SSC Flint

[Buttmunch]

Anyone notice Andy Bergholtz is the sculptor? Andy did quite a few of those old Joe busts, so I'd say this line is in good hands

 

[The Josh]

Got my order in. He looks really good.

 

[karamazov80]

That the same guy who did the Flint bust? I can see some very minor similarities.

I think the beret is a bit too extreme. Would prefer it to be more like the original. Fortunately, it is removable, and I have others I can try out. . .

 

[DeltaForceChung]

I placed my pre-order as well.

 

[warmachine]

Ordered an EX...but might cancel. These figures seemed fair at $99 but the price of FF and Flint just doesn't seem justified to me. I'm sorry but the Joes, as much as I love them...have become VERY overpriced.

 

[Silent December]

Meh, it's all relative

 

[karamazov80]

No price for Flint is overpriced.

 

[corin7]

Wow at the EX still being avaliable. This figure is awesome.

 

[warmachine]

Meh, it's all relative

u can say that about almost anything...your point?

 

[EVILFACE]

I don't think they are overpriced. This is the line I've waited for. IF it fails, you won't ever see GIJoe ARAH 12" figures made with such quality.

Wow at the EX still being avaliable. This figure is awesome.

And it will be sold out when Sideshow decides to set the edition size limit based on initial pre-orders.

I guess my point is that while you think it's too pricey, I think the price is fair for what I'm getting. You might want to scoot down to hisstank, I hear there's a bunch of whine....er, I mean collectors who feel just like you

Is it whining to have an opinion that differs from another? If it is then you must never "whine"...er...I mean have your own individual thought.

 

[The Josh]

I agree for the price you get a lot of stuff. Pretty equal to the HT Military figures I've had or seen.

 

[GuruAskew]

I just had an "oh ____" moment after realizing I didn't order earlier. I was all stoked that it wasn't a PPO because I'm always at work and I was kicking myself for subjecting myself to 2 months of waitlist torture but luckily the EX is still available.

 

[teemu]

I dont know if its really the price factor...Its about the person being able to afford high end collectible toys...your average person on the street is likely not buying these to begin with...I am convinced you have to be somewhat well off or doing pretty good money wise to continue collecting 1/6 and PF to begin with...Hot Toys are made for the Rich and Sideshow are made for the Middle Class.I suspect collectibles will continue to go up in price in general which is why you have to pick and choose anymore these days.

 

[emceerice]

Hrm. Sawed off shotgun still up.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I dig it, glad to see Andy back on board. I'll pass on the exclusive and buy it locally. I don't mean to be a "Matinee" but he seems 5-10 bucks too much. But hey I'm a JOE fan...

We've just added a Closer Look @ feature for Flint on CTR.

Check it out.

 

[kl241]

The closer I look the more I see Quaid.
