Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Divo the rhyming demon, is that your meaning? (Had to look-up the character).

If my rhymes serve to describe the sublime(?), then I'm fine. Because i usually buy what I praise, so you can be sure it ain't no fake.

Never said I was Shakespeare, but it ain't that easy after just one morning cup, chased with a cold beer! (just kidding)

In truth, the rhyme is simply meant to impart more info in less time. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes swine, but it beats the whine every time.

just some fun, before the rising of the morning sun.

Without doubt, Thing needs a grittier, fist swinging re-visit. But so does Apocalypse, Namor, and yes HULK!!!

I'm praying for the mentioned four, & maybe a few more? Let's see how it all goes.

That would be cool.

The One, make that two, because you know i gotta agree with you!

Hulk all the way, because the Sideshow recent product run of late(?), will blow all other Hulk entries away.

Hold off, and wait for Sideshow's next HULK offering (I hope), as i suspect it will be awe inspiring. Why? Because right now, everything is on the line, Sideshow knows it, & can't afford to blow it. And they won't.

does anyone truly have a true, real and clear definition of the difference between what a maquette is versus premium format is....

I once thought it was mixed media items/inclusions versus not....

Magneto and Juggernaut blows that theory.......

I then thought it was about details in the bases, sculpt and more involved bases versus not so much......

Rogue and Nightcrawler blow that theory.........

then I thought it was a price point issue difference......

but again, cost-wise there are currently PFs that are the same prices as maquettes.....

so...........

I am confused.

People have been trying to determine the difference for ages now, but the only consensus seems to be that it's just something for marketing purposes that gets applied every so often, so there really is no difference from a premium format.

My view is..
Maquette = 1/4 scale statue.
Maquette = costs more than Premium Format ..just because?
