Eh, that part makes sense. It's supposed to be part of a mansion attack theme. They're not exactly being subtle and stealthy, so turning into Rogue does nothing for her.

Besides, if you think an X-23 claw arm ex is lame imagine how lame an arm with just a different colored sleeve would be.

Do they charge extra for the exclusive’s now or is it just certain pieces. I’m sure people would pay a little extra for the long hair portrait

Sideshow started charging more.They did the same thing back in the day

Po up 570.00, with shipping 625-650.00 depending on East or west coast.

Now that's a cool Ex

Too FN expensive. Plus lack of altrnate head hurts this piece.

That promo pic really hurt this piece.

It's not like all statues come with a change of head. A lot do, but if not for that promo pic, they 'might' have been able to get away with it.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

Which promo pic?

The one which showed the darkened 6? characters on the promo.

It's why so many collectors on both forums thought we were almost guaranteed to get a change of head with long hair and possibly another firearm with a scope on it.

If this was the case I would’ve bought it.

Yeah. I don’t think the reception will have been this negative if it wasn’t so hyped up by the promo pic. After I let the initial disappointment settle down, I feel like it’s not as bad as I initially thought. It’s still really expensive for its simple design and poor exclusive though lol.

I agree with your statement on the reception on this piece.

And frankly every new piece that comes out is perceived by many as being priced too high. I think the only piece people haven't complained about the price was the Wolverine vs Hulk Maquette.

When I first got into statue collecting 3 years ago I could get instock pieces from Popcultcha at retail for $550 AUD. Now three years later it's $900 AUD or so for new preorders.

I know this has a lot to do with the devaluation of the Aussie dollar, but if I worried about the same percentage increase as a lot of US collectors did, I would've had to stop collecting almost immediately.

I guess I've just grown numb to any price increases. If I like a piece I buy it, and assume that if I ever try to sell it I would get almost nothing for it.

I've been collecting for years. Where ordinarily I would purchase characters I like and enjoy, now it's really pick and choose. And choose wisely. I know people would say "Prices increase, deal with it" I truly feel like Sideshow and other companies are pushing prices up just to see how much we're willing to pay before we break.

Very unfortunate in my opinion. Oh and I hate Sideshows customized looking pieces, so that does make it easier when they pull that crap.

God. The new batman PF is horrible. It’s overpriced too for such a mediocre statue and weird EX lol It’s the worst PF out of DC PF released this year.

It’s bottom rung for DC PFs in general

I was excited when I saw the preview of this piece. Seeing the statue from the different angles now not so much. I agree with the previous comments regarding the androgynous aspects of this statue.... doesn't do it for me. At $350 it's a maybe, at $570 it's a no way. I still like the original Mystique PF. Especially next to this piece.

To get a 1/4 Sideshow piece for $350 you'll have to travel back in time. Probably 7 years or so?

 

[tworow2]

Hellfire Emma in 2014 was $370 for the EX, so probably $350 for the regular?

 

[GOLDBOND]

The third statue I ever bought, after overpaying for a wolverine pf and an emma frost comiquette, was the Cyclops PF for $275.00 directly from Sideshow. Sabertooth shortly after for $320 I think. That's about what they charge for some art prints now. Still my favorite Cyclops statue and a definite keeper. I was so hesitant about spending that much back then and I remember being on the fence for a while. I'm extremely selective these days even though there is a lot to like and a lot to dislike. A good time for statue collecting even if this Mystique was a bummer.

 

[golobulus]

Yes, I think the original Mystique PF was around $300 and it was probably 7 or 8 years ago.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

Thanks for the info.

So it was about 5-6 years ago then, that pieces on average were about $350 USD.

I thought I may have over estimated my guess
