The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I fall into this category Haha. Never read any red Sonja books, i did watch the movie a lot as a kid, but i have no affiliation to the character. I just love the look and she goes with my medieval section. Also everyone that buys Court of the Dead statues falls into this category ass well ( I bought Kier )

I read a few RS comics for that very reason, same with DD, elektra and miles morales spiderman, well done statues have interested me in characters that i otherwise had no interest in.

I don’t ever read comics but love the art. Once I see a good statue I likeand have no clue who it is. I then go to you tube for 10 mins and listen to the entire story line. Then I’m all good and is now just as knowledgeable as most of us. Technology makes it so much easier now. As for x-23 really hope for a coh masked ex!

The "New Wolverine" X-23 series had it's ups and down, I have about 10 issues, she's got her own series now. There's a TPB crossover between X-23 and Daken that I want to get.
I admit I didn't like the character back when she premiered, but after the Logan movie I started to like her more and more.

I actually have to amend my previous statement. I have been reading the current RS run because I love Carlos Gomez's art. But i didnt buy it because it was a RS story.

Here is a link to a short Red Sonja story by Esteban Moroto and Neal Adams (along with Ernie Chau) you can read online.
as a bonus you can see a young Wendy (Elfquest) Pini cos-playing as RS, metal bikini and all.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

The 2 new X-23 issues are pretty great. Really worth picking up if any of you are interested. My 1st time reading this character's books.

You make it sound like hard work  Without the comics i'd have no interest in statues.

Star Wars got me into high-end collectibles, but that was when I started stumbling over all the Marvel mini-busts at my comic shop, and it took off from there. I've had a fiction-crush on Psylocke since the 90's and the Marvel / Capcom games, and have been a Daredevil fanboy since 1988, so I knew a few of those items would make their way to my shelves.
It was only it the last few years that I stumbled onto Deadpool, Deathstroke, Taskmaster and a few others, which have become some of my favorites, so I'd like to think my interests and collection grow together.
