Not me but Steve Dauwe (Belgium fan) has bought them.

Did Alice ever wear that black outfit on the BDB tour?
Move aside, mere drop of water - let the ocean pass.
Re: Statues
I saw these yesterday and though "oh they're cool" until I saw the price. I know that stuff like this can go for very high money, but these are still well out of my price range for what they are.

Re: Statues
The inaccurate blending of eras in various Alice figurines drives me nuts. Of these two new statues, you have Killer/SO-era Alice atop a BDB-themed platform and then a strange blend of Nightmare red pajamas with straitjacket (not sure if this combo appeared during BODF in the Nightmare TV special, but that's the only possible instance I can think of). It's like the old McFarland diorama: great to see the leopard-skin boots, but disappointing to see the pairing with a leather outfit. The only one I've really liked so far is a little Alice with snake from the Madhouse Rock tour (can't recall the manufacturer) that does not merge styles from different tours.

Still, I'd love to have them, but I have neither the space to enjoy them nor the extra money to blow on them.

I'm in the same camp, nice pieces but I'm not spending over £200 on them.Si wrote:I saw these yesterday and though "oh they're cool" until I saw the price. I know that stuff like this can go for very high money, but these are still well out of my price range for what they are.

are they intentionally going for a career homage perhaps?
