I will kind of 4th that... I'd still prefer 1/6 with a few 1/4 sprinkled in but It's looking like maybe one of each per year at these prices. And as for the mini busts... I love to add them to displays.

That's what I'm talking about...those busts add dimension to the setup. Nice.

Great setup

I have to disagree with all the comments about the busts. They look incredible to me and were the pieces that put BD on the map (heck, created the map). And his were the true busts (def: a sculpture of a person's head, shoulders, and chest.). Those with arms are Half-statues

There are wonderful armless bust and crappy full size statues. I have some armless busts, like the first Cap or the half Spidey half Parker, with which I'd never part. And the integrate with FS statues just great depending on the setup.

Yup...the first phase armless red skull has one of the greatest head sculpts of any piece, period. Kirby in 3d...love it.

That Thanos is the worst realization of the bust form I've ever seen just because of the "stubs". There are countless better ways to present it without arms.

Well I have yet to see any Eternals or Celestials.

I'd agree it's not the best bust but I love him for many reasons. It was the first statue I ever got and was a gift from my (now) wife. It's Thanos who is my favourite. And you can tell it was made before 3D computer modeling. It is hand sculpted, hand painted, and just seems so authentic.
