Beyond My Collection - Sabretooth Street Clothes Statue by Bowen Designs

     This is the second Sabretooth statue that I've featured in my collection. Unfortunatly, due to the inevitability of space constraints I have made the sad decision to sell this bad boy.  Fortunately for you I was able to document it before I boxed it up.  So, for your viewing pleasure, I would like to introduce you to the Ultimate Sabretooth.

Beyond My Collection: Deadpool Premium Format Figure

     I am not a big Deadpool fan so I won't be getting this statue.  Thus it will always be beyond my collection. My personal character preferences notwithstanding, I can certainly appreciate a genius rendition of a character in statue form when I see it.   This future grail started shipping last week and the collectors that got him seem to be very satisfied.

Beyond My Collection: Jean Grey Bishoujo Statue by Kotobukiya

     What does Bishoujo mean?  I'm sure that is your first question, since it was mine as well when I first heard it.  Here's the definition:

Bishoujo - (Japanese) beautiful young girl.

Apparently that is all this word means.  It does not refer to a specific genre or set of stories.  Instead it simply seems to be a style directly linked to the various beautiful looking young (under college age) girls that have appeared in Manga/Anime (Japanese animation).

     Kotobukiya, a Japanese company that has both a Marvel and a DC license, got the clever idea to take the female characters from these companies and turn them into Bishoujos.  As of now there is a whole set of these that have been produced (ie Phoenix, Psylocke, Rogue, etc.). I have decided not to collect them though since doing so would take my collecting trajectory in a new direction.  

     The first statue in the Bishoujo line I thought I would feature is the Jean Grey statue that was released in 2011.

Beyond My Collection: The Worst X-men Statue Ever Made?

     This is the first of many forthcoming posts that will cover statues that I do not have in my collection.  I will be using stock photos from the respective statue producer and will occasionally post photos and videos from other collectors.

     I thought I would start with the Beast Maquette statue produced by Sideshow Collectibles.  It's a 24" tall piece, with an edition size of 300. It was released in 2009.
