Zimm's Two Cents
I think the hand-tailored fabric offers something to this piece that a lot of other statues should seriously consider.

Points in Favor
  • The coat. Wire-hemmed so you can make it look the way you want to.
  • Paint Job is looking good.
  • Little bits of detail - like the glove - make this nice.
  • Two Heads - so that you can choose the one that you really like.
  • Premium Format has a cool charged card with it. May be Worth the extra $10.00
Points Against
  • The base. Not much there.
  • Faces throw me off a bit, but overall - they are pretty good.
Recommendation: This is a Hot Buy. Sideshow Collectibles tend to be lower in productions, and this is a cool piece. I think it would look pretty rockin' sitting on the shelf. I would splurge and go for the $284.99 Premium Version, if you can still get it.
