That's a $600 PF, so it'll probably be $629.
It's like Sideshow learned their lesson from the flop that is the Darkseid PF (size wise)
What a beast. He makes Croc look like a common lizard!
Bane is a definite PO for me. Fingers crossed that he won't go beyond $649.
Darkseid is the perfect size. That's the way he was created and that's the way it should be. If people want the ridiculous Darkseid we have today then they can wait for that version. To each their own. I'm glad people people were hating on his size because now 5000 of them won't be floating around. Watch how many people kick themselves when they're paying crazy prices for a beautiful sculpt they thought was too small.

Both Croc and Bane are $700. I love this but I thought there would be more tubes.
Common lizard? I better stay away from the Philippines. You know the prices are getting crazy when we're hopping 1/4 pieces will be under $650.
I feel people are living a fantasy when they take guesses as to what figures are going to cost especially when it comes to SSC, it seems almost on an annual if not semi annual basis when new figures are released they bump the price $50-$100 compared to figures that were just released a year ago etc. I just started this hobby recently and have noticed a pretty steep curve in terms of price increases. If someone says this thing costs $999, I honestly wouldn't be surprised and it would probably still sell and gives another reason for SSC to keep bumping the prices.
Except for the fact that the rest of the DC comic line is out of scale, especially Batman. They're bigger than 1:4 (regardless of what people say to justify their purchase), so the real issue is not Darkseid on himself - it's Darkseid when you pair him up with the others. Scale will look all messed up when you put it next to Batman
Classic Kirby Darkseid. He's not the New 52 Darkseid. SSC got it right.
As probably the main bad guy of the DC Universe he had to fit with the rest of the JLA. He looks small so therefore he is out of scale. As a stand alone piece it doesn't really matter of course. Bane is this big because of the Batman PF and they didn't want to make the same mistake. I also feel they wanted to compete with the Prime 1 version and make people regret/lose those $90 NRDs if they ordered the P1 a few weeks ago.
Overall the statue is not Kirby enough to use that as an excuse for the size. They modernized (Sideshowfied) the rest enough that nobody thinks "Kirby!" when they see it.
On the other hand, I think the original Hulk PF is Kirby enough to justify the ape face and it does say "Kirby!" right away.
Kirby Darkseid:
Love the Base idea! Guess they're learning from XM. Thought it'd be just steps or a rock pile.
Are his paints sculpted or is it fabric/mixed media?
