I don't get these custom junkies.....

[Darth Madden]

why did you buy it?

Because I started collecting Sideshow Gift Cards (I'm not sure why) and one of the last ones I needed was in a collection of SW fan club stuff so I had to get everything for the card.

Sooooo glad I ditched that mentality in the 90's with the SW soda cans. Looking back it seems crazy. Of course, in 20 years, when they're fetching millions, I'm sure I'll weep like a tittybaby.

There really the only "stupid" thing I collect becasue like you I gave up on all that little chotchy stuff a long time ago but for some darn reason I need those gift cards.

Ignore him. He actually bought into the hype of BobbyC's punched pubic haired non-Heath $1k Joker heads.

One Thousand Dollars for a head sculpt that wasn't a one off.

 

[bigbrocha]

Even $900 for a police Joker head sculpt is insane I don't care if Michaelangelo sculpted it himself, especially on a version of the Joker that was a flash in the pan, I'll just wait for headplay to recast it, haha!

I've seen so many good Joker customs it's hard to tell them apart now.

I'm perfectly content with two versions I have, even IF I had to touch up my DX02 Joker's bottom lip. -.-

If Michelangelo sculpted it itd be worth a heck of a lot more than for me

I've never understood how people can spend $200+ for a Hot Toys figure then repaint the head and put it on a different body.

*goes to theFwoosh where I read about how people can't understand how anyone pays over $20 for a toy*

A little dose of reality for 'ya

Yes, gotta love the reality where crappy movies are gettin milked just cuz there's enough catmen to drink it all up.

"Here is our $300 custom Gordan figure. We are friends with Hot Toys, they said they are not making one, so you can buy this now"

"We are only making $350 custom figure, not selling head sculpt, because we don't want our stuff recasted and sold for a fraction of the cost. . oh the body?? It's a recast body because legit bodies are too expensive, so it's much cheaper to buy recast at a fraction of the price, it allows us to keep our price low."

"I just spent $400 on a custom outfit, and $200 on a custom head, but no way in hell am I paying $50 for a TrueType body, I'll just buy a recast body for $25."

In WGP Indy thread, "I constantly amazed at the lack of tact from the members of this forum" . . . runs into HT Bespin Luke thread " Cmon, HT quit ******* around and release this thing already"

I love seeing the stuff get made in those threads, and there's some wonderful work being created, but those are a wacky bunch of characters posting.

nice one.

Yesterday I saw someone had listed and sold out the Hannibal Lector hand truck. It's that gurney he gets pushed around on. I think it was selling around $450-$500. All told the seller is bring in around $12,000. That is beyond insane, but a fool and their money is soon parted. If people want to blow their money, it's their choice, but again, insane!

I get it and don’t.
That autobot parody was funny.
Personally I like john he tries and takes the knocks and carries pn regardless.
Gotta respect that.
Not many would be that determined under constant p taking.

I think you might've just seen the price and stopped processing at that point. You're really dismissing what an impressive piece of 1:6 engineering the gurney is and the amount of work that went into producing a limited run for it. I'm not a fan of the franchise or Iminime's Lector (therefore wasn't interested in buying it), but that gurney's a piece of 1:6 art, IMO. Can't compare it to a mainstream SSC/HT release.
