Happy for you.

Regarding you question, to sum it up.

The light-up saved this piece with Sideshow also "protecting" the sculptors. Nevertheless, looking nice with the light-up = NOT a statue. It oozes a strong TOY-ish vibe or better said a DECORATIVE item that light ups and you can buy for 40 bucks in some stores.

Bravo to Sideshow for saving face though and "protecting" her sculptors but this sculpt is the worst GR sculpt EVAH, licensed or custom. EVAH

Looking nice with the light-up simply makes this a toy and not a statue.. A nice toy that lights up to show your teenage friends and amaze them.

This is NOT artsy. This is toy-ish and the light-up makes it even worse, at least for me, an ART lover.

Case closed.

Now also close the thread and move on, guys.

A friend of mine got this the other day and I had a chance to check it out. In person it is stunning. The regular statue is fantastic, and when lit up it is jaw dropping.

I thought that the price was a little too high, but I am seriously reconsidering this one now.

As usual, Forps is completely wrong.

Light up features do make statues seem more like toys. XM Ghost Rider is a grail for a reason.

Had the XM, it was good but not as much a "grail" as people like to call it.
At some level these are all "toys".

Like my SSC PF a lot, light up is fantastic.
