I'm going back to my motherland this coming December for my monthlong holiday. I'm very excited this time because I will be attending Manila Comic Con and Philippine Toy Convention. What makes it more interesting is that a lot of local artist/exhibitors will showcase their TALENT..I MEAN TALENT
look at these photos below...
I will definitely get one of these

These are life size bust:):)

Stan Winston once said that modern toy and bust sculptors are comparable with sculptors from the Renaissance.

...sculpting marble seems harder than sculpting plastic to me though. ;)

yeah i was just wondering how much something like that would go for, i guess it would depend on how much work is involved in what you want made, but around how much do they go for? if anyone knows..

25 maximum per bust/figures

Ooooh pasalubong! :D

BTW drop by the Transformer Philippines (TFPH) booth and say hi to the guys there. Look for Mr Marc Cerbo or Azrael Colladilla - founders. Im sure they'll be happy to entertain you and help you in scouting out the bargains. Just tell Marc you know me - Neil. Already mentioned that your attending the Xmas Toyfair to him.;)

They're in The Philippines my friend hehehhe..1 peso is equivalent to $34(at the moment, come December I'm hoping $40)

2 ft figure is priced at P6500 = roughly $200 not bad considering Bowen?marvel statues will cost us $200 (limited to 500.. how can be 500 limited?) Philippine made figures are limited to 50(maximum)
