.....this was a pass and you are pulling me to the dark side...must be strong....so many choices.....help me...batman beyond...Arkham knight....cotd....alien.
Stay on target...
Here's a tip from someone who has lost a few NRDs and doesn't plan on losing another! Try not getting sucked into the hype that these forums can bring. Sometimes a statue can nag at you even if it's an initial pass, and those are ones you consider back and forth until you finally decide to jump or not. If this was a pass out of the gate, then all this talking up the statue done by those buying can easily make you think, "I DO need/want this!" when really you don't.
It's a LOT of money, and it's a LARGE NRD to slap down. I mean, if this was one you'd been considering, then I can see the sway...but if it was a pass, well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's pre-ordered a statue I hadn't initially wanted because of the hype right after release. I'm not trying to talk you out of it, I'm just trying to say that this is that period of time where you can get pulled in even if you never wanted to be, so you have to be careful!
I LOVE the look of Ms. Marvel, and I love her headsculpt -- even though I know nothing of the character. This is Harley, so it's probably a bit different in the case that you know who she is; but what I'm saying is that now when I see Ms. Marvel, I'd love to get her if money/space was no object at all, but I have a list of other characters I want a lot more, so I'm passing. I also don't go to her forum at all because I don't need the temptation! But I think I've passed the phase where I'd get sucked in. It's just too much money to put out on a character when there are so many others that'd go before her.
Like you said, stay on target! I'm sure you'll be much happier that you did if there are ones you'd originally/still put before this. Batman Beyond looks stunning. I don't know the character well and never watched the show, but if he's on your list above Harley, I think you'll be a really proud owner once he goes up for PO -- and from the looks of his statue, it probably won't be too long before that happens!
Just sold my Sideshow Harley PF to make room for this beauty.

why oh why?! the SS Harley was amazing! you can't just have both?
I love everything about the SSC Harley except that stupid clown onesie she's wearing. Passed on it for that reason alone.
lol. tread carefully my friend, there seems to be alot of fans of that said onsie roaming around. lol
Wow thanks you, really u help me with this because is the reality, thanks again so nice advice
Thank you for the advice! I think I will wait for another Harley that I go totally crazy for. I love the character that's for sure.
I'm looking at it this way I'm going to need to probably drop $1000 - $2,000 on an office remodel to have room for the stuff so it might be smart to be very picky with my statue buying until I get the office display prepared too.
She for sure stands out in this Prime 1 line up. The colors in particular really make her pop.
Everyone's enthusiasm is contagious though. I love it!
Great advice my friend. I agree...stick to your guns. P1 Harley has been on my radar since they first teased AK Bats. SSC Red Sonja was suuuuuper tempting but I had to pass knowing other stuff was coming. I've only had to pay for 1 NRD so far so I've been pretty good about not impulse ordering a whole lot. It's tough but you gotta stick to some guidelines or this hobby will run you dry!
No problem guys! Just letting you know from experience of losing NRDs! The enthusiasm is why it's sometimes best to stay out of threads you're tempted by. You can keep track, but at least at the very beginning when everyone is acting like the statue is the second coming, it's best to avoid getting sucked into that if the statue wasn't on your radar to begin with...far too easy to start saying, "They're right! It IS the best looking statue ever!"
I think you'll be much happier securing the pieces you know you want now! When those arrive, you know there'll be no regrets.
All too easy to fall into that trap! And sometimes things just fall off your radar for other things...like P1 Robin in your case (I personally don't like the finished product...at least of the headsculpt. But then, I'm not a big fan of the Arkham bald Drake. ) and Red Sonja. That's the one great thing about all this advance warning from Prime 1...and even Sideshow for the most part now...you know what's coming well in advance, so it's easier to plan. Sure a few surprises come out of nowhere, but for the most part it's not as rough.
Plus, the ever rising pricing makes it a lot easier to be picky as well! I like the version of Gamora they're releasing, but when I went to the preview page, it did absolutely nothing for me. Easy pass. Far too much Prime 1 goodness on the horizon to just order something for the sake of ordering!
