From what I understand, SSC changed their policy recently where they will give back your reward points if you cancel your order. Only the NRD is not refunded. The only time the NRD is refunded is if your order is delayed.
SS could have easily fudged the scale a little to produce a piece who size was more impressive and commensurate with the price they were planning to charge for it.
But then I don't know. Are fans vocally upset with SS for fudging the scale of Juggernaut downward to better fit into their Ikea shelving?
There are only hard and fast rules until SS chooses to break them for some reason or other.
Given his pose, he would likely be out in front of any group collection display. He could have easily been scaled "up" to 17" and still looked just fine next to all the other characters who, in almost every single instance, would be posed standing straight up on a base and would therefore look appropriately taller anyway.
You are speaking in terms of what you want. You don't speak for, or know what others want.
Then it wouldn’t be in scale with the rest of the line if Sideshow did that
Yes, as that's all I can do.
There have already been two 1/4 scale Wolverine PFs released. The people that need this to be perfectly in scale with their other statues have already had that option...twice.
But you like this one better than those? Can't blame you. So do I.
That's right. Just like the upcoming Juggernaut will be out of scale. They get around that by calling it a maquette. Could have done the same here.
Would that really have prevented any collector/fan here from buying him and sticking him in their display?
Besides, unless they are displayed in a strict row, you could easily rationalize a slight increase in his size over the others due to foreshortening.
Given enough desire, collectors can usually rationalize most anything the product maker imposes on them.
For example, I'm rationalizing this is worth $600 because I like the design and the sculpt, and because I don't own any other Wolverine anythings.
And yeah, I would rather overpay for something I truly think is well done and small, than large for the sake of trying to express value.
Eventually the $600 will be a sunk cost. Years down the road it won't matter, but how well it expresses the character will.
Unless it starts to develop engineering/lean issues. Then the thought of that inflated price is really going to chafe.
Hell Mose, if you want a large sized Wolverine statue, pick up the LSF.
I had one, but it went back because of QC issues and I was too leery of rolling the dice again and getting one with more or different issues.
If I'm hung up on wanting something larger with this character, it's because of the LSF. The short time I had it, it was game changing. Literally breath-taking to be in it's presence. Coming back to the realm of 1/4 scale pieces was something of a let down.
There a few things that look to be better executed on the PF, but you can't overstate the impact that sheer size makes.

Perhaps get one of the 5 billion Wolverine customs that are out there if you don't like this one...

This one looks much better than the customs out there and cheaper too
The base reminds me of the xm wolverine base.
Considering that both are parts of a Sentinel that would make sense.
But imho this hand is more to my liking than the XMs head version. Though I would've liked for that central red part to light up either continuously or flicker etc., but at least this way you don't need to concern yourself about when the led will eventually burn out etc.

I agree xm was the best imo for all wolverines so far. All the rest had a strange distorted face or mouth. But this new ss one is very well done. The best so far. For his scale this should’ve been a bit less though.
