I have recently realized (after getting bored fast with one female statue I bought less than 5 months ago, and now I can't get rid of it for even half of what I paid), that I won't be spending money on statues of characters that I don't care about.

So, even though all 5 of these sexy ladies look awesome, I can't let myself get stuck in that "buy it cuz it's cool" mentality. I've paid for it one too many times LOL.

Totally agree with you here Ryan. Unfortunately our appreciation for good character design sometimes gets the better of us and we impulse buy statues without having that "attachment" you speak of. It took me years of collecting and selling pieces (for a loss sometimes) before I broke myself of the habit. I'm a wiser collector now and have a more stringent guideline to follow and I've found I enjoy the hobby much more when I stick to it.

Imagine a line of 1/4 scale Joes with this level of detail.

I'd have a hard time resisting that.

Well i've never had that problem.
There is so much to look at because i've been looking at them for days and i see something new.
And no different then any other girl in Heavy Metal magizine and others so i don't really see a rip off here so.

I think people get bored with anything they buy.
And i just thought of something.
I probably would get bored of looking at a female statue with no nips.lol

LOL, what statue is that?

[fflamingmoe]

They could have added nips to whisper if they wanted to.And it drives me nuts when the sculpt isn't finnished.lol
See through?why not add them nockers?lol
And if you look close you can see where they wanted to add nips because of the way the octo tattoo is done to look like it would rap around a nip.lol
