My issue is not having "tons" of statues, it's I had custom shelves made when I built my house and the max height is 33", unfortunately several of Prime 1 statues that I wold love to buy exceed that height and only because Prime 1 used really tall bases...
Maybe you like really tall bases, if so more power to you, my only suggestion to Prime 1 was to kept the base more reasonable in size... |
Sorry man, I apologize for the assumption. I guess when I see those words on message boards I assume the worst in people but yes, you're right. We're all geeks here lol.
And I understand the concern with the gigantic bases, I do. I mean it is true at some point there are only so many statues you can display which have footprints such as some of these. In general I don't mind the huge bases/tall statues but I kind of look at it on a case by case basis.
So for example this statue in particular, funny thing is with me (and this isn't a statue I'd buy either way) but I actually think the base is the coolest part of it. Harley looks fine and all but that base is just awesome.
But then when I look at something like the Hush Superman I'm fine with the height and I have space for the base, but the thing I don't like about the base is that it's really big/wide and it isn't really anything "unique" to Superman. It's just some angels and a stone base so it doesn't really add anything great/unique to the statue and it takes up a lot of space. When it add something unique to the character, I think it's good. But in the case of Superman those angels just don't do much other than add real estate, and I guess weight support lol.
