Without question they should have the art print. Not even as an EX just include it like the Star Wars Mythos. The Art print on this one is amazing.

As much as I'd love that, it'd drive me nuts if they did since Poison Ivy didn't get one.

It should have come with one as well. Seems they are skimping out on the DC exclusives, with the exception of Superman. Wonder if it was a conscious decision by SS or something mandated by DC? Maybe it was part of their sinister plan to become rich by decreasing value in the exclusives while at the same time increasing edition sizes. That way all statues will eventually be worthless and the whole statue market will implode

Oh absolutely. Won't hear any arguments from me on that. All three of 'em should have/had prints with them. Absolutely love Artgerm's work.

I thought everyone hated the Print as an Ex.
Switchout an Print would be ideal. Admit the Ex on thus is weak.
SS seem to include C.O.H with the Reg more and more lately leaving less options for the Ex.

Just trying to keep this thread away from ES BS

Funny thing is on previous statues I bought I would agree with you, but for some reason these DC pieces just scream for a print companion to me. I agree with you that some kind of switch out along with the print would be ideal.

Why all the hostility guys. These are beautiful statues. ES shouldn't matter but it does to some and I get why. At the end of the day you still have an incredible piece of art to proudly display. However, constantly complaining about high ES's is sorta annoying. I just cant wait to keep collecting. These statues arent just for an elite few to be able to enjoy. Its for anyone who can get em.

Compare the 2 or 3 or 6k ES sizes made to how many collectors there are worldwide that cant get these we are still a very small number of collectors

I've always been in favor of including a print with the EX. The Batman PF box was beautiful but I don't display boxes. The art on the box as a print that I can display with the statue=WIN.

At the very least I would love for SS to provide an opportunity to buy a print, maybe giving the artist a commission on it or something.

Agreed. Just the option would be nice--though I'd probably be afraid to see what SS would charge. Also, there would be people *****ing about the ES of the print.

I know it has not YET,

but if higher Edition Sizes finally gets Sideshow to hold their prices then I am all for it.

 

[Tavegg]

Art prints are lame. If you really want to show off your stuff get a Fatboy wall decal done. That's the ticket fellas. About a hundred bucks and Poison Ivy will be your wall

So


I will never understand why this makes people so angry.

Nobody complains that their car isn't worth what they paid as soon as they pull it off the lot.

It's a statue. Like it buy it. Want it to increase in value... Ummm you are in the wrong business.

These things increasing in value is just a nice Bonus. When I first started buying these things I had no idea the value would jump up on some of them. It was nice that it did but I did not buy it for that reason.

Sure they are expensive pieces. But if that is what upsets people I will happily point them to their nearest Toys R US. Again if the price you are paying is an issue then it's best to find another hobby now because truth is that the days of a piece being made and increasing in value to $1500 - $2000 is probably long gone. Not unless you keep it in the box and pass it down to your great grand kids.

Now if you want to make the argument that a higher edition size might effect QC then by all means. SSC should make sure they are stepping that up.

However I think the issues with batman had more to do with the difficulty of the piece and how to ship it then just "bad" QC.

Lmao csi and JAWS shut that argument down.

 

[BlackOptimus]

So is the entire thing perfect now? haha

Yes.... Purrrfect.

 

[m.c.d.spargo]

Let me guess you are a liberal . Last time I checked the goal of Sideshow was to make a profit, is it not? The correct argument is your a troll who is apparently not worth wasting time on. I don't give a damn about the edition size of a statue! I don't care what the reason is for Sideshow increasing their edition size. All I care about is being able to buy a statue that I will enjoy. If you want to troll message board to whine about edition sizes and pretend that your speculation about the reason behind them is more enlightened the the rest of us, have at it. At the end of the day I'm going to be happy, enjoying the new edition to my collection, while you wallow in self pity all bitter about something as stupid as the number of statues a company makes of any particular figure.

No, I'm not a liberal. It's quite obvious that you being wrong is regular thing. I expected you to resort to name calling because that's what simple minded people do. You say I'm a troll because I stated that Sideshow has been increasing their edition sizes and prices. If I'm a troll for speaking the truth then you must be a fairy for excepting deception. I have no self pity or bitterness, but I know you do because of the fact that I'm more enlightened than you.

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

Just to be clear, I'm a liberal

 

[m.c.d.spargo]

You can't argue with the fact that Sideshow has raised their prices and edition sizes. They can make a million of these statues for all I care, as long as the prices drop and the quality rises I'm all for it.

I think the Ex on this is fine because we are getting a lot with this item. A switch out head and cat are nice and above and beyond what usually comes with a reg. Prints IMO should come with the Reg also. I am one of the few that sort of hates Ex or fail. I feel bad if I or others miss out on an important Ex that one must have or it's not worth having. Like Rhino comiquette. I would have to have the EX for the switch out head because the one that comes with the reg is so darn ugly.

It should have come with one as well. Seems they are skimping out on the DC exclusives, with the exception of Superman. Wonder if it was a conscious decision by SS or something mandated by DC? Maybe it was part of their sinister plan to become rich by decreasing value in the exclusives while at the same time increasing edition sizes. That way all statues will eventually be worthless and the whole statue market will implode

See I think they sort of skimped with Superman.... Batman and Catwoman come with switch out heads on the Regs. Then they give us a little something extra. Superman just has a Switch out head. Now I guess saying Skimped out is not the right wording as an extra head is a nice EX. But I just don't look at the other DC characters as skimping out since the Reg are already loaded.

Oh and Joker EX had an Extra head also.... I know Harley does also but I don't know if that is just for the EX.

Just to be clear, I'm a liberal

Looks like we will be having some lively debates out on Shark Diving trip

You can't argue with the fact that Sideshow has raised their prices and edition sizes. They can make a million of these statues for all I care, as long as the prices drop and the quality rises I'm all for it.

Usually when Quality rises then the Price goes up also.

Having said that... With the exception of Batman (which again I believe was just a very complicated piece to do and ship and did not have much to go with QC) what other SSC pieces are having all of this "lack of quality"

Add that to the fact that their customer service is pretty great. They either replace a broken item, offer you a rebate, or if they don't have anymore of the item they give you a full refund. What's the problem???

Most of these guys are Sideshow Kool-Aid drinker fanboys.

Keep the nastiness coming. Zzzzzz.

How about **** off? Thanks.

 

[JAWS]

You will never win an ES argument around here. Most of these guys are Sideshow Kool-Aid drinker fanboys. I like the company a lot but if they would do ES 5000 or 6000 for DC I would understand. 3000 for DC is unfortunately unlikely for such a big license. Also Sideshow's quality at these 9500 ES numbers is a total joke. Half the statues had issues and the fanboys still take it. LMAO. Not me. These guys on here can say "Sideshow is amazing yada yada, ES doesn't matter, etc." Well, the fact that Superman, Batman, Harley and Wonder Woman haven't sold out and the Ex waitlists are still open speaks VOLUMES. How long has Batman been PO-ing? Two years. And the fact that his Ex is selling for $500 is a joke. Give it a couple years when they release an actual quality Batman PF and this PF won't sell for half its retail price just like the 9500 LOTR ES stuff that Sideshow did years ago. I rarely come on here anymore 'cause it's too many fanboys and not enough substance. Just imo. And you get attcked the moment you mention anything remotely realist about this company. As for me, I've been taking my business elswhere and it looks like other people have been too. Pretty soon Batman will be gift card eligible, Mark my words. Peace out. The Bishojo statues from Koto are low-price, high ES and good quality and always increase in value. Sideshow lately does high price, low quality and super high ES. No thanks. They've already lost 1000 dollars in sales from me this year because of this.

MisterMark - You know I love ya but when maiking an argument please stay away from the SS fanboy comments like you have above... That's as bad as the "Haters" comments made at those who don't like something SSC is doing.. It adds nothing to the discussion except a lack of originality and hostility.
