Black Panther Premium Format Figure

[IronLungs31]

One possible explanation for the declining demand for the "classic look" of some characters is that the faction of fanbase which generally campaigns for those earlier renditions are getting older, already have their choice pieces, or no longer collect. We're seeing more modern pieces being done now likely because the next generation of comic collectors (from the 80s and 90s, as opposed to the 60s and 70s) now appear to make up a greater proportion of the spending fan base. In other words, it's their turn.

I think that we have waited long enough for our turn and now it's just over due.

This is actually a really nice looking statue. Very intriguing and detailed. It is actually just a different version or artistic interpretation of the character. It really is a masterpiece of a sculpt. If you get past your initial knee jerk reaction about this not being the version of Black Panther that you prefer, and why in the hell didn't SS make the one you were really wanting most, I think you will see that. It really is an awesome piece. Like others said, Bowen has the classic look nailed down, so why not make one that is different, and since this one is larger than Bowen, why not do one that has more detail, since a larger one can show more detail better? Do you REALLY want multiple statues of a character that look like exactly the same rendition of the character, or would you instead want different versions, to make a more interesting display?
I would like to have this, but I am running out of space, and I need to save space for the characters I really like. Plus, it looks like I might not be able to afford it this year. If I had 3 times the space I have, then I would buy this, because as an art piece, it is really a masterpiece.

I'm not questioning the artistry of this piece. Like I said, I really like the base and the pose.

But what's wrong with wanting a large scale statue of the classic Black Panther to sit next to my classic PFs of Thor, Cap, Namor, Thing and Iron Man? There's nothing "uninteresting" with that.

What if they did the PF Thor in his new armor instead of his classic look. Would people have liked that?

And it seems like most of the people that really like this aren't going to buy it for some reason or another.

We cant always get what we want. Solution= if you want a classic version, have one commissioned and stop whining already.

I like the classic costume better than the modern one. Hope they make one with the classic costume.

Bowen has a classic BP on their site that's great! I believe it's sold out at this point, so you may have to rely on eBay.

I think I like the Obsidian spear the most. Looks much more primitive.

Just imagine if Sideshow had the DC license and they did a similar PF sculpt of Batman.

Exclusive ES 500.

 

[kraigg007]

Ice Ice Baby! Sweet looking figure but I think 500 is a bit much for the exclusive. My thoughts are that they had about 300 orders and 300 waiting list and decided to bump up the number.
