That makes sense. Now that i think about it, I got the statue because I love the character, Not because I love statues. When it showed up i thought i’d want immediately want more but that wasn’t the case.
Unlike 1/6 figures where I buy everyone because I like 1/6 scale figures.

Hahahah. Yeah theres not many... only about 50 haha

i would just think about what kind of display you want - if you start buying everything you think is cool youre going to end up with no space and your collection is going to turn into clutter

Thanks Brother. Haha I ran out of space a long time ago. Then my girlfriend moved in and added like 25 big ass statues and a few hot toys. I’ve since learned to embrace the clutter haha.

ZacharyV welcome! Statue collecting can definitely become addictive but best to pace yourself. That is a really nice Wonder Woman piece and could work as a stand alone. My heart goes to Wonder Woman statues though, so even if I didn’t get any other characters (which I do) it would be too many. Either way have fun doing it your way, (and tell Susan hello I miss her videos.)

Congrats!
I'm not so sure that photo does the piece justice.

No. Worst lighting ever

I mean...you could try to pose her, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You might just be more into figures...nothing wrong with that.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!

If you like dinos you have to get the Tyco Brontoaurus. He is HUGE

I still got this from my child days...

You can display it, light it, have companion pieces, art work behind it.
