2K or Go home Sideshow !!!
It's a killer statue, so everyone just feels the need to say something about it until a reveal... unfortunately its Price Wars which is easy enough to debate but completely whack (yes, I'm at fault as well).
This thread:
"I bet this will cost (insert Price) because (insert reason)"
"I hope it doesn't because (insert reason)"
Rinse, recycle, repeat until more info available.
They could market this piece any way they want and go even a little price crazy. They see this thread and know this will still sell very well.
well then good thing i saved 1,317 of these
lmao yesssssirrr
Oh I am not so sure about that. Talk is cheap. People can say I would pay this or that but when it comes to putting the order down and having to pay the NR, which won't be cheap if it is priced high, I think you will find a lot of people jumping ship. There are to many hulks out there and to many people own a hulk for them to be willing to plop down 1000+
If they price it to high. Many will be saying "I think I will just stick with my PF or Comiquette or hell, even Bowen"
Oh, I agree people talk big, but when the NRD is asked for then a lot of people flinch. Either they find something to complain about or just get scared and go look at some Hot Toys or something.
The point does remain that SSC pricing sometimes makes no sense. Popularity of the character, Legacy effects premium, etc. A lot of things they can justify a high price tag. They know what people are willing to pay for a Hulk PF on ebay. They want a piece of that.
Sideshow knows Hulk pretty much stole the show in Avengers. Sure, it's just a sculpt of a green dude with pants...but it's the Hulk. People will buy because they love the character, they see the piece as solid investment (regardless of how many other Hulks are out there) and the hype is strong with this piece. The two things you can hope for is a good paint job with shades of green and muscle definition like the PF and a clearly set edition size.
SSC is trying really hard to get in on the secondary market action but making stuff open ES + overpriced isn't the answer.
