| Still unique |
When you
think your statue is one of a kind limited edition and then you see the
assembling line one has to think all that harder to keep that frame of mind. But regardless the number of copies, yours is unique.
Mine feel unique despite this image because it’s still a human process. And
humans tend to even slightly vary the stroke of paint or the intensity of a
shadowing work or whatever. (But not that much because that’s a standard set and
one can’t deviate from this.) I look at my Sideshow Daredevil and it seems
unique to me even though once he was on a huge table with a thousand like him. This
one is mine and it’s numbered, and is sold out, hence limited. But seeing that
image above steals a bit of the glamour of uniqueness from the figure.
To be extremely honest and contradictory it doesn't steal that much because the assembling space looks so artisanal that you feel differently from what you would if you were seeing a mass market product assembling line. I like the artisanal aspect of our hobby, it’s what, besides the quality of the end product, separates a limited edition collectible from a Walmart toy. This and the weight of polystone. Yes the weight of polystone has a great deal of giving the statue it’s value and uniqueness. Yes, I guess I just love polystone.
