Thumbs up Captain America on point

So this is my second piece from Sideshow and mannnnn after collecting 1/6 scale marvel statues from Kotobukiya i see why Sideshow and 1/4 scale is a slippery slope to brokeville. Going to Sideshows website has become a daily routine after my morning news. I already got the Doctor Strange on preorder for obvious reasons you will see in the picture below. Luckily I'm limited to space so can't go too crazy. Anywho as for the piece I definitely love it and it's a great addition to my collection.

Looks great - Daredevil too - I have both pieces and love them. Costs definitely add up quickly, but you'll be glad you dove in. Looking forward to Dr. Strange as well!

Spent the weekend rearranging my displays just to fit Jean in. No regrets. She is beautiful.

I did the same thing back in the day. Started with 1/6 scale. After my 1st 1/4, I started to transition my collection to all 1/4 which meant getting new shelves (which you'll need to do too)

Scale creep, it's real...I still struggle when I look at some of those killer Prime 1 1/3 statues (Batman Hush, looking at you), but then the price brings me back to reality...barely.

Once you go 1/3 scale, especially those Beautiful Prime 1s, you'll be hooked! It all started for me with the Margot Robbie Harley Quinn and I've been loving prime 1 ever since! I still do 1/4ths from Sideshow too though.

I feel you i definitely love the 1/4 scale size overall but cost for me is to great to solely invest in it completely. Luckily i have the space to build a small corner display case that will let me hold about six 1/4 scale pieces and with the current bookcase i have my Daredevil and Captain America on i can most likely fit an additional three pieces.

Its a real shame, which i dont get, that the options for 1/6 scale pieces are extremely limited in choice and variety. If im not mistaken Kotobukiya is the only company making 1/6 scale Marvel pieces. It would be fine if they kicked out pieces like sideshow but i swear there is only around three pieces a year.
