I wish price on statues stay reasonable. Maybe with more new companies, it will do so. But don't seem like it :rotfl
considering things aren't selling out like they used to i'm sure we'll start seeing some prices come down, since we know these edition sizes aren't.
 
There's only been one, possibly two, 'hating'.

Awesome but way overpriced imo. Five PFs or this?...

That's fair not in everyone's price range but at least it's not an aftermarket jack like XM right now, those are beauties for sure but like your argument states, one XM or 5+ PFs. I'm lucky enough to afford either or but I do see how it's a crazy amount of $
 
My two biggest problems with the piece is one the belt buckle as I previously mentioned and two it really needed to be numbered from a collecting standpoint. What does limited edition actually mean? Every time they get enough orders they'll make some more? Hell the Wolverine and Iron Man Legendry's are still available to buy.
The statue really looks amazing though. Once I get my cape chain in I'll put some more pics up. You need to see it in person to understand how good it looks.
I don't understand why people are trolling this thread about the price so much. Ok you don't think any statue is worth 2k well don't buy it. I think the XM stuff is super overrated with the exception of the Magneto but I'm not going to go to those threads and tell people I wouldn't pay $999 for that. If they like it I'm happy for them. This board is about collecting, sharing your collection and being happy for the people that got the statue they wanted. You want to troll you should probably hit up Facebook or Twitter.

I seriously doubt it. They aren't selling out cause they have started mass producing them. Wonder Woman is a great example. They made 9500 of that statue. Those are crazy high numbers. That non exclusive statue will never be worth more than retail price. Also for the most part the exclusives are selling out just not the regular versions.
They have started using a lot of plastic in their statues too I'm assuming to cut production costs even more. If anything they'll just look at XM sales/after market, cut the numbers and raise the price if they're not selling out.
I will applaud Sideshow for not letting retailers order exclusive statues. That is definitely one thing they are doing right.

Wise words my friend. :clap

Btw I rarely see 999$ for XM it's always 2-3k

Retail on all of them is $999 or less but ya after market is crazy!
It's 2K+ for the popular pieces (Mags and soon Thanos, Wolvie, and Phoenix) in the aftermarket. Also, all of the XM pieces are priced in SGD. In USD, these pieces usually retail around $700 USD. It's the shipping that kills international collectors. It was almost $300 USD to get Mags shipped to me. None of XM's pieces retail for $2000.
 
you really think Wolverine is gonna reach the price of his LSF counterpart? The classic mask looks nice on this one too.
 
Here is my verdict:
Dr. Doom kicks @$$! Is he over priced? Maybe, but he is clearly the most imposing statue in my collection. I got Saruman and the Queen this week, but Doom made my year. This is the statue that made me sell my 1/6th collection, and I am glad he turned out so well. If you are on the fence, get this guy. He will put your other 1/2 scale statues to shame.
 
That photo comparison with Doom vs. Wolverine is crazy. Hard to believe the size difference is that notable, but there it is.

Doom delivers. Congrats, all!
