Prime 1 Studio - Mr. freeze 1:3 Arkham Origins

30" length is because of the outstretched gun arm, right?

Had some issue with the price being jacked up for no apparent reason but this statue is not as good without the exclusive. Also compared it to the Thanos maquette (which sold out super fast and had much more hype behind it) which is $1200 and much smaller when you look at all the specs. Figured I'd let fate decide and if my waitlist gets converted then it was meant to be, if it doesn't then it wasn't.

 

[Geeky Blinder]

I agree, this has got to be the best exclusive from Prime One so far

They look to be in scale. My concern is how Freeze is bigger than both Bane's?

The dome accounts for at least a few inches (did I really just type that?) Bane is also standing straight on his elevated base, while Freeze is stepping up from that onto another step.

The bases on the statues in this entire line make a big difference in terms of total size / height.

Can't remember where I read or saw it but I think it was when Bane was being revealed that it was noted for display purposes they made his base smaller than the others (ie. Batman, Two Face, etc.) so that when displayed they would be around the same size (ie. technically you wouldn't have to worry about any of the 1/3 line fitting in the same case). Not sure if this still applies but personally I wish the bases were all the same height so that the large characters (Killer Croc / Bane) really tower over Batman if displayed side by side.

These bigger statues, really need smaller bases. As detailed and creative as they are, they just arent prudent on 1/3 scale bodies imo.

This piece alone caused me to get back into collecting the Prime 1 Rouges again. I was able to convert a Harley Quinn and Two Face waitlist in two days. I've got Venom Bane, Scarecrow, Mr.Freeze and DKR Bats on preorder. Still need to order Killer Croc.

Space is really becoming an issue now with P1 stuff. So big

I'll think I'll have to utilise the bathroom once the Suicide Squad and Justice League stuff arrives

This thing is going to be huge.

EX waitlist sold out

EX waitlist sold out

Does that mean that anyone who jumped on the waitlist is now out of luck?

No, just means they have a lot of people on the WL. They might also be trying to get more quota like they have in the past.

Ohhh,got it, so just means no one else can jump on the waitlist anymore.

Yeah, the waitlist is closed when it reaches "Sold Out" status. I guess that means if a waitlist converts, you don't want to be cancelling or otherwise you won't get the statue at retail. I'm wondering though, many years down the line if we want to sell ours for whatever purposes, will this rise up (for selling fees purposes) or stay around the retail value...? If it ever comes to that point, would hope to get back at least what was paid for.

I think all statues have been marked up so much its eliminated the profit margin. This thing, like the others, are selling at grail prices already for the majority of ppl.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Will probably lose money down the line if it needs to leave the collection.

I've been prone to getting a statue for the beauty of it and it ends up not really going along with any collection line and I'm stuck with something that, while spectacular, doesn't fit and when I'm trying to cut down to make room, those are usually the ones I turn to first, which sucks.

 

[Geeky Blinder]

When I went through my collection reshuffle and decided to just focus on Spidey and Bats, I sold loads of pieces and must say, took a loss on every single one apart from Obi Wan Mythos.
I kinda just write off the expense of a statue now. Like a night on the town or a new pair of pants! But a really expensive pair of pants!

 

[Asdf]

That seems to be the case with p1 stuff. Retail price already high. Hard to sell at PO price when decide to sell
