Why didn't they think of a swap out masked head. For $450, I don't think that's asking for much.
From SF;
And multiple swap-out parts is definitely a factor in having a higher price tag on a statue. Especially portraits.
Did you guys entertain an alternate portrait during development, Igo? With a character like BC, it seems like an automatic thought to have a screaming visage. Although with her body stance, you'd probably have to add one or two swap out arms.
We did, but we co-designed this one with Stan (similar to Ivy, Harley, and Catwoman) and the stance / pose just didnt lend to proper swap-out parts without it feeling awkward.
Like COI stated, Im in favor of swap-outs so long as it doesnt compromise the original design. We've done it in the past, and Id rather have no exclusive rather than something that doesnt fit with the original intention.
Im sure we could have done the poster bigger, maybe on a chunk of wall sitting more up-right, etc, but at a certain point you cant keep second guessing everything you do, or changing things over and over again, because then things wont get done. We always try to learn from every piece we do, and make the next one better.
Im sure there will be plenty of exclusives we do in the future people will love, and Im sure there will always be some people feel were intentionally made to make them angry, but that's just how it goes.
Like Parallax said, if it strikes you and you want it and pre-order, awesome. If not, you dont have to buy it. If the ex is lame but you like the piece, it gives you a great opportunity to wait for in-hand pics and get it down the road.
Ive said it in the past, I definitely listen to all feedback and distill down accordingly. I appreciate having a forum to engage on, poke fun from time to time, and hear feedback, because I do take it all in and digest, and apply on future projects where I think it makes sense.
Stoked for some more announcements coming up, one in particular on Tuesday, should be a cool reveal :happybirt
