Thank you guys for the response and feedback. I ask because after seeing the new Dazzler PF and addressing the concept of the base (having had a connection to/with Galactus storyline from the comics) so I figured maybe there was a storyline that would touch on Batgirl with a crowbar and Clayface.

The only thing that comes to mind regarding a crowbar in Batman world is Joker/Robin.

I thought the artist already addressed the crowbar. I don't think there's any more meaning to it....

I'm too lazy to watch/pull any direct quotes, but feel free

The problem with many Sideshow pieces in general, is their total lack of connection to a specific event and artist. Many of their pieces are simply an amalgamation of various historical events, which are further deviated by the freedom that Sideshow gives their artists.

Whereas other manufacturers nowadays like Prime 1 have long based their pieces on well known events and actual comic book artists work.


That said, as Sideshow don’t allow themselves to be restricted by such things, it has allowed for them to produce some very interesting pieces; such as the recently released Poison Ivy Deadly Nature. It’s just that if you want comic book accuracy, Sideshow probably isn’t for you.

ended up ordering this piece because I had the entire balance of the figure in points about to expire due to SS new policy of expiring reward point system. Oh well, hope this piece turns out well.

One of these are mine.


And it’s a nice decent edition size.

I guess it was received quite well, even with peoples nitpicking regarding the base and crowbar.

Probably.


I wish I was in the same boat with regards to cost of collectables, but Sideshow sales are mostly useless to me, as even preordering from Popcultcha here in Australia will still be competitive to most possible sale prices if I were to incur the cost of importing.
