The Spidey and GG art boxes are some of the best i've seen

Would be epic.

What do you guys do with your shipper and art boxes? I keep mine in my garage, all spare parts I keep inside in a foamed box.
Just curious. Never understood the love of the art box. Can't say I didn't dig the Spidey artbox. But it was just a cool perk when I first opened him up.

Mine are in the garage as well. If I could find a way to display the art boxes, I would.

Storage locker, and blocking my access to about 8000 comics.

Even though I have no intention of picking this up or getting a loan for Thanos, I don't think that Deadpool Heatseaker (if that's the one you are referring) is even in the Thanos league. Not to sound harsh, ok maybe a little, but Deadpool's EX is a selfie stick. A Selfie stick with a kissy face. And he's $700. Yeah I find it humorous in a twisted sort of way but will you feel the same after 1 year? 2? 3? And Deadpool merchandise is littered all over the internet sales sites. And yeah, so is Batman.

However, minus the silly and in the future gravitationally challenged leaning tower of chimichangas pose, it's got some nice details there and very dynamic. My point. Not in the same league as the art direction, detail, industry availability lacking, mad titan that is Thanos. And yes, still not buying him either.

That selfie stick is pure deadpool in my opinion. What makes deadpool a statement piece from SS is not the EX its all about the engineering that went into it. The rocket with the trails barely missing him behind his back, the way they were able to simulate the effect of the explosion on the base where the explosion is underneath, but you can see that clear aftershock membrane pushing out tiny pieces of the rock..some serious engineering went into that piece that i feel people are overlooking because it's SS and they dared to charge 700 for it.

I agree with you except for the art direction. The art direction of Thanos is good but the art direction on Deadpool is fantastic. Thanos is just sitting on a throne with his hand up. Deadpool has so much more going on with it with regards to art direction.

He is definitely awesome looking.
There was no "serious" engineering put into this. They use metal rods that act as rebar just like floors in a building or pad for a motor.

The art direction is fantastic!
