Thats what I'm hoping as well. Ray's work has given me something to be excited about when it comes to DC product. Before him I rarely ever bought anything from DCD. If it were to be one or the other I'd rather see him continue with DC. Marvel gets enough attention as it is.

In 3 weeks I'll be freelance again and have already talked to SS. Hopefully doing some cool stuff for them this year
cannot wait to see you return to Sideshow.I hope they tie you to a chair there and never let you leave their studio! of course they can let your family stay with you and stuff .

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

I'm not even sure if, scale-wise, the Spider-Man Vs. Hulk would be "bigger". Definitely, Hulk is massive in that statue, as he should be, but do you think Spider-Man is the same scale as Batman in this piece?

Yeah, the recent Sideshow dios are not that big, but the prices are pretty high. I would probably pick up their Indiana Jones/Mola Ram dio if it were at DCD prices. But, with Sideshow selling it for a whopping $300 and it appears to be in the same scale (if that) as this Batman Vs. Croc piece... I currently have the $300 Snake Eyes dio on order and will have to see if I can justify keeping it... especially when I glance over at this amazing Batman Vs. Killer Croc and remember I paid $162... I'm sure I can forgo the exclusives on some of these Sideshow pieces and get them discounted, but even after discounts, they will be way more expensive than $162.

But, this is what people are talking about when they wish DCD would start doing pieces involving some of their 2nd/3rd tier characters - Sideshow does pieces like that with a way lower ES and charges more. For some odd reason, it seems that the general perception is that DCD is overpriced and Sideshow/Bowen are some kind of great deals. If someone can convince DCD to do a Mister Miracle Vs. Steppenwolf dio, maybe they can do an ES of 500 and charge you $300, too.

This is way bigger than that WW piece. It is larger than the latest SS dio's.

It looks just slightly smaller than the X-Men Vs. Sentinel. I just posed it with the Wolverine from that and if Wolvie is 1/6th Batman looks like he is 1/7 1/8th at the worst.

Like I said in my previous post Bulls I was pretty surprised as to how big this one is. Definately larger than the other DCD Vs. pieces.
