Artisan Widow isn't an investment

If I understood Raygun in his recent YouTube short, he mentioned he hasn’t been able to get his yet b/c he preordered late, so his isn’t ready for him to pick up yet.Surprised Raygun hasn't reviewed this yet.
Edit:
Just saw Dean's review on the BB Jaxon sculpt he said he has this coming soon!
I know he's just being pedantic but to expand on the finer point here; these figures can almost never be considered viable financial investments. Even customs.It would be for my collection, this looks is the definitive Natasha for me
That's how I call them when i'm around the family so they think I know what i'm doing.Never think of this hobby as an investment, buy stocks if you wish to invest, or almost any other niche market if you have the knowledge. For example rare high quality books is a much better investment/store of value then hot toys figures if you know what you are buying. These pieces should be for display and enjoyment, they're terrible monetary investments.

They sell for slightly more than retail for a little while after release- some maybe even retain that increased value for several years, some lose it almost immediately- but, inevitably, the hobby progresses and old figures either deteriorate or become outdated first and then obsolete with the arrival of 2.0s, 3.0s, new versions from new companies etc. reducing their resale value and invalidating any investment intent.
Therefore, Widow would be just an addition to your collection.

Look, taste is subjective, and that subjectivity is further colored by the fact that these things cost a lot of money, so there's self-interest in "defending" the version you've personally invested in... And that's not even considering the additional confounding factors of bad feelings towards Hot Toys, optimism around InArt, etc...
As others have mentioned,
don’t buy the Artisan on the aftermarket, not worth it.
I had it preordered on Sideshow for retail and still cancelled it in favor of my customs and the new JND Ledger. If you’re willing to throw a grand at a Joker, go with JND Type A, as the custom route will lead you to putting up thousands to correctly source everything. Not to mention how difficult it is to obtain those parts from all over the world.
Even scoring this at retail + shipping at $600 USD is less of a bang for your buck than the $1,049 spent on Type A JND, it has far better clothing and new tech.
Heath was just over 6foot, by now means a short guy. I'm pretty sure the figure is accurate in 1:6.Wow... HT wins again!
HT's Joker makes InArt look so tiny... and that InArt is not a "tiny" figure on the shelf. Makes me concerned that this Artisan is a "new scale" again -- meaning, oversized.
I hope someone can measure it. Looks like it might be 12.5 inches tall.
Yeah I’m eagerly awaiting to takeHot Toys blew Inart out of the water, JND gonna blow Hot Toys out the water.
Nick, it's time for us to put aside our differences and usher in the new JND Jokor era.
(also I agree with what you said)
