Anything signed by Stan Lee is a Grail in my book. For all I care he can sign my toilet paper and I will treasure it til the end of time.

At one time, I considered selling all (or most) of my collection in order to buy just one real bronze statue--probably Spidey or Cap.

Now that I'm selling my collection for other reasons, I'm still hoping one of those bronzes is available someday...

Mine was the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider MB that me and Armitage pushed so hard to get. Now it's among my favorites.

My other grails?
Wonder Man FS--I have been pushing for this from time to time.

Two-Gun Kid FS--I don't know if this will ever become a reality but I've always put it as a choice in those wish-lists

I desperately want a Tomb of Dracula, but don't consider it out of reach. The bronze Spidey and Cap, though, I do consider out of reach...if only for the moment!

My Grail is the blue and yellow Goliath FS. Favorite Avenger, favorite costume... and it almost didn't happen.

A scrapped prototype, years of near-silence on the progress of the statue, proposals to have Goliath (if produced) kneeling (ugh!), or produced at the same height as the other Avengers (double-ugh), followed by promising new sneaks, and then the ugly news that production costs in China had increased to the point that the statues might be unaffordable...

And finally, BD's offering all of the Giant Pyms for pre-order at about the same time, while making this one — and only this one — a pre-orders-dependent website exclusive that would die if it didn't reach the magic number. (I understand that the provisions of the contract, hard-won in the first place, may have necessitated near-simultaneous pre-orders, but it was still a marketing nightmare.)

BD is the only company that would even have considered a project like this, and I'm delighted that it became a reality: even more so, that RB responded to feedback from the fans on what Goliath should look like.

Still, there were many times I wasn't sure it would happen at all.

And victory is all the sweeter. My Grail, indeed!

I think the new Ms. Marvel bust is a grail!

I take my hat off to BD, they dare to do what others don't. always looking out for the true Marvel Fans.
