Premium Format Deadpool PF (Ver. 2)

[Rulk]

This argument has never made any sense. You presume that every got the $250 when it's probably a small fraction. Most people don't have the time to stay up 24/7 to collect reward points for statues. Connecting higher prices with rewards given out makes even less sense. In the Harbottle (SP?) post he clearly lays out why they priced it that way and rewards had nothing to do with it.

Actually Greg the CEO mentioned promotions ( such as pricing promotions ie coupons) are one of the many factors that go into it. So again, you are wrong.

Good read. Made more sense for me now. Had to cancel hulk v wolverine. Interested in SS avengers assemble line. Waiting for their reveal tomorrows . If it disappoints then this deadpool it is! Lol

What did the guy who sculpted this specific statue say?
That's what I thought...
This thread is about Deadpool not every other statue. try to keep up.

You do know the owner of the company / CEO is the one that ultimately determines pricing and product placement?

With all due respect to Will, he's not the one going to China or in charge of production..

It's standard procedure... Apple's CEO Nintendos CEO etc etc etc etc etc etc most often do the strategic planning / determination of pricing for a business and their products.

man you really are dense.

these stupid polls dont do anything.

I can tell you cannot comprehend simple logic so refer back to the email posted in regards to Deadpool. Try to keep up..

Will was adding to Greg's earlier post... its really not that complex...

and to the other idiots that keep saying the paint isnt as good as XM and quality control is slipping...

I just sold the one on the right... for the one on the left + Gamora & Angela

I think the paint kills anything XM has released lately.. let alone the portrait sculpts.

Thank Lemmy for the ignore function here

LOL, wow, aren't some people bitter and angry.

You think it makes you such a beacon of intelligence to call people idiots left and right?

 

[lucifixion]

The argument that doesn't make sense to me is why a collector community that purchases a piece for $300 and sells for $1200 on eBay complains about price constantly

I didn't spend 24-7 on the computer to acquire those points (it was relatively easy thanks to twitter notifications and social media)... and that's just counting the past three spooktacular events

If you've never resold a piece at a profit then maybe you should find other ways to cut down costs

It shouldn't be THAT hard.

This makes no sense, Rulk. I shouldn't have to flip old pieces to make money to buy new ones. What does that have to do with anything?

Sounds more like the other forum

Interesting comments in this thread. Personally I love both sideshow and XM. I do believe XM do great portraits just look at Black Panthers unmasked face sculpt. Can't fault that at all.

This is one fantastic piece no doubt. I love the base of it also. Every Marvel fan should pick this one up!

Except your using pictures of a SS Prototype as an example... IMO it's pretty rare that a SS production statue comes out as good as the pictures of a prototype statue.

If SS statues always looked like the prototype picture people would be saying XM who... But the prototypes are painted by professional painters at I imagine a very expensive price compared to production pieces being quickly painted at factories..

As for portrait sculpts, yeah I agree some of XM earlier female portraits have been so so but all their new stuff looks amazing, Catwoman's portrait is sexy as hell... Now XM Male portraits have all been really good...

That's actually a production piece. It does look pretty amazing.

If so that does look really good but I will still hold off judgement until I see in hand pictures from customers...

Power Girl production portrait came out very bland compared to the prototype, but Batgirl production portrait came really close to the prototype... you just never know... Hopefully with the increase in pricing will get more consistent quality from the factories...

So you, a guy who doesn't work at Sideshow, has better info than the guy who designed said statue and told everyone the details on the high price.
That's a good one. Do you have anymore?

Edit - Why are the mods allowing this angry poster to insult people? I don't normally put up with this stuff so if he's not told to stop expect me to join in.

I agree with that also. That Spiderman Comiquette J Scott Campbell turned out not to the same standard as the prototype shown at Comic Con. The fabric look of his suit was altered to less appealing.

Also they got super lazy with the webbing and just gave it a black wash which was uneven and even blobbed on some statues. I had the ex and sold it within maybe a week's time.

I still have mine but it's not really a stand out piece! I love the unmasked portrait and that's the only good thing with this one. Yes the black wash was not a good idea at all. I'm hoping this Deadpool turns out exactly like the prototype
