is Reaper 1/3 scale, or did they just decide to make the character large when they rolled him into CoTD lore?

Oh, I've lost track, what is that for SS, 1/2? Like their busts?

Probably larger than 1/4 but smaller than 1/3

I got it second hand long after it had sold out, so it didn't really make a difference. Same with all my COTD because these haven't held value well in the second hand market, much less so than the average SS piece.

I would have been upset if I bought it. I mean charged the same but it's years later, prices rose more plenty in that time.

This is definitely a line you have to love the pieces you get. You can't explain it to someone that wasn't following the sideshow machine

I think any original line is a much tougher aftermarket sell. But hey I like them enough to get them at what I think are good prices and there are people who don't want them anymore and want to get rid of them at that price so win win I guess. I haven't POed (or even ordered) anything from SS from years though, haven't seen a single thing from them that I wanted and haven't been able to get cheaper, especially with their pricey shipping.

Nice collection.

I really wanted and was close at buying the OG Reaper, but the price was just a bit steep at that time (esp. getting it in Europe).

Second favorite for me was the style of Cleopsis, but still think Sideshow missed the opportunity to put it one tier higher by using some clear resin for the blue essence inside the snake. Like they did with the flaming heart of Mola Ram (which i had).
And the scarabs at the base where not really popping enough (bit too small also).
