried and got it also.

[Tetragrammaton]

Maybe the winner intends to flip it for 19K.

[Ridimous]

The Stealth looks good as is anyways. Why the hell did SS had to make just 2?! Talk about exclusive.

One man's change is anothers treasure....it's all relative.

[bradolson]

Everyone's talking like it's bought and paid for. Until I see positive feedback posted I'll remain only cautiously optimistic for the outcome of this transaction. I don't want to bust anyone's (friends) chops, but this IS a buyer with a 4 week old identity and 9 feedback (all of which hit around the $15 or less mark for CD's & DVD's). I've been burned for much less by people with MUCH better profiles than that! For the sake of the charity auction I sure hope it pans out. :thumbs2:

[speedracer]

You guys also forget that it could be one of dianes friends..who is trying to do a good thing and the price of the stat is only secondary...=)

[redspider]

Yeah, he could have bought world peace or a rainbow.

no it's something am putting together

[devlinboy]

its a nice tax write off too isnt it?

[polystoner]

its a nice tax write off too isnt it?

No, it isn't. The fund is not a 501(c)(3) organization, because 501(c)(3) can't be established to benefit an individual(s). Doesn't mean the cause is not a charity, only means it is not tax-deductible.

So if the winner has money to give to charity like that, I am sure he/she made sure of the status first.

I didn't know it either till I took a job as a director of a non-profit. I'm begging rich guys for money all the time, so I gots to edumacate them on the benefits of parting with their "hard earned" and/or "ill-gotten" cash.
