would you buy a 1:5 diorama

Another forum member bought this up on another thread, and I was wondering if there was actually a market out there for these items.

I don't think there is for a number of reasons: size; weight; price shipping costs to name a few.

Tick as many as you want

1/4 or bigger for me!
So not interested.
Sideshow lost me on the new Predators maquette line.

Yes but, to ease the high cost they could take note of Koto's design for the F4 pieces they are doing. Make each character separately and have the bases fit together. Or in some cases have a removable limb that allows you to attach one figure to the other.

No. It's an oddball size condsidering that 1/6, 1/4 and 1/3 dominate both licensed and garage kit scenes.

The Thanos/Mistress Death Dio is 1/5 scale....and I'm down for the EX, so I guess that's a yes for me....

The one disappointment on the X-Force Dio was the size IMO.
