Hi Didier,
I had some trouble to find a fine looking WW indeed. In fact, I had to search in almost 4 stores to find mine, and as you can see in the previous post, she is not 10/10 (due to a rather clumsy paint job, which seems to have become an habit concerning the DC collection, but it is just my opinion).
I will go in Paris to buy my comics next WE (some JB titles and others things ...), so I will have a look at the Gael or Pulp's store to see if I can pick up one for you if you want, but I don't promise anything ...

My former neighbor who was posted to London a few years back, and has
thus become my "connection" for this addiction, this morning emailed to me
this picture of what's sitting waiting for me on the kitchen counter of his
house in Fairfield (CT). . .

Until such time as the latter have a more substantial representation, I'm
displaying the Marvel and DC figures in the same case.
That picture is a few months old. Several Marvel figures have been added,
including customs.

Recently, while I was dusting my figurines, I had the idea to put Thanos and Doomsday side by side : the pose of both figurines are strangely the same (almost identical by 99% imo), except the fact that Doomsday holds Supe's torn cape and Thanos's hand is empty.
I am beginning to wonder if EM artists are running out of poses ...

Look at Spider-Man, Iceman, Daredevil and Nightcrawler and ask that
question.

JB, I love that display case/wall unit. Where did you find that? I'd love to get one to start displaying my DC figures once we get them in the US.

This page should help you out, Scott. . .

The one I have is the 10 Replica Display case.

JB: The display cases on the Danbury Mint site appear to be enclosed (at least the top and sides, but it also appears that there is a glass front when zooming in), but your case just appears to have open glass shelves with a wooden base and back. Have you chosen to simply go with the glass shelves minus the sides and front? It would be nice to have and enclosed display case for figures this size -- it would greatly reduce the amount of dusting required to keep the display looking sharp, but looking at your case and the ones on the Danbury Mint site, I can't tell if they are enclosed display cases or just a open glass display shelves. Can you elaborate?
