there were 1000+3500 SEs made. I don't know if SSC could have sold that many, but its evident that they don't really make an attempt to sell that many, so SSC is content overcharging select few customers vs offering value to bigger audience. I have very little doubt that SSC could have sold many more Waypoints and many more of their Originals dios if they were willing to value price a bit.

I don't see why people still feel the need to justify their purchasing this POS to those of us who didn't.

i don't see why those who have no interest in this piece need to keep coming in here and saying the same thing over and over and over again.

BECAUSE WE CAN!
All kidding aside, I have an interest in this piece, I really do, just not at $130.

Well like I said I was on the fence. A few weeks before the release I looked for 1/6 scale wolves and I found a few. There was some gijoe ace figure that had a wolf or dog that looked like a wolf maybe a husky. On ebay and even these were selling for like $30 to $35 bucks then I found ones with the real looking fur but the pose was all wrong. It was like they were all looking at the moon. Thats not timber. Thats not they way I see timber .or remember him so I figured for all the time I spent looking. For what I wanted. And just a plastic wolf being $35 bucks I might as well just get the one thats goes with the snake eyes. Is there anyone out there that can say they hadn't paid alot more and gotten alot less! I know I have. But when I did get it and opened it My wife seen me in the living roomO yea got it! then my 11 year old said"Dad I want one too that things cool!!!" So then I was like
yea right this thing is like $150 bucks well then I got the look
if you have kids you know the look.But to make a long story short I think it was worth it just to complement my snake eyes! But when the throne gets here well:chew
you would think that by now someone would have sculpted and casted a Wolf to go with Snake Eyes. I mean they do it with everything else.
Actually, the cost of materials between ABS/PVC and Polystone/heavy resins is indeed pretty substantial. R&D is pretty much the same, regardless. Materials and production costs are the biggest factor.

Is that Enemy Ace one King uses?

care to share. I looked up that Enemy Ace on ebay and its not that impressive, at least not as impressive as Sideshows.

Here's the post:
While I agree, it's not as detailed as Sideshows, comparing the $14 pricetag to the $130 price tag Sideshow's mandating to get the "official" Timber, it gets the job done at a more than reasonable price.

and its definitely better priced then the $35 one on ebay. Too bad its out of stock
Lost in all of this is the fact that Timber is hardly essential.

For any other version of Snake Eyes I'd agree.

Eh... I want one for my Hellboy, not for Snake-Eyes. Guess it depends how important a wall is to your SE display...

hmmmm....
Just got this in the newsletter from Triad:
If they start doing this, keep the production piece looking as good and keep the prices reasonable, they've got my money over Sideshow for dios. Hell, that'd look awesome with the Universals too.
