Well we can see that it's from Sideshow.. so I'm thinking it's a statue.

Nope, none of that.  Oh, here's a little hint from inside the box...

I see the spectacles. Is it maybe Harry Potter? Or maybe a Lord of the Rings character?

Crap, i have been searching Sideshows web site for something but can't find a 12" figure with a gold sword!

Maybe it's Odin.

Well, I know they don't do Harry Potter figures...They do LOTR but that gold sword is....low rent.

It could be a premium format statue....Not likely a 12".

I've wanted this for awhile now.  From "Legend" - a favorite movie of mine.  Here are a quick few pics I snapped.  Got # 118 of 500 for the exclusive version.  Now just have to decide on either putting him in half a Detolf case or get something custom made.  Ignore the goofy guy in one of the pictures.  Not sure how he got into the shot.

Wow Ark of Truth! That's what is in that big box?!?! But you should work on the photography ... those first to pic were too close up for us to see what you got.

That was Tim Curry wasn't it. Man that is one cool collectable. You wouldn't want to wake up to that looking at you though.

Post by: Rico on March 13, 2008, 04:50:12 AM
Yep, Tim Curry.  This is one of the best and nicest statues Sideshow has done.  Very detailed, and huge!  I'll do a full review of it on an upcoming podcast.

Can I ask how much you paid.. you can PM the cost if you like. I'm looking at Ebay and it's going from $300 to $700. I'm thinking of getting one.

On the sideshow web site they are going for $350 as was thinking ooooo i'll have one of those, but as i live in the UK the shipping would be horrendous so i'm going searching at one of our comic shows.

You can still get them from Sideshow direct Kenny.  Use the FlexPay option and you pay it over three months (that's what I did).  Easier to do.

It's an amazing statue.  Get one before they are gone!

Hawkeye - Sideshow has a European division and warehouse.  Check the site and link above.  You can order from there and get good shipping.

Time to get in the mood with a little Bryan Ferry and "Legend." One of the most visually beautiful movies ever made.
