Sideshow's Maleficent bust (or, I can't believe I want to buy a bust)

I want to buy a bust. I literally cannot believe myself. I was just going on and on in my Spider-Woman post about how I can't get into busts, because to me they look disembodied. I almost feel like someone was eavesdropping on my ranting against them, plotting to make a bust I couldn't live without. And now, here one is. CURSE YOU SIDESHOW!

This Limited Edition bust of my favorite Disney villain of all time, Maleficent, is limited to 1500 pieces and stands 10.5 inches tall and was manufactured by Enesco, LLC. She retails for about $79.99, which is not bad for a polystone collectible of this size. She isn't due out until the first quarter of 2010, so perhaps I can save a few pennies by then and make a special place in my home for her. If you're more of a Little Mermaid type, there's an Ursula bust too. What can I say ... I have a soft spot for female villains!
