Check out their blogspot post on Poxxil and see what
I'm talking about.

I did and I also follow the progress on IG. I totally understand upping the quality level. I had to ask since the prices just seem so all over the place when you compare this to like Morthigull or Malavestros. Just caught me off guard.

Mark thank you for coming in and conversing by the way. It's nice.

Hey Mark you are the best, even if it's a little pricey I'm preordering it tonight when I get home from work, it's just to cool not to, but Mark please tell Tom to release Shard Faith Bearers Fury, I dont care if it's a $1000 dollars I would buy it

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Indeed, Mark's work is second to none. I just pre-ordered the piece, the sculpt is too awesome for me to pass.

I agree, I thought that purple looked good on the side, but still looks good

Is there any way to have Sideshow send an email when it becomes low stock remaining?

Just assume it’s all PVC and proceed from there. PVC is being used in a lot of places it isn’t needed, but with the size of the legs/cane compared to the body, PVC is probably necessary.

I think they could go all resin in the legs and arms,body. Run a metal bar through the left leg, if they start to PVC out on this thing, I'm out, instant cancel. No expensive cheapo Walmart, Target toys for my collection.

The Red Death is a much thinner and delicate piece than Poxxil. He's cast super thin and is very light weight and the pose is waaaaay worse than Poxxils as he literally pegs in on his tip toes, I've had mine since day 1 and he's perfect.

I have no doubt, for those that do care, that this will be done in resin and i imagine any thinner pieces like his staff, the masks etc will be cast in PVC similar to Mortighull.

But really you need to look at the finished product and not worry about what it's made out of, if the whole thing is cast in resin but the paint is rubbish then it doesn't really matter does it...it's all about that finished product.

Mortighull has a bunch of PVC pieces and it was for me 1 of the best pieces i got last year....
