To be honest, if I had the space and money to hold to them, I wouldn't have sold any of my Sideshow pieces, especially the Premium Format figures, maquettes and life-size busts. I think that they are still too "new" on the market, and if you can give them 5 to 10 years, they will be worth a lot more than we paid! It is sad to see that most of the PF and busts sell for less than original retail right now. So pieces like the SSE Mummy will reach a "grail" like status with corresponding value, sometime in the future! Just my opinion...

So help me decide, fellow freaks. The wife has decreed that one of my Mummies must go to the auction block, but I am completely befuddled at deciding which one to part with. Yes, all of my other Universal pieces are SSEs, but I have to say that the color version of the Mummy has really grown on me. It matches the movie poster so well. And, truth be told, the color palette used in this piece is so limited that it takes on a sort of monochromatic effect on it's own.
What should I do?

I would keep the SSE. After seeing pics of it and owning the color, I think it looks better. However you could sell the SSE and essentially have a color Mummy that only cost you around $150.00 when you factor in what you will make on the SSE.RoboDad said:So help me decide, fellow freaks.

If the edition size had no influence, and going by looks alone, I'd definitely
keep the colored version of the Mummy PF. The painting on the lid having
so many vibrant colors really makes the difference to me, where on the SSE
it is just all grey, which to me is pretty dull looking in comparison.

if I were you, Id trouble shoot the future.
in other words, what if you decided later you made the wrong decision. Which one would you have the toughest time trying to pick up again a year+ from now?
for me at least , that answer would be obvious.
that said, I too plan to try to pick up the color eventually. I just like this piece that much. It would be the only color UniMonster in my collection.

You can get the color version for less than 300.00 on ebay. That's less than half the going rate for a black and white. A no brainer for me.

Heh. heh. heh. I say keep them both...if you can afford it. Otherwise, get rid of the one that will make you more money or the one you like the least depending on how badly you could use some extra cabbage.
I'm impressed Monster. But would you buy a color Masque, an SSE Masque or just skip it, or buy both? MOOOHOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

In this case I would have to buy the Red that is the whole point to the Masque. However, SSE would come first, So somehow I would have to get the cash for both of them.

That's a good argument for the figure, itself, but, once you factor in the sarcophagus, I think it becomes less compelling. The blues, reds. greens, and golds of the color edition bring out the detail much better than the grayscale scheme.RoboDad said:
But, since your PF UM collection is comprised of SSE's you should probably keep the gray for continuity, and, as others have pointed out, it may be the more difficult piece the track down in the future.
If you do decide to sell the gray, I hope you will offer it to a fellow board member in the the spirit of the "Mummy Lottery Buddy Thread." I recall Jeff A. Simon and Vince were both left out in the cold.
