Been a while all. Little update here, nothing too mind-blowing though.
C&B Riley and Ellie giclee:
and here it is with Campfire:
Both #5:
Destiny promo mini litho in presentation case. It only comes with one litho, but there are slots for other, different lithos. Supposedly, in the coming months, as the release of the game gets closer, the rest of the lithos (that go in the presentation case) will be released shipped out in order to complete the set.
Front and back views of presentation case:
Unfolded to reveal litho:
Fully unfolded to reveal spaces for other lithos:
Next up is this promo display piece. It's just about 3' (feet) long, and it's double-sided so that it forms a complete Nazi air ship!
The Spratt LE ME litho:
a nice number:
The MGS cardboard box bobble. By the way, it's neat, but the sculpt on Snake is terrible. Snake looks like he's morbidly obese:
a Titanfall pre-order promo poster. I'm waiting on a signed Titanfall poster that I hope to have soon; but for now, this one will do.
Some Fallout ephemera from PAX:
Next, I figured I'd share some non-gaming-related items that I recently acquired.
I have a very small collection of original comic art sketches. Some of these I just received recently; others I've had for a long time.
These are full color sketches done for my by Humberto Ramos. He's an artist for Marvel currently; but he's also worked for countless other companies.
Some time after the artist did those sketches for me, his people contacted me and asked if I would like to have the sketches included in a new sketchbook that the artist was releasing. I said yes of course, and shortly thereafter, they did indeed publish the sketches in the book. It's pretty cool to own something that the artist felt proud enough to include in a book.
This is the book:
and here are the sketches in the book:
This one I just picked up a few weeks back. It's by Mahmud Asrar; another great artist that is currently signed with Marvel:
I also have a small collection of statues, made up of mostly comicbook characters. Here are the ones that I picked up most recently. Maybe soon I'll post my entire statue collection. It's kind of tough though, 'cause most of them are in storage, and it would be a huge pain to take them all out just to take pics. I do take them out of storage from time to time, in order to display them; so it's not like they're in perpetual storage; but I only have so much space available, so they do stay in storage mostly.
This is the Harley Quinn Premium Format figure by Sideshow:
and this is the Punisher Premium Format Figure by Sideshow:
That's it for now, I believe. I think I have a few interesting pieces, albeit non-gaming-related items, coming in soon; so hopefully I'll have a nice update to share soon.
Thanks again everyone. Take care.
