at 26" I thought it would be much more too, practically a bargain!

I think people get too caught up in scale. If you have the money, then why not buying a statue for how awesome it looks and not how tall it will look next to other statues? My collection is so large and varied, that I think anyone can admire it for how I creatively displayed. I can display statues, busts, action figures, art and comics in a room and people will call it a museum quality display. I get complimented all the time for having a wide range of collectibles. To stick to one scale to me is just flat out boring.

I have all types of scaled statues at home. The only thing that is missing from my collection are Bowen statues. I refuse to buy them, not because of scale but the price BD is asking for them.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

I'm agree with you. I also have several scales but I was just seeing if it will look smaller than Thor, then probably it will required to be displayed separate one from the other. Anyway I thing that this Destroyes is a must have statue

I don't have any bowens, used to, but the quality is so so for me, some are great, but pricey for the size. But I do have other statues in 1/6 a few smaller, not many, but they are my least favorite scale, and most ignored.

Nah buy what you like, if the scale doesn't bother you go for it.

There is no such thing as being too caught up because it's a conscious decision in the direction of your collection display. I've been reading comics since I was a kid and just like I find those Bowen displays with everything in scale pretty cool and I'm thinking they would look awesome in 1/4 scale too and I can't afford to fit everything without it getting cluttered so I save a ton of cash on this 1/5 scale stuff. To you it may be boring, but then again everyone is different : )

I see everything and appreciate them separately. If the scales match up, that's just a bonus.

Even though I was bitter for legacy not bringing out that big boy destroyer I stil think at 26 inches in height this will sought after in the future it looks to be a great sculpt though in hand pics should be killer
