Haven't seen in person myself but my friends who have seen/purchased them said they're amazing.<br /><br />Bob was just telling me last night the detail on the Rocketeer. We saw the busts the Disney Theme Parks are doing (Captain Hook and Tinker Bell) and they can't even compare to the detail in those done by Grand Jester Studios from what I've been told.DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-54414605291866536722009-05-26T03:06:38.676-04:002009-05-26T03:06:38.676-04:00These busts look great!

I have all seven and really love them. I swore I wouldn't collect anything outside of WDCC but looks like I've faultered. I was hoping they would come with COA's but they did not. Its amazing how much detail is captured in these "busts" truly is amazing. They are much larger than the busts of Beast and Belle.Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244113060234800427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-72057167690123909592009-05-12T06:14:00.000-04:002009-05-12T06:14:00.000-04:00Thanks William, Much Appreciated!

Flotsam and Jetsam as well as parts of Ursula are not matte so they have a slippery look to them and Triton's crown and gauntlets on his wrists are also shiny, for example. So there are great accents on each piece.William O.

I first saw these ...Yes the prices are incredible. I first saw these on display at comic-con last year in Sideshow's area and thought they would go for twice what the are. I've always liked the idea of busts and i've always liked a "matte" paint more than glossy or shiny look that comes on the porcelins as it makes the characters look more like they do in the movies. So I am really happy about this series.<br /><br />Maleficent is my fav Disney character so I would love for her to be included. Other characters I think would look great for busts are The Incredibles, Beast and Belle as pairs (I also like the pairs Behr), Alice with a wonderland styled base would be cool, and you can't really have a bust series without Jessica Rabbit can you? lolWilliam O.

Th...I agree with William that these are incredible. The quality is just as good if not better than WDCC. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in the 3rd quarter releases because I like the whole concept of pairs of these like the original from Beauty and the Beast in WDCC. I think they display best as pairs. Triton and Ursula are my favorites by far. I've wanted a piece that included the eels and they look great. I sure hope they add Lilo and we need another piece to add with Tink from Peter Pan, maybe Smee as he could go with Hook. The price point is a nice value as well.Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244113060234800427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-83770083985160784362009-05-08T05:49:00.000-04:002009-05-08T05:49:00.000-04:00Hi William,

I've yet to see them in person, have only seen the pictures so far.<br /><br />From photos, Triton and Ursula are my favorites.
