Bust-ups ????

I am a bowen man myself but I do have others. My question is this. "Are the bust-up series worth collecting?" They look great but feel cheap. Any opinions on these "bust-ups"?

The sculpts are dead on... and would be perfect if GG would actually turn them into a Mini Bust line...

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I like them. The sculpts rock and they are affordable. I would like to see them made into fullsize busts also.

I picked up a few for my son as I was not going to buy him a GG Storm Trooper mini bust at this time. He is only 7 and still thinks most everything is an action figure.....I can handle a $5 loss better than a $50 loss!!

Whatever is worth collecting I collect... I don't set limits to the artists interpretation of his piece... "if you can picture this thing sitting in your room"... then I suppose it's good.

I too have been contemplating buying some of these. I thought the first ones they made looked like crap but the pics of all the upcoming ones such as the rots and hoth waves look awesome!
