theres only 1 drawback to the leg cut off IMO.
You cant really display him higher than eye level cause you need to see the swamp water his knees disappear into.... :monkey1
 
Thats exactly what will happen..

500 bucks?.. Dude, out of control..

Sideshow's recent out of control prices...

IM 1:1 at 700... Joke especially w/ the large ES
Abom at 500 ... Joke. Especially w/ the large ES
Manthing... 500 Joke.. ES TBD which Im sure will be too high..

All three of these should have been maybe $350..


On a side note sweet scuplt.. But 500?..

I am suprised you're not complaining about the weight (15 pounds).

IMO,The eyes are bit bit too red. I bet he has the same color lenses as SIM.
 
15 pounds?!?! What is this made of Papier-mâché? This should be Hulk weight no question...
 
I have a feeling ss cut the legs off in favor of the glow-up eyes. a bad decision that makes this easy to say no to for me.

I think you're right. It would have been nice if the pose was of him coming out of the pond, with one leg out, standing a bit upright. But no... 15 pounds...
 
i am speculating their decision making process meeting went down something like this:

'it's an unreal piece...he'll be two feet tall and have glowing eyes! our customers will love it!'

'what??!!! that will be too cost prohibitive! We are losing our shirts on this piece as it is, what with ensuring a reasonable price point of $500 and all. These are tough times people, we must retain customer loyalty by making a reasonable pricepoint our top priority.'

'we'll have to nix the glowing eyes then?'

'are you kidding, glowing eyes is hot hot hot, remember iron man?!'

'what do we do then?'

'let's remove the bottom half of his legs!'

'remove half his legs??!'

'hey whadda these people want, for us to give it away?? it's not as if we're asking $500 for it'

'we are asking $500 for it'

'excellent! this should help us hit our 4th quarter projected goal and ensure my bonus!' :chew
 
the days of large solid heavy pieces are in the past.
.. and if thats what you have to have, then youre done with the SS Marvel PF line ... :monkey1
 
The weight is probably just a carry over from the template. I'm sure it will be much heavier.

Personally I think the legs disappearing into the swamp is cool. As are the lightup eyes. It's not a matter of either/or, it's a matter of what makes the best looking piece and still makes it producible for a price.
