The Court of the Dead collection

[zeus]

By the time they all come out, I will probably not be interested in statues anymore. Delays that never end. Show you prototypes of statues that you will not see untill 3-5 years later. Whats the point. Every company does this. Sideshow,ARH, Popculture etc...

You probably didn't like the statue enough in the first place if you don't want to wait and "moved on." I don't think any statue company out there gets pieces released in 5 months or less. I posted somewhere about timelines for announcements and pre-orders. After that a year or so is a good amount of time. Anymore is a bit concerning like with Whisper. But with Sideshow, unless it's Marvel, I don't worry about their releases. The Queen is their personal standout piece. She'll be fine. Sideshow won't let her ship with crazy issues.

Obviously these are one fourth and much more detailed but I miss the way bowen would just put out statues like mad crazy. You could grow a collection fast if you wanted to.

Bowen never released his statues on time. You had to add months to the posted release dates. I don't think Sideshow has reached 1.5 years on these pieces yet. I ordered Queenie on October 30, 2013. So we haven't even reached the year mark.

I think Tweeterhead does. I ordered their Catwoman Maquette on May 23 and it is expected to release this month. If delayed, it might hit the 5+ months mark.

He is partially right, I find that the excitement comes back around shipping times or once you open it up,but sometimes you receive a piece and it just sits there for a 1 day or two.Case in point the MK Klassic ninja trio from PCS,I just don't feel like collecting Mk anymore and will probably get rid of them soon.

I don't worry about their releases either. Ive actually been collecting for about 8 years now. I'm just saying that there is too long of a wait for production for me. As for bowen, yeah I know they would be a few months late. I guess what I was trying to get at was that there would sometimes be 3-4 marvel pieces a month to get. I guess that isn't possible with 1/4 scale.

Yeah what the hell…. There are some companies that have taken little longer to release but seriously if your really interested in a certain piece than you will love it long enough to wait until it ready!!!

Some of you want these Art Pieces Now, but can't stand to wait for the time it takes to make them with the quality that you expect. Sh*t happens! It's worth the wait! Get over it!
