What would be your ideal statue?

First post here! Been collecting for about a year now, getting into statues (coming from 1/6 lines). So my question is, what would be your ideal statue? A more poseable one? More heads? A single material used? Size? Sculpt? What type of innovation would like to see the industry? I'm curious since so many have their ideas here and I'm getting into the habit of collecting! What say you?

More than anything I'd like to see more diversity in characters in statues. I collect DC Comic statues, and I know why they do it economically, but I'd be lying if it isn't a bit of a downer to see the same core characters over and over. So, my innovation would be a way to reduce costs allowing more niche characters a chance.

Also, if a character has a helmet or mask I like an alternate head without it just for the option.


I know my personal ideal statue. A 1/3 scale Power Girl done in Conner style from cover of issue #1. If someone could pull that off I'd drop a grand on it.

Fully sculpted 1/4 scale, semi-action/museum pose, detailed base that’s not too grandiose, realistic features but with classic comic book proportions and sculpted in a way that can be displayed from several different angles.
First choice would be a black and grey suit Batman
Second choice would be a classic Captain America with some slight modernization to the suit.

Personally wish statues would move away from the massive diorama bases that have little to do with the character and more to do with jacking up price. Artistically they can be appealing and Ive purchased a couple but I also think that two characters made that way dont display well together. Would be nice to see more puzzle diorama pieces- More affordable characters that fit together with other important characters in the line to make a massive display piece that can also be broken down and displayed separately. Whether for action or museum pieces.

I like the action pose ones. I don't have any issue with diorama as long as it is not a very large diorama. I don't really care for switch options, I prefer the way Bowen did it (good sculpt, very detail, and affordable).

Right now it would be a 1/4 scale chromed Silver Surfer. Probably somewhat of a museum pose.

Or a Maquette very closely resembling Sideshow Galactus but of the Living Tribunal

A Silver Surfer one would be awesome! Has anyone made one before?
