No one's going to rip on you for collecting "dolls" if you show them a $500 receipt. After like $200, then it's art.
Batman's Cowl
Having this Batman Returns-style replica cowl around would remind us of our continual duty to uphold the principles of awesome. Though it doesn't pull on like Michael Keaton's rubbery mask in the film (this one's made of fiberglass), just under $500 is a totally reasonable price for something that might potentially attract Michelle Pfeiffer, if she still walks this earthly plane.
Alright, so sometimes we enjoy a little manga. Not a lot! But sometimes. One of those okay books is Fullmetal Alchemist, about two brothers well-versed in the art of alchemy. Life, not so much. One of those brothers, Alphonse, is trapped in the body of a suit of armor. Before you laugh at the privacy apron around his waist, the dude's like 14. Give him a break. You can nab this statue for $220 come next January, but I'd suggest pre-ordering now before the elderly Japanese privacy apron fetishists can save up the dough.
All you have to do is poke your eye out, and you'll look just like Nick Fury, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and star of the upcoming Avengers flick. Okay, you'll also need this coat, which you can swing for about $300. Even Hydra will be like, "damn."
Now this Deadpool statue is what we're talking about. Giant weapon, adorable moped: this is our beloved Merc with a Mouth at his finest. Taken from the cover of Deadpool #68, this primo piece can be yours for about $330.
What's not to love about this Captain Britain, except, depending on your orientation, his tremendous nether bulge? We're willing to ignore it (as best we can) to pay homage to the poor Brit's Captain America with this fine 16" statue. Pre-order directly from Bowen Designs for $225, or $180 if you join their Collector's Club.
You can't knock Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, but this is the Two-Face closest to our hearts. The wackadoo, vertically split get-up and neon green face come to life in this 1:2 scale Batman villain bust just perfectly. Cop it from Amazon for a slightly discounted $245.
Iron Man Gold Helmet
Everyone knows Tony Stark does it like a boss, but not everyone knows he once did it up in pure gold. Now that's ballin'. Do your head a favor and cover it up with this gold Iron Man helmet replica, based on his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #40. Hey, it's even on sale for $332! Now there's no reason not to get it!
If you haven't read Old Man Logan, a Wolverine tale by the inimitable Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick-Ass), you're seriously missing out. If you have, you're already ordering this Old Man Logan polystone statue despite the $235 price tag.
Don't get too close to this Carnage bust, despite those curiously kissable lips (are there still lips in there?). We're not really equipped to handle a symbiote invasion right now, k? This life-sized head will cost you a whopping $500, but since it's made by Sideshow, it's gotta be worth it.
Aww, it's the Joker's devoted girlfriend out taking her lovable hyenas for a walk. Won't you join Harley Quinn, Little Lou, and Baby Bud for a walk? This awesomely-sculpted statue will be out next month for $280, but it's always smart to pre-order.
Blade Vs Dracula Diorama
We've all had Blade on our minds since co-creator Gene Colan passed away this past week. There are plenty of worse ways to honor the guy than with this Blade Vs Dracula diorama from Sideshow, an investment that will cost you a solid $350. See, buying it is way more acceptable if you call it an investment.
