The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Very nice! I've always loved that Mystique and Cheetah looks good as well.

that mystique is a pretty underrated piece. after owning the most recent one i agree i do like this oldie but goodie better. some of those older SS pieces still hold up, theyre like hidden gems as other pieces that came out around the same time or even afterwards can look really dated but theres a few that really stand the test of time

Mystique looks slightly dated, in a good way.

There is a piece from the past by Sideshow called Black Queen Comiquette. Time and time again i have looked at the piece. I think it is a piece that had aged beyond purchase. At the same time, it isn't all that bad. The portrait paint app could use improvement. To be honest, i don't know much about the character.

Okay, that's exactly what I see in person. Brown with like an orange tinge.

LOADING: Image(s)

Two books to add to the collection. Both will serve the purpose of pulling me away from the
computer screen

Beware The Moon
This is the re_issue. The original hardback sold out in no time and sells for crazy prices.
I wanted the book to read, not to collect as such. It's packed with pictures. Needless to say,
i am a big fan of the movie, An American Werewolf in London

The Making Of Alien
336 pages of Alien in this thick book, on special offer from Amazon. While i know tons of stuff
already about the movie, the book contains lots of images i have not seen before.

I bet a 1/4 scale of Ripley wearing a space suit would sell like hot cakes. I just discovered the
original space suit sold for $204,800 - Crazy!

Hello.

The statues look very detailed and beautiful. Also, i think the Alien book tells the story of the movie. Relly interesting. Nice collection. Congrats

Thanks.
I'll move onto the Alien book once i am done with Beware the Moon (which is an excellent read, so far atleast).
I think Beware the Moon will take me 3 days to read, as i tend to read on and off while doing other stuff. The Alien book will probably take 4 times longer.
