Marvel Comics PVC Statues General Discussion

Unfortunately, this means that some PVC statues (Emma Frost and Storm) end up as 1/7 scale, while some of the resin statues end up 1/8 scale (Bishop).

Yes I noticed that the bishop picture you posted above actually listed it as a gallery piece (even the box he comes in says he is 16? but is actually only 12?). Looks nice but glad I waited to get him at $159 as I would have returned him at the $250 price he came out at.

Statues sometimes differ in the same line. Live-action Black Manta is 1/8 vs 1/7 for live-action Aquaman and Ocean Master.

I agree, I have Emma next to my Kotos Fine Art and she looks great with them, that's why I'm interested in Gwen, since I want her to go with my Kotos and Premier pieces

But man, I really hate what happened with Bishop :/

Ghost Spider is 1/8 scale, she's going to look tiny next to Emma Frost.

Everyone's waiting for New York Comic Con at this point.

I've been here! And we've been offering a new Marvel Gallery every month! This month there was no comic-based Gallery, just Moon Knight MCU, but Electro is up next (should be at NYCC), and a repaint of Thor just hit the Disney Store:

GI Joe, I think Storm Shadow is next, I could be wrong. I'll update the other thread.

makes sense...was hoping you would get one that pcs hadn't done already since they only did a handful of joes. Interested in seeing Electro. Think a Sandman would sell great if in the classic green and black shirt and of course The Shocker. Haven't seen anyone do the classic Apocalypse from 90's cartoon yet. Obviously there are several more but trying to think of ones that would be the heavy sellers first.

thanks Zac for doing a great job of keeping us informed. I know were not always the most pleasant to deal with. Collectors are a funny crowd.

I think we want to finish the Sinister Six, so a Sandman is inevitable. We've done Mysterio, Electro, Doc Ock, Kraven, and Vulture, so he's the last of the OGs. If we DON'T make him, you can always sub in Green Goblin or Venom.

Not sure if an Apocalypse Gallery is in the offering any time soon. Between the Select action figure and the Premier Collection statue, we're pretty Apoc'd up. But we do have that line of X-Men Animated busts, so Apoc would be good for that, as well.

I am not a fan of the PCS Joe stuff I've seen, but we gotta do the big guys. Scarlett may come after Storm Shadow, and there are a few more in the works. Not sure which were done by PCS, to be honest.

Other than the ?no apocalypse from cartoon series? this all sounds like great news. I have swapped out two of my PCs joes for yours as diamonds looked better. Pcs did same as you so far except they also had cobra and serpentor. Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to seeing some of these.
