There alot of talented sculptors, but often most of the custom groups are
1. Out of Scale
2. Crazy huge base concepts
3. Never look like the prototype
4. Expensive
5. Require master painter to really make it look amazing (factory paint jobs usually are medicore/good at best)
6. High risk to getting ripped off
7. Shipping from china is crazy expensive
8. Take longer to make than SS
Everyone jumped to hate this silver surfer, but its pretty great for a museum pose. Thanos on throne and This Silver surfer are perfect companions to one another. It's kinda like the VS screen in a video game. Plus they both have a decent foot print to leave you room for other statues. (customs would end up taking the space of 2-3 PFs)
If you have the real estate, then maybe you should hold out for XM, there Thanos is huge and more dynamic and i'm sure Silver surfer will be as well.
If your all time fav character is done by your all time fav sculptor and your willing to plunk down 2-3K on one statue, then by all means the custom route maybe for you.
