That's cool - the longer I have to wait and the more I have to pay the more exclusive it'll feel.

Then they will say there is not difference in the rendering from the CG models they have in house.

Hopefully there will be no drop in quality between the prototype CG model and the actual production CG model.

It takes her over a year to get a render out. Buyer beware! But that render will be way more HD than the original, so it could be worth it.

One can purchase the endoskeleton only
And there are those who would pay the $299 just for the Lennon head sculpt. I've been in the hobby since 1999 and I don't remember any fully kitted figures costing $20-30... Some of the Dragon and BBI figures were already starting to reach the $100 mark back then, and they were often of mediocre quality with less articulation, less detail and intricacy/accuracy of design... Most of the head sculpts looked terrible in comparison with what we see with a high quality production figure today. To each his or her own, my friend. I don't mind paying the coin if I feel the quality is worth it. Simply stated, comparing figures from 1999 with those of today, especially using cost as the comparison, is a bit unrealistic in my opinion.

Molecule8 said:ludo0872 said:Hi,
Is this figure still planned for may ?? We're allready the 13th and no pics of the clothes... no pics of the full figure... no news... the process is still incomplete...
I'm still waiting for pics to preorder this John Lennon figure... I'm impatient and I don't want to miss it, but I need more to order it...
Any news or pics next week ?
Thanks.

Re: Molecule8 (New company)
Whaaat?
I've been in this hobby for that long and early figures from Dragon, BBI, and Sideshow were $30-$40 range. If you didn't know where to pick them up for normal prices, then you'd pay $50. Only Dragon's SOLDAT series and Cyber-Hobby exclusives started to run higher at $70. Hot Toys were $70-$100 and Medicom were $100-$150 but were always ridiculously overpriced here in the US (metal fasteners shouldn't cost that much more and most HT figures didn't have those).
Innovation isn't what's pushing the price hikes in this hobby, it's the rising costs of production in China and the limited sized production runs. Sideshow figures used to be sold at main stream retail like Suncoast and TRU, now they're increasingly exclusive through Sideshow.com and are in much smaller production numbers.

Re: Molecule8 (New company)
I was living in Japan at the time... Perhaps I was overpaying a bit, lol! I do remember some figures that were in the $50 range, but most I saw in Tokyo were more expensive. Most likely a mark-up. This is way before the ease of internet access and purchasing online. And I agree with you concerning reasons for the rising cost of figures, especially from certain brands.

Re: Molecule8 (New company)
Yes, you could buy the Sideshow Bond line at Towers Records (memba them?) for $29.99 on initial release. I know, because I bought them. And that was 2002.

Re: Molecule8 (New company)
Yup! Tower Records! What was the other one? Anyway, I bought my first figure at a small toy store in Akihabara, Tokyo... BBI Navy Seal, had a mouth that opened and closed using a key that you'd stick in a slot under the rubber skin on the back of the neck... Cost me about 9000 Yen or so (around $80 usd) if I remember correctly. Meh, maybe it was less. Ahhh, memories!
