The Punisher Comiquette

[Batman29]

Your recast logic is quite flawed. Those pieces were recast as comiquettes because they looked better that way. Also, one of the most popular recasted SS statues is the Iron Man comiquette. Not to mention the Hulk vs Spidey dio and the X-men vs sentinel 1 as well. As a matter of fact, almost all SS recasted pieces are comiquettes or dios. That is because they are more popular.

You're kidding right? You mean to tell me the recasts would have been made if the originals weren't? My gosh Filip, you're fooling yourself. The recasts were made that way because a) SS made them first and proved there was a market after their sellout, and b) it is CHEAPER to make a commiquette then a mixed media statue! Of course this is not the case in every statue, but is certainly the general rule of thumb. Believe me, if it would have been cheaper to make them mixed media, then all the recasters would have made the recasts in mixed media. The recasters are out there for one thing: Making money.

Again, this thread is WAAAY off topic. Maybe a PF vs Comiquette thread really should be started and these posts moved there so the conversation may continue for those who wish it to.

That is not what I was saying. Yes, the recasts were made off popular PF statues. I understand that it is cheaper to have them recasted as pure sculpts. However, recasters want you to believe you are buying the real deal. It is the easiest way to maximize their dollars. As a collector I don't want to own a knock off. It would kill me to know i paid $1000+ dollars for an EX Iron Man comiquette only to find out it was fake. Whoever is purchasing the recasts of the PF as comiquettes are doing so because they like the look better or it's cheaper. It's buyer beware if you are purchasing a recasted comiquette. Don't for a minute think China can't make a great PF knock off if they wanted to. A Superior PF knock off would still get a recaster big dollars if done well. Much more than these Comiquette knock offs that were recasted off PF statues.

I was simply saying there is a big market for these as comiquettes. If you wanted to, you can pick up a SS PF Hulk, Spidey, Cap, or Thor. You can't pick them up as comiquettes. SS has not released them yet. The nice thing is that, as a collector, I know these are knock offs and I won't be fooled into buying them. Thankfully, I can wait until SS releases these characters as comiquettes and hope they turn out as great as the ones they have been releasing of late.

The only thing that surprises me here is that you are in the Punisher COMIQUETTE thread. It should suprise no one that almost everyone posting in this thread will be a comiquette lover. As such, we will be posting about our love for this format and the future pieces we want to see as comiquettes. Most of us here will prefer comiquettes over PF's. We will obviously say so. I have never faulted anyone for wanting a PF statue. I'm just glad that SS is FINALLY making marvel's big guns as comiquettes. I'm happy about that because I ALWAYS PREFER comiquettes over PF's. You won't see me go over to a PF thread and bash people who believe the PF version of a statue is better than the comiquette. However, I will respectfully say that I hope a comiquette of that character is made because that is what I like to collect. I don't think it is insulting or surprising of me to say I prefer or think that comiquettes are better than PF's in a comiquette thread.

Now I really would like to turn this thread back over to the awesome Punisher comiquette that SS is releasing. I would encourage everyone else to do the same.

I don't like this statue personally. The art style of Olivettis is not my cup of tea, but I'm happy for those that like it.
