Sideshow's The Reaper: Death's General | My absolute grail of all collecting

I will never be able to afford this, but it is literally the best thing I've ever seenI will never be able to afford this, but it is literally the best thing I've ever. (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=36173&sku=7213)

So grim I can barely stand it.

This on anyone else's wishlist?

It's super high quality work I'll certainly grant you that but while it looks cool, I don't believe it's from anything, right?

I've seen it before but without it being attached to any franchise it has to stand on its own

While it is amazing quality and such, I collect VG stuff so this doesn't appeal to me all that much especially with the price tag

Nope, it's from their in-house The Dead line. Absolutely fantastic stuff. For some reason I find these far more appealing than almost anything I've seen that's part of some other source.

At that price, even as an aspiring statue collector, I imagine it will always hold 'grail' status and never 'owned'.

The detail is phenomenal, matched only by the design and it is HUMUNGOUS, so I guess I don't fault the price that much, but damn.

In my mind I would worry someone that saw it in person might confuse it with a very expensive Halloween decoration :shrug:

Still shows the kind of high quality work Sideshow can do when they feel like it

[Brandon Storm]

Well, it wouldn't be out of place in my house. I'd be lying if I said some Halloween decorations hadn't made their way into my daily decor, haha.

There's too much neat stuff out there, so something like this that transcends fandom to what may be referenced is right up my alley. Just simply cool on it's own and not because of it's relation to something else cool.

[SwiftDeath]

well it certainly sounds perfect for you then :)

Sometimes you have to get stuff even if no one else but you will appreciate it

Not that we all can't appreciate this statue as it is awesome, just that most of us would probably choose other things if we had the money
