I might feel differently if I were a Baby-boomer who actually watched Monroe's movies when she was still alive and well.
Then I would have a legit reason to be nostalgic and have a desire to collect a statue of her. It's a generation thing, I guess.

No, it's not a generation thing. Trust me, I was born long after Marilyn died.
Like I said, difficult as it might seem to grasp, some people like movies overall, beyond the usual statue-related genres. In fact, there being fewer statues for those other genres makes them all the more special.
In the thread I linked to above, you can read me and others making wish lists involving actresses as far back as the 1930's. I recall other threads with the likes of pdenham wishing away, too. Why? Because we like those actresses and we like those movies, no matter when we were born.
It's not the first time you've done this, Hobbyist - questioning the mere existence of this or that piece, wondering if they were "necessary" (to which I already replied once that nothing about this hobby was "necessary"), and I can't get my head around that.
Look, I see people with large collections of anime robots which all look pretty much the same to me, but you won't see me questioning those. People like what they like, it's as simple as that.
Please do that, I want to see what happens
