Statue DC Bombshell line

[CallMeTheDoctor]

If it is going for 100, I'm going for it. Gonna order now from EE.

 

[Ladybugy]

Wow, it's no more than the others? In that case, I'm in, call it an early xmas present Now just need to wait for it to become available for pre-order in the UK.

The following means it's at the regular 125.00 price point, at least at this point we can be greatful that DC isn't price gouging {yet}:

Batman DC Comics Bombshells Joker and Harley Quinn Statue - DC Collectibles - Batman - Statues at Entertainment Earth

Not sure if anyone has seen this but Tim has defended the more Harley statues...

I'm seeing some complaining around the interwebs about there being another Harley in the Bombshell lineup. I'm going to share a few things with the complainers that should be common sense.

1. Sometimes we do popular characters more because they fund the other B and C list characters that don't necessarily sell as well. Line longevity is a good thing for everyone (unless the line stinks altogether).

2. Characters like Harley draw more people into your little comic book worldthat might not necessarily be into comics. I'd think inclusion would be a wonderful thing. Before somebody says 'well they're not real fans because they don't like the rest of ...' So what?! They're generating income for a company you presumably like, and who are you to say who a fan is?

3. Why wouldn't a company capitalize as much as they can on a popular character? I mean, really?!

So for those few people with their panties in a bunch: Relax, as long as the line remains successful we can probably all count on more characters besides Harley.

I see his point & it's totally valid...whore her out to fund the lower tier but infinitely better characters & we're all happy...Casual collectors & Harley Completists (Jetpacksam lol) rejoice in another Harley...the rest of us rejoice that the money made may get used to make someone we really want lol

It looks like the Harley issue isn't going away any time soon guys (and the new Gotham Garage Harley Statue proves just that) so we'll just have to grin & bear it for a bit longer

Did he ever stop to thing that people really don't want one of there favorite characters over-exposed and treated like a whore?
Just because you can do a thing doesn't nesa mean you should, and yes I totally get they decide what they feel is nesa. And the sad fact is there are enough people that sort of like Harley that it will keep the figure/statue from cratering in the sales department.
And I don't know that I buy his argument about less popular characters, at least in the Bombshell series. everyone not Harley has sold out, so how can he say that. A 20% ratio in a 15 statue {to that point} run is out of balance.Zatanna and is arguably the least known

Poison Ivy finally arrived today, really happy with the way she turned out, the paint work is very neat She actually looks better in person than the photos I've viewed online. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to upload decent photos, so these will have to do.

Nice pick up, love the Butterfly on her elbow. Be very careful, the vines are very frageelee.

They still could have gone with a wonder woman, supergirl, or black Canary variant and still have sold well.

I agree. So many great characters and they play it safe.

If I can control my OCD this may be the first one I skip.

My OCD had the better of me. Since it was only $99 I grabbed it. I do agree that it seems out of "theme" though.

 

[jetpacksam]

I think it's in theme and it fits in. It would have been better as the final statue IMO, due to it being a VE Day themed statue.

And though I am able to cap my interests outside this line, if its in this line, it's a must buy. but I don't consider that a problem.
I can't say i dislike one of them and am having a hard time picking a favorite.

"Sometimes we do popular characters more because they fund the other B and C list characters that don't necessarily sell as well."
Really? you think these aren't going to sell?
Unbelievable.
