I don't think it was ever mentioned what happens if you break the rule. I guess no one broke it, as it wasn't an option.

I went into Fight Club not knowing anything about it. I came away blown away. At the end, it had me thinking (understatement).

Sideshow Collectibles - Dejah Thoris Premium Format

Dejah arrived today. She is a damn decent piece, and very heavy.
No wonky eye's - Yay!
..Sideshow (the factory) has delivered their A game.
Other than the floating foot (which is common), no complaints here
Skin tone is darker than many images suggest, which is perfect.

If i wanted to be hyper picky..
The painted gold areas look dull compared to the metal gold chains.
The image on the box, which can be used as a backdrop, looks low resolution?

Once again, thank you Will Harbottle for your amazing sculpt skills.

After i shot this image, it became obvious the natural light, sunlight was too strong, which
resulted in Dejah skin tone looking bleached out.
The window blinds were tilted, which resulted in a more correct skin tone.




------------------------------------------------------------------

A small shout out to ADA Cardano for making Dejah Thoris PF available for my
collection. This is the second time i have called on ADA Cardano to help add to
the collection and fulfil my statue fix. With the onslaught of Covid and a furlough
scheme i found myself on i had no option but to find a way to bring in extra cash,
statue cash.

How To Make Capcom Fighting Characters: Street Fighter Character Design

The latest pick up. 35% off over at Amazon + free shipping
Naturally i jumped to page 102 and how Laura (Matsuda) the design came to be (6 pages in total).
PCS might want to pick the book up, if only to get a better understanding of the details when it comes to Street Fighter character design.

Thanks!
I held off at the start as i figured Sideshow stood zero chance of the shipping a piece that looked very close to proto. Seems they succeeded. I think i'd place Dejah up there with Captain Marvel, when it comes to Sideshow pieces. I consider Captain Marvel to be a grail piece. I guess Dejah is a grail piece also.

Dejah is a well sculpted piece. Captain Marvel is nice as well, although I don't think anything Sideshow makes would be considered a grail nowadays.

Gentle Giant - Shanna the She-Devil 1/4

Sculpted by none other than Will Harbottle during his days at Gentle Giant

This arrived today. This is one of those piece's that has been on my wants list for a considerable
time. All i can say is, i am happy to have the piece in my collection. Unlike many 1/4 statues
which require assembly, Shanna comes in just two pieces. Shanna and the reptile. What i call,
a true statue.

I took some outside shots, as i figured that's where Shanna is, having just caught her dinner
