Thanks everyone!

Sadly with prices rising, I don't see too many new statues in my future. Hoping the next Tweeterhead 2.0 Batman is to my liking and a reasonable price.

I do have a few prints I want to get framed and finally put on the wall. My omnibus collection is a little out of control and that's going to mean a new bookcase soon, so still trying to figure out what to do about that.

@SONICobra - Glad to hear it! They were fun to build and still want to do something for the Avengers/Defenders shelf.

I can agree with scaling back because of the rising prices. Plus, I am just focusing on characters that are my absolute favorite. Even though Tweeterhead is producing fantastic pieces, the characters that have come out this year are not ones that I want.

Also, have about 3 or 4 Bowen's I need to get back.

I do have to say that the Avengers/Defenders shelf is my favorite. Not sure how many more statues you could fit on that shelf though. But doing an entire Defenders line up would be cool-you already have the Surfer and Daredevil. Adding Hellcat, Valkyrie, Classic Luke Cage and Moon Knight would look great (but some of those are pricey I have noticed).

I definitely would like to put Surfer in there, but would prefer the museum version. If I could ever find one for a reasonable price (which I'm sure would be by sheer luck) I'd pick it up, even the painted version.

The only other one for Defenders I would consider is Valkyrie. Reading those early issues I really understood her.

Yes, there's not much space. Even if I got rid of the villain busts there isn't much room and I hate a crowded shelf.

Which ones are you trying to get back? And I think you mentioned a few you wanted to get rid of.

Thanks! Possibly a new Batman next year.

Looking for the FS of the Wasp (blue and red outfit), Jocasta, and Quicksilver and The Falcon Mini bust. Possibly FF She Hulk. Now these would only be if I could get them at a good price.

But I do agree with you about a crowded shelf. When statues are hidden behind other ones looks bad.

looks like you really invested a lot of time and money on the setups

Which Quicksilver, blue or green?

I wouldn't mind having the Ant-Man Deluxe. Yet another really high priced statue that I'll probably never own.

It was mostly time which somehow I had more of back then. Most of the FF shelf was done with scrap materials I had and the rest was insulation foam and spray paint. I like making/creating things so it was fun for me.

I think I would prefer Blue for Quicksilver but if I could find Green for a good price I might pick it up. Other than the Jean Grey/Marvel Girl statue, no other Bowen statue I have is green and it would be a nice pop.

I can understand the Ant Man deluxe but any Hank Pym statue goes for quite a lot for some reason. If only Marvel treated the character as well.
