    Prime 1 / Shumi Arts - M3GAN - 1/3 Statue

    Man, I might need to break my rule. This looks really good....

    Prime 1 / Shumi Arts - M3GAN - 1/3 Statue

    I like the concept, but I can't bring myself to buy statues of children - even if it is "horror". Great concept though, and once again.....proving that "hyper realism" does not necessarily equal silicone.

    DarkSide Collectibles : Batman Returns - Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) 1:4 & 1:3

    I might pick this version up, when it goes on discount. It could be an interesting project for a repaint and the addition of "real" hair.

    JND Studios 1/3 1992 Batman Returns Catwoman

    I think the non costume versions really add something....at the very least, it offers JND an opportunity to distinguish their vision from the other companies. Like many have said, it's unlikely others will explore those aspects of characters - so you're really buying something unique.

    JND Studios 1/3 1992 Batman Returns Catwoman

    There's nothing to discuss. You brought together a collage of photos as a comparison, which compares Apple's with Orange's - I'm just spitting facts. If you want to do a real comparison, either you wait until ALL are available as in-hand items, or you find a professional level photo of the...

    JND Studios 1/3 1992 Batman Returns Catwoman

    It's clear to me that the Blitzway piece photo is in the worst possible lighting. Not to mention, our friend is comparing an amateur photographers in-hand photo to professional photos of prototype pieces...... This is why you can't trust anything you see on the web....too many hidden agendas...

    JND Studios 1/3 1992 Batman Returns Catwoman

    I'm one of those "rare" collectors who values JND's realism over being 100% accurate to the actor/actress. However, I'm also acutely aware that, that is not what's being marketed or advertised - and I think JND is doing a disservice to both themselves and their customers by hyping themselves up...

    JND Studios - Justice League Superman

    I'd suggest you are indeed correct to cancel. I don't write that suggestion because I necessarily agree with your points, but simply due to the fact that you're not convinced by the piece. That said, I think this has turned out extremely well. I mean, if you were convinced by the prototype...

    JND Studios - Justice League Superman

    Yeah, that's a lot of money to spend on a piece that you're not sure about. For what it's worth, I believe this is certainly one of the best Henry Cavil Superman pieces out there, alongside Queen Studios 1/3 Black Suit version.....that said, let's be real about this, these pieces are going to...

    JND Studios - Justice League Superman

    Maybe I'm wrong, but that new "hair" looks sculpted to me....I wonder if this is a new direction for JND, as they've already set the precedent on their 1/6 Bruce Wayne (which I thought, at the time, was an awkward backwards step!) - maybe they were getting us ready to accept this revised design...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    So true....all of it, but people are having a hard time coming to terms with this new reality, and I think it's going to take a little longer for the penny to really drop. I believe, what we're seeing now, is just the beginning of the down turn. I think, one of the biggest factors to hurt...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    It could just be the "flipper" crowd / mentality. I wonder how many collectors saw the JND hype, and the way WW84 was selling way over retail on the secondary market - and bought up proceeding JND pieces as a speculative purchase - hoping they could flip it and turn a profit later on. It looks...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    Agreed, I've been hunting for WW84, no chance - at least not, at or below retail.....that said, I expect most of 2023 releases to be hitting the bargain basement after they start shipping in 2024/25, during the usual annual sales events. Ultimately, retailers can only sit on stock for so...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    100% agree. Blitzway AND Prime1 suffer from the age old "bait and switch" - when it comes to prototype vs production. This is why I suggested that this was Blitzway's win - IF they don't F it up. I'm not convinced that people will stampede to JND if Blitzway (inevitably) drop the quality in...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    That's fair, my argument is solely focused on pricing. If the JND piece(s) were more competitively priced, there would be a justifiable basis for "brand loyalty" and artistic preference, however, as it stands - even for individuals such as yourself, who prefer the JND arrangement over Blitzway...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    Let's be honest, when it comes to The Witcher, it's Blitzway's win....they need to absolutely F it up - spectacularly - to even get the JND piece to start looking like a worthwhile purchase. Right now, a person would have to be a sworn fan of JND (rather than Henry Cavil, or even The Witcher...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    Congratulations 😀😀, I'm so glad you like the piece! For a minute I was worried you'd be affected by the hype, and the reality might not have met your expectations. The price is a bitter pill to swallow, that's for sure - what's even more worrying, this was the price of this "top draw" piece when...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    I deleted my post, because it completely ran counter to my assertion that "I'm not trying to persuade you...." - it's far too easy with these things to find yourself in an argument (pro or contra) over these pieces. If you think it's overpriced, buck toothed and nothing like Gal Gadot I've got...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    I'm not debating likeness, that's purely subjective and really not worth discussing. I was challenging the "it's a terrible piece" statement. I think we can have a constructive discussion over whether a piece is "terrible" on a technical level, where it's artistic merits would have us going...

    JND: Justice League Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) Platinum 1:3

    I honestly respect your opinion, and your use of hyperbole "that looks absolutely terrible"......I'd be very interested in knowing what you would pitch against this statue from your personal collection. Something you have spent money on, which therefore (in your opinion) is far superior than...
