Sideshow unleashed unto the mostly unsuspecting masses this week their latest experiment on self-created market valuations in the shiny guise of faux bronze: Eagle vs. Fellbeast diorama. The ‘problem’? Only 50 flippers collectors were lucky enough to snag one. Hello, instant shortage!
Scope out The Collective for some more in-depth coverage of the fall-out.
It’s kinda of fun to see that LOTR can still whip collectors into a state of frenzy. To those who genuinely wanted one, we sympathize.

The flipper thing really does urk me, as its just ruining it for real collectors who genuinely want to acquire the piece, however I dont see a way it can be stopped
In other news: Some great releases this Newsletter! The Thor is the highlight for the masses I assume and the Alien Model Kits look damn fine. Not a fan of the Alvin art prints this time round but his previous work will suffice
The only real meh release is the slightly lame SW dio.
It’s true what you say Neil…I don’t think flippers can be stopped from doing what they do, there just isn’t a way to go around it. I have the regular and exclusive on order…not sure what I’m gonna do yet, I like the color version a lot but the ES on this exlusive is crazy!
Can’t wait to see the rest of Thor… I think this will be a hot seller next week.
The SW diorama will work if they put the full Nexu and pillar in there somehow…not sure how else it would work.
Thanks for the link, Chuck
Flippers
Thanks for posting the link to the LOKI statue from Bowen. The shiny, green tights aren’t very hot, but it’s a cool looking statue nonetheless
50 faux, faux for you and none for me. Figured SS was up to something like the Grey Hulk effect with this one, wasn’t disappointed either.
But, I didn’t fall for the faux, and flippin’ ain’t my thang.
