Premium Format Deadpool PF (Ver. 2)

[NorthernLadMSP]

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...

Yup, they posted a blog and with production photo pics (the pic above is one of the pics from that blog).

Personally, I think Power Girl looks great, but I do wish I had the EX head, it looks much better than the regular.

The main issue I have with paying $700 for a Sideshow piece is basically what you stated (in bold). You literally never know what you're going to get. You could get a flawless piece, you could get something like Red Sonja (horrible skin paint).

Yeah I saw the blog but it just said "More pictures of Captain Marvel" it didn't say anything about it being production pictures, when it comes to SS I'm always skeptical due to past stuff like the Artist Signatures debacle awhile back, so for me anyways, unless they state exactly what they're showing I always take it with a grain of salt...

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.

Yeah, that one bothered me quite a bit. That prototype though was outstanding - I really wish we would have gotten that.

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.

You have got to be kidding me...

you told me to "keep up" ... This whole thing was you being abrasive over something as trivial as "several factors go into pricing"

I never said I was an expert ... I was stating the obvious, but continue beating that dead horse hypocrite.

I guess the email has been deleted but from the horse's mouth

Some of the factors that go into pricing (FROM Sideshow CEO)

- promotions (which is an expense to the company look it up...)
- advertising (another expense)
- complexity of sculpt (expense)
- production costs (expense)
etc etc etc etc

all those combined go into the actual pricing of the Deadpool statue in particular since the email was talking specifically about Deadpool

Im beating a dead horse because your stupidity hurts my brain... and I'd appreciate it if you stopped talking out of your *** when it comes to things I did and did NOT say in the first place.

I wonder if SS would of been better off starting a new category for Deadpool, like "" HD Premium Format "" a higher quality statue for a premium price, that would allow them to compete with XM and Prime 1....

 

[KainSwiss]

That is actually a very good point. You don't see premium formats at this price point.

I guess the mods don't care so here goes. You go through this entire thread acting like your OPINION is the only one that matters. You insult people who do not agree with you by calling them idiots, etc. You then call me abrasive for calling a spade, a spade, and use that excuse to call me names again. The thing that you do best is just ignore what the guy who made the statue said and keep pushing your ********. I'm not going to keep debating such a pathetic ******* who feels it's his job to be a blind fanboy who must protect Sideshow, at all costs. Think what you want and I will do the same. In the meantime keep talking **** over the internet because your such a brave soul.

In closing and my last comment before ignoring you....**** you neck-beard.

You're a foul one Mr. Deadpool..

Can't we all just get along

I definitely think it's a good idea, but I'd just rather see Sideshow raise the bar - rather than offering less quality vs. higher quality categories. Just make it all "HD".

All this fighting is getting me so turned on.
