Juggernaut arrived today and does not disappoint! Here are some pics. I was amazed at the size of this statue. I had seen the pictures, but they didn't do it justice. I was following the assembly instructions (yes, this one actually has instructions included) but ended up having to take the figure piece out of the base in order to get one of the debris pieces where it needed to be, so just a heads up that you may have to do that,-then work the figure piece back in. This is a heavy statue, weighing in at 8.3 lbs outside of the box. I really wanted to display Juggs on one of the top shelves, but unfortunately the maximum weight allowed on my Ikea shelving unit is 8 lbs, so he goes to the bottom. I'm really happy about the overall look of Juggernaut and he was absolutely a must have for me.-

Looks good! I see you got the Iceman as well. Your display looks good. Seems you are out of space now ha what are you gonna do for the rest?

Thanks! I'll shift those Bowen mini-busts to another case when the collection grows! I'm not going to let a little thing like running out of space stop me!

Nice set-up Legionnaire, looks great. Maybe you could fit Colossus to fit with the Juggernaut, like facing each other and then put Pyro next to Magneto, if you needed more room.

My pictures aren’t the best but as the poster before me said He is HUGE compared to the rest of the line. I can see the price hike in him that I couldn’t see for Mags.

Looks good! You guys are making me anxious to get mine ha.

Juggernaut is the best villain piece in the line. Next is Omega Red imo. The Blob would rank higher to me but his face shouldve looked older. He looks like a obese kid. Still interested though because i dont think well see any statues of him in the future.

I agree with chunckster that Juggernaut is the best villain piece in the line. Here are some pics right along with the others to demonstrate the size of Juggs. I still can't stop looking at him!

Omega Red should look killer if it's close to the prototype. IS tends to do better with faces that are not human colored. Maybe it's the paint apps. The "fleshy" skin tone color just doesn't always look that great. But yea OR should look dope. Blob I am looking forward to as well. I wonder if he is going to be as big as Juggie. I guess I could just look up the measurements on the website.

And you're right, who knows when you will ever see another statue for some of these characters. Blob, Silver Samurai & Pyro. Probably only ones you will see for quite a while.

Sideshow now saying Blob Aug-Sept 2021. I could have sworn when I JUST checked the updated shipping timeframes last week he still said July - September. I wonder if the site auto updates once it reaches the next month? Since it's now August. I don't know. Hoping we get atleast 1 - 2 pieces this month.
