I would say neither friend

I love dioramas but don't love this one. Though that could change when it starts popping up in person. I know different tastes for different people. I do think it could compliment the HvW well depending on how you display them. Given that I don't love either, I'm also a fan of the cheaper cost.

Yeah it’s weird. Sometimes in person a piece you were on the fence with blows you away. It’s happened to me a few times. I love the PCS Venom but I don’t really collect 1/3 and it’s very expensive. I’ll stick with the diorama. I’d buy a 1/3 Thor or a legendary scale Boba Fett. A statement piece. But I’d probably only get one and make a stand for it.

I am the same way. My only 1/3 piece is PCS Lord of Darkness. He's an easy stand alone, statement piece. Not tempted to get any other 1/3 pieces TBH.

Yeah. 1/3 is insanely big. I don’t know how people collect them.

And I don’t know how people still can’t comprehend that at the end of the day having a lot of 1/4 scale statues takes up the same amount of space as having a low # of 1/3 scale. I’m a quality over quantity person.

I still remember the days when I could actually use all the rooms in my house before I went hard into 1/3 and 1/4 collecting...

Touchy. I meant nothing personal towards 1/3 collectors. Just wonder about the room they take up. They do not take up the same space. Maybe footprint wise but you can’t display as many because of the height. Also just because a piece is 1/3 doesn’t necessarily mean it’s higher quality than a 1/4 piece.

Plus the box space they need is insane! Never mind the shipping rates.
