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.

I guess with blue you have to decide which color shorts you would want too. I go back and forth on whether I should have purchased the green or blue. I chose green because that was his first appearance in the Avengers, but that bright blue would pop in my collection.

I think Marvel is just trying to distance itself from Hank because of his violence to Jan in the past. All it takes is a small vocal group to talk about glorifying a hero who hits his wife (and rightfully so, that shouldn't be ok) and it'll be a big deal to a corporation trying to make money. As an example, look at the trouble they had with the Avengers 2 line that Tony Stark said. (Although some of that was directed right at Whedon for all of his issues.)

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.

By the way, you are so right about the rising prices. I have been collecting for over 20 years. Actually, my field is not sculptures, but sometimes I want to buy them and I see that the prices are too high, so the number of sculptures in my collection is very low. I hope the prices come down a little. Congratulations again, nice collection.

I've been collecting about the same amount of time and it's a shame to see them go up so much. They were rising with general inflation but the pandemic is bringing these to a whole new level. I suspect we'll all be buying less "wants" and focusing on the "needs" very soon.

Thanks! Take it easy.

Thanks! Sadly, not really anything new, just playing around with the video options.

Excellent. Love the J. Jonah Jameson piece. That's the first time I've seen it.
