I think at some point Sideshow either 1) should try to start getting other licenses so they can vary their product offerings more, 2) start focusing a bit more on the “B” list DC/Marvel characters so they don’t have to constantly think of fresh designs for the big name characters, or 3) some combination of those.
I get what they’re trying to do....I understand that they can’t ALWAYS make comic book consistent designs. They’d get stale quick. But surely they have to understand that the bulk of the people willing to spend this kind of money on a comic book statue are people who won’t always exactly embrace the creative freedoms they sometimes choose to take.
But at the same time when they release this many big characters so close to each other (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Joker, Harley, Ivy, Cap, Widow, Wolverine, Iron Man) I think people need to acknowledge/understand that they’re not ALL going to be worth buying. And it’s probably for the best that they’re not lol. I mean I’m getting 4 (maybe 5) of those 10, and when they were all announced I thought I’d be getting at least 8 of 10. I’m shedding no tears at all that I don’t like all of them.
