I sense possibly the XM Studios - Black Cat 1/4 scale statue slipped under the radar of many collectors.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Really great. I do not collect sculptures, but I would like to buy them, but unfortunately my budget is not suitable for sculptures. It's all too expensive for me. However, it is very nice to see it here and I am very happy for you to have a sculpture that you like in your collection. Congratulations again.

Thanks!
The hobby of statue collecting appears to be getting ever more expensive. I sense i am being priced out of it. I like 1/6 figures also

You are right, many figures very expensive. 1/6 figures are also really beautiful. I'm thinking of doing some custom work, it can be a little cheaper in terms of price. I have been collecting for more than 20 years and I am particularly interested in old figures, but it is more enjoyable for me to combine them with new toys. Collection culture is really diverse and beautiful. Hopefully the prices of the figures will drop and we can buy more figures.

$594.60 Regular edition.
Low shipping cost, $37.53 as the statue is located in Europe.
Europe to UK used to be free Import. That has now changed. Still waiting on the import fee.

Edit: I just Googled 'temptation'. That is the piece where LD is leaning backwards. I like that piece also
oh i see....i have that one too and customized it into an alive version many moons ago and was one of my very early attempts at repainting an entire 1/4 statue....i will post that one day on my collection page....

oh since you have that piece....is it displayed or boxed up? i had mine displayed for years and the skulls on the sticks started to bend....i was able to fix all of them but something to watch for ....i guess they do not have metal rods in them

Sideshow - Lady Death 1/4 scale PF (reg) is in the house..

No photo's though..
Reason being, i opened the box, and all was fine. Much time
was spent assembling the piece. Towards the end, it was
becoming all the more apparent that the cape was going to
require a ton of work to look good.

Since i am planning on moving home, it made sense to put
all the pieces back into the to box.

All i can say is, what a nice piece Lady Death is. She is tall,
and the skulls on the base look great. If i wanted to be hyper
picky, then i would say the plastic sword looks a bit cheap.

One aspect i found slightly odd was the box design. I managed
to open it upside-down. The reason being, they decided to
place the cape under clear plastic on the outside of the
polystyrene leading me to believe that that was the Top on the
box, where in fact it is the bottom of the box?

Compared to all the other pieces in my collection, bar Starfire,
Lady Death possibly has the biggest hair.

Have not sold the current house yet. I hope the future property will allow for all my statues to be displayed
