Sabertooth Classic Premium Format Figure

[ambasah]

It will become relevant pretty quickly when enough customers don't see the value in the ever increasing Sideshow pricing structure. There's a lot of competition for collectible dollars these days. Also those $15 oranges cost more for the company when they sit in their warehouse for months and months unsold or require discounted prices to move them all.

and that is the "sweet spot" I am referring to - the elasticity of demand or something like that from my grade 9 economics class.

SS wants that "equilibrium" where they can maximize profits. They can and will continue to raise prices and edition sizes until enough people stop buying.

The deck is in their favour as these are entirely emotional purchases and there is no real competition...yet, although that is thankfully beginning to change.

Did Sabertooth got killed off by Wolverine's use of his sword? Saw that he got his head cut off but someone mentioned he's back.

Yeah Wolverine cut off his head with a special sword

Regurgitated non-sense. Booooooo.

Cool story

 

[Mr. Green]

Already know he got killed. Well like how he's back in the comics? Doubt he's some kind of a zombie.

 

[Mr. Green]

Ok, did some googling magic and whola:

How is Sabretooth alive? (Spoilers i guess)

Glad Mr. Green didn't waste time on it. It seem boring.

It's Marvel. It'd be weird if he didn't come back from the dead.

 

[DasFoster]

It's Marvel. It'd be weird if he didn't come back from the dead.

That is, without a doubt, flawless comic book logic.

The prices on Arkham Batman, Joker, Spiderman and now Wolverine has stopped me from pre ordering any of those. I dont forsee myself buying anymore of your standard sized 1:4 scale sideshow pieces for $500 or more, unless they truly blow me away with a lot of detailed work and actualy give us our moneys worth.

I would get a Byrne lineup of X-Men pfs.

I've been begging for that since I joined this board. I would be all over that in a heartbeat. I just need 6 members. Cyke, Phoenix, Storm, Colossus, Wolvie, and Nightcrawler. Those are the top 6 characters that represent the Byrne lineup for me. Those 6 would be all I need. Actually, I already have the Wolvie COM so I would just need the other 5 characters. Having a 1/4 Byrne lineup would be a dream come true.

I have the Alex Ross giclee that only has those six characters. Would be great to have the pfs.

 

[ambasah]

the SS storm pf isn't actually a bad interpretation.

Yep, hopefully (someday) SSC will make it happen.

 

[filip629]

I agree, the Storm PF does look good. However, I'd like to see more of Byrne's influence on another Storm PF that could be included in a specific Byrne line if SSC ever decided to go that route. Byrne is my favorite X-MEN artist and I'd like to see a specific X-line heavily influenced by his work. Kinda like the SSC Jim Lee inspired X-MEN PFs.

 

[Destroyous]

But yet still no Magneto. Only the best villain in all of comics but nope. . . Nothing.

My XM Mags helps me deal with SSC's stubborn refusal to release a Mags PF already. At this point, I personally don't even care anymore. For all those still waiting on a 1/4 Mags, hopefully SSC gets to a Mags PF sooner rather than later. It's beyond ridiculous that a 1/4 Mags and Thanos haven't been released by SSC after all these years.

Too busy releasing variants

 

[divo]

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but will this be the first time Sideshow re-releases an originally mixed media PF to a fully sculpted version? Will be interesting to compare both versions side by side, & will certainly add fuel to the mixed media vs full sculpt fire.

The classic Catwoman pf is a resculpt of the mix media one.
