I’m really torn between this and Black Widow. Don’t really care for the exclusive for either of them. First time I’ve really had a make a tough decision like this one.

I'm torn between many pieces at the moment. For the moment i'm on a self imposed hiatus. It's proving tough. The cracks are starting to be felt. Only the other day i almost ordered Black Widow. Today i nearly ordered Red Sonja. Then there was a piece on ebay i spotted (today also). For the moment, i'm staying strong

Give it 4 weeks, when my Sideshow points convert. I'm going to get a new piece!

/..or a new Hot Toy
//..or an art print. I love the new The Walking Dead print


This would look great behind my 3x Gentle Giant Walking Dead 1/4 pieces.

I was in a similar situation. I went with Black Widow as she fits in with a line I'm currently assembling.

@ukshaun, It's a shame the way The Walking Dead has gone down hill the last few seasons. Otherwise I would have been all over that print.

Season 6 and 7 were excellent. I have Season 8 on pre order (arrives on Blu-ray in the UK next month)
I've read both plus and negatives on Season 8

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

It really isn't exactly clear when you first look at it which way she goes. At least, it wasn't for me. I certainly started trying to put her on backwards, but I quickly saw it was wrong.

I will be nervous if I ever have to take this one apart, though. It is nerve wracking trying to minimize that gap where the leg attaches. I think it is so tight that it will be a pain to separate again.

With some of these statues - not really this one - I am amazed that no instructions are included. Given the price, it seems odd that I am having to eyeball the box or bring up Sideshow's production pics to figure out what position some things go in. Prime 1 includes instructions, but I didn't even solve one of those puzzles once (the various metal rods/holes were color coded on the bottom or around the holes - I found out after I tried fitting one in that ended up being too tight and snapping off when I tried removing it.).

My Aspen required a ton of pressure to join the leg together. I do wonder if Aspen would break if i had to separate the join to re box. Since i am planning on moving some time soon, I might have to transport Aspen as is, un_boxed.

I actually got curious on this.. When i assembled i pushed some to close the gap hopefully to no avail. Was wondering the same thing this weekend i took it apart to inspect it. It actually came apart easily, no resistance..

Got #13/2000 and damn a part of the glass was separated from the base. I could probably fix it but gonna take it to the store I bought it from and have them talk to sideshow.

So torn between this and Red Sonja. I will probably end up getting neither as money is an issue but it sure would be nice if there were more pictures in this thread.
