    Do you consider the Faux Bronze statues a separate entity?

    Or do you consider them a part of the main statue collection?

    Also, how does Ultimate Captain America fit in?

    I don't consider them.

    Some might if they're hard core completests'. It more of personal opionion here.

    As a bust completest, I don't consider the alter-egos as part of me considering myself a completest.
    1. Faux bronze
    2. Not a superhero
    3. Couldn't buy them separately

    I buy for the painted Marvel super character. Not for bronze. Not for the base. Not for the number on the bottom.

    With that being said, the first piece I'd sell out of my collect would be Gold Bucky. Then it would be repaints.

    Only way I would buy a faux bronze, is if it was a character not released in color. Then I'd just have it painted.

    Not sure what you mean Denny on the Ultimate Cap. Is it because the character isn't from the 616 Universe? If so, that doesn't matter to me. He's still Marvel.

    B/W Cap is another story. He's not from the comics. He's before Marvel was Marvel.

    Well Ultimate Cap is sort of a stand alone piece in my opinion. No other pieces really go with it...so is it expendable?

    I sort of see it as Mini-Busts, Statues, Faux Bronze.

    I really dig a lot of the repaints, especially when you are talking costume variants or another character assuming the mantle.

    Bucky Captain America for example.

    Just thinking outloud.

    Ultimate Cap sorta stands alone like you said. Mostly big time Cap fans will put it with their other Caps, I'd guess.

    When I had the faux bronze pieces I considered it separate and displayed them in my office

    No way I display them in my office. I'd love to, but only if I had a key to lock the door.
