Zimm's Two Cents
I've been looking at the Sideshow Collectibles line quite a bit lately, as I want to start adding some of them to my collection. I tend to favor their "lifesize busts".
Points in Favor
  • Detail, but then again, these Diorama's don't eve tend to skimp on the detail. Look at the scratches on X-23.
  • Characters look good. The faces are what usually turn me off with these dioramas, but in this case, I think that they look pretty good. Good and pissed.
  • The Paint. Clear sharp colors.
  • Action Poses, when done right, really rock!
Points Against
  • I don't see any.
Recommendation: This one definitely falls into my 'Hot Buy' bucket. This is just a really nice piece, and I might do some googling on "Idol Workshop" to find out more about them.



As an FYI: One pic does not do this statue justice, I would definitely recommend clicking through and looking at the entire gallery collection.

Robert's Two Cents
This is a really cool piece.
Points in Favor
  • I love the details on the costumes.
  • Great pose.
  • X-23 looks awesome.
  • Deathstrike looks very good too.
Points Against
  • I'd like to see a more classic Lady Deathstrike costume, but it's still pretty close.
Recommendation:Hot Buy I really like this one. Plus the history and the irony of the matchup.
