Also...a 1/3 scale IM? Hopefully the exclusive will be the Hulk
I dont think its fair to generalize that all second chance merchandise is flawed or second rate. In most cases 2nd chance is the result of cancellations close to the ship date. Then they sit on those items for a little while to ensure replacement pieces as well as drum up interest. Nothing makes people want something more then a "sold out" tag. Then they put them up for second chance. I have bought many a statue on second chance and never had an issue.
Usually if the "second chance" stuff is flawed Sideshow does an Express Update and sell the goods at a reduced cost. Those pieces are returned statues or flawed pieces they couldnt sell out. Also, unless Sideshow discloses the damage up front and offeres a reduced price, they are always willing to give a refund when no replacements are available.
Will it require a Non-Refundable deposit? Maybe, SSC is touch and go with those things. Could it be a $1000, it will all depend on who is involved. Sideshow's licensed 1:3 pieces aren't that expensive in comparison even if you move up cost due to natural rise in materials, etc you still could come under $1000. If its an actual Stan Winston Studios/Sideshow Collaboration it might be closer to $2000. The FlexPay option should be interesting to watch because it'll really be the option for most collectors.
If its 1:1 I guarantee you it'll hang out for quite some time and collectors will have the chance to save up. If its a 1:1 you'll see a lot of my stuff for sale and a lot of stuff canceled out because I know I'm not missing that.
SS's CEO has confirmed it to be 1:2 scale.
On Chat. Its the Iron Man above in the Twitter pic but we were wrong on the size, its 1:2 scale not 1:3. I will own this but if there isn't an exclusive then I'll definitely go where I can find the best price even if its via eBay.
I quote my thread. I have said it should be 1:2 scale which appears in DVD and my anticipation is correct. In fact, there were hints at the "Ask SS" on 12 March, 22 April and 6 May suggesting that they will issue this 1:2 scale prop replica from SWS. Cheers:chew:chew:chewI want to share this pic which I captured it from my IM art book. The IM on the pic was the prototype created by Stan Winston Studio for the movie. It is just exactly the same to the one from TwitPic. Such prototype model also appears in the IM DVD/blue ray and it appears to be 1:2 scale. Same to many of you, I must buy it if it is truly released and hopefully it is not too heavy.
