And there is even a smaller number of collectors able to spend the thousands for the LSF or full size.
It is out of my price range. Nice to look at but for my 1/4 scale dollar i am still happy with Sideshow.

Fair enough, to keep the prices lower they have to keep it simpler... but SS does do more expensive pieces such as the Pred 2 1:4 scale for $1200, C-3PO and R2-D2 at $750, Hulk Maquette $650, Comic Hulk PF $550, so they do make more expensive 1:4 scale statues.... 2 of those have unlimited ES and if you add up all the colors of the comic hulks it will probably be close to 6k ES.
Just wish there more expensive pieces would have a bit more intricate details to them.. R2 & 3PO base is plain sand and Pred 2 base is a slab of rock with two small skulls...
I'm pretty much cleaning house on my statue collection so I can afford the XM ones... I'm going for quality over quantity approach, trying to stream line my collection to what I consider is the best of the best... of course everyone has their own opinions on what is the best
so I've had to sell off all my smaller statues, only keeping 1:5 scale or bigger with a few 1:6 scale exceptions... All my bushijous, ArtFX statues, Arkham & bombshell lines ups have to go... it hurts but In the end I hope to have a collection that people will drool over, And yes I do plan to have several SS PF's in that collection
