top 10 Sideshow statues of all time

was talking to a friend about the og galactus maquette and mentioned how even though its a statue i never owned (should have ordered when it came out) i would still rate it as one of sideshows 10 best of all time. got me thinking what other statues i would put on that list, both that i own and ones i do not

the rules are simple:
- ANY sideshow statue regardless of scale or license
- could be statues you have owned or never owned, try to look outside your collection though
- post pics if possible (try to keep them manageable)
- does not need to be in any order, picking a top 10 is difficult enough
- THREE honorable mentions allowed
- KEEP IT CIVIL, everyone likes different things. the world would be boring if we all had the same taste

in no particular order...

bane maquette


juggernaut maquette


lobo premium format


skeletor statue


spiderman premium format 2.0 / symbiote suit variant


joker premium format


statues ive never owned but cant deny theyre incredible... i really wish i had picked up galactus and man-thing when i had the chance. i remember when fury of the beast came out and debated getting it but it didnt fit my collection and i dont follow conan, still kind of wish i did even though i have no idea where it would go. dejah is obviously beautiful and impressive on every level but doesnt fit my collection either

man-thing comiquette


galactus maquette


dejah thoris premium format


conan: fury of the beast diorama


hororable mentions:
spiderman comiquette
green arrow premium format
punisher comiquette

I'd definitely agree with your comiquette being included. I don't exactly have a Top 10, but know I'd include the Hulk v Spidey dio, and the first XMen Sentinel dio. I don't have any of these.

One I do have, that I love how it was done is Manor vs Iron Man.

There's other 1/4 that are great too that I won't open, but will probably be covered here. Thanos, Gambit, Rogue, OG Vader mythos, etc

I only own one Sideshow piece, but I think the Mark 3 Iron Man might be my favorite out of all the Iron Man statues I've seen from every company.

The Speeder bike PF is the best Star Wars piece they ever made. At three feet long, this piece is epic!

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

For the life of me, I can't come up with 10. SS has a very distinct way of revealing a great looking prototype that's eventually altered or is poorly produced right before it gets released. If I could name statues based on their first prototype reveal, then this would be easy. But afterwards? hmmm...


Darth Talon


Poison Ivy


Superman


Darth Maul


Captain Marvel


Aspen


Obi-Wan

Thumbs up

A fun idea!

My list

#1 - Power Girl Mk. 1 (I am biased, it was my first Sideshow piece and what got me into large scale statues and she'll be joined by Mk. 2 later this year)



#2 - Rogue (This piece is so dynamic and the face is flawless, the standard in many cases)



#3 - Red Sonja (Even though the recent P1 1:3 is staggering I still love this 1:4 piece)



#4 - Wonder Woman Mk. 2 (From the base to the pose and the muscles, this is among my favorite Dianas)



#5 - Batgirl (I feel like they nailed this piece so well that it stands up many years later)



#6 - Captain Marvel (This piece is so good that even though I like longer hair on Carol it is still such a winner!)



#7 - Hawkgirl (The fact this exists is nothing short of amazing, and getting a maskless portrait makes it perfect to me)



#8 Supergirl Mk. 2 (Love the clouds and pose capturing Kara's grace)



#9 Starfire (Fun way of incorporating the hair as the base giving her relaxed powerful presence)



#10 Harley Mk. 3 (Hell on Wheels was so good it got me to break finally on Harley in my collection)

LOL, I was going to ask, is the intent here for MY top 10 or, objectively, THE top 10, though my filter, of course. I was thinking the latter, based on the OP.
