Tweeterhead BATGIRL Maquette Diorama

[Golden_Boy]

Hope you get her! You won't be disappointed!

Oh, and I ordered her last night starscream! Far too much going back and forth because of our terrible dollar and so many other things already in the pipeline, when I knew that I'd wish I'd pulled the trigger if she does sell out! At the moment I'm thinking she'll be going into a glass cabinet with other renditions of Batgirl around her! That's the idea right now, anyway, but we'll see. Quite excited now that it's all said and done!

Tweeterhead sent out emails to those who ordered the signature series Batgirl explaining the situation.... We were asked not to repost the email on the forums out of privacy for the family...

That's great Golden Boy! So glad you pulled the trigger! The production pieces really are just like the prototypes with Tweeterhead. I'm so excited to see pics of your Batgirl collection once you get her in.

Yeah, thanks for all the info and dealing with my back and forth! If our dollar was better it'd be more of a no brainer! They're saying by next year it could hit as low as .69 cents to each US dollar with no real sign of change for a long time, which would be brutal. So I flexed her to make it better in case that does happen. I may end up Flexing a couple of things I have on order if that low dollar amount does look to prove to be true.

I passed on the Sideshow Batgirl because of things I had on deck, but I knew I had to have this one. It was that instantaneous feeling I had of knowing I wanted it when I first saw it that kept nagging at me while I juggled the decision. It doesn't happen too often with pieces, but it's good to follow that instinct if it does! I'm not sure what else would fit on the smaller sized shelf with her, or if she'll be better off on her own, but I'm thinking Black & White Batgirl, and possibly the Batgirl Bishoujo. We'll see what looks good. I'm just happy I pulled the trigger as well. Always a better feeling to have than regret -- which we've all had at one time or another!

No problem, we all go back and forth at times. I usually go for it when I have that feeling too, I don't ever want to regret not getting something. We're kinda lucky in this hobby that most stuff holds its value or increases in value so I'd rather get it, and sell it or trade it later if I think I've made a mistake

I hope the exchange rate doesn't get that bad, that's awful. I guess you just have to be more selective on what you buy but that's so hard with so many awesome companies!

As far as the display, I think she would go great alone or displayed with other batgirls. She'll definitely be the center of attention in that grouping though I'll have her displayed with the other '66 statues but unfortunately, everything I own is in storage right now so I don't get to enjoy anything, hahaha! Can't wait to display everything!!

She'd definitely be the center of attention on that shelf! I'll see how big she ends up being base-wise on the shelf before deciding what else could go with her. As for the exchange rate, yeah, it seems like it's going to get rough! It's REALLY tough being so selective right now, as it seems like EVERY company is just knocking things out of the park! It's quite ridiculous!

I mean, it's good...but it's also really terrible to pay upwards of 30% more for pieces. It adds up, but it's so hard to say no to some things! The Prime 1 Arkham line is going to kick my arse!

I'm sure wherever you put her, she'll look great. As far as Prime 1, thank goodness I'm not into their stuff because I would go broke!
These companies are turning us all into addicts

It's very true! I mean, I was out of the PF game last year after I ordered Machiko...then I saw Spidey this year from Sideshow and needed him. Then it spiraled out of control! I ordered XM Daredevil, and then Prime 1 Batman/Arkham Knight...and poses pending, there are a few more on deck that I'd like. It's pretty brutal!

I'm definitely picking and choosing though! I'm looking for solid representations for a character in most cases...that one piece that'll take care of that character for my collection as a whole! At least when it comes to the bigger pieces! I'm already trying to talk myself out of the Masters of the Universe Sideshow line...I think they'll look amazing, but, it's just getting to be too much. But I'm also very, very weak!

Hahaha! I love how you're picking and choosing but have XM and Prime 1 on order Hey, as long as it makes you happy, it's cool. I've definitely become very selective with what I order. I'm actually moving away from 1/6 scale action figures and just doing PF's and smaller statues like Tweeterhead and the B&W Batman line, etc. I hope I never get into Prime 1, haha. As far as XM, they're too hard to get so I'm not even going there although I saw you posted a pic of a possible Boba Fett!! You're killing me!

I know what you mean about the MOTU line, I want Skeletor but I just can't. That will be an awesome line though!

And my apologies to everyone since me and Golden Boy have taken over this thread

I know!!! I don't know what happened...I wanted a great Daredevil statue, and the Sideshow one looked good...I liked the costume textures and such, but the pose just didn't work with me. Then I had the chance to jump on an XM piece for a really good price! A little over retail (the main pain comes with the exchange rate to Canada) so I jumped on it. Then the Prime 1 Arkham line came out, and for how huge the statues are, I had no choice. That said, I've been putting aside some overtime money for a while, so that's help making them more "normal" in costs!

I know it sounds bad though! Picking and choosing with such expensive pieces on order! It also helps that I know my father-in-law will be giving a nice Christmas gift in terms of a "bonus" when he comes to visit in December, so I can basically write one off! That's my big splurge for the year! It's so easy to get caught up in lines though, so I'm trying to be picky. I'm anything but made of money...it's almost the opposite, I've just been good at putting aside a little bit where possible.

I just fear how much is to come from Hot Toys, with Episode VII on deck, and the entire DCU coming next year, and then Civil War and the rest of the Marvel flicks...it's just going to get ugly. But I'm definitely never buying a piece just to buy it! With the Machiko delay there's been a HUGE lull in me receiving anything big and new, but there's no filler in my collection and I'm aiming to keep it that way! It's far too expensive to just buy pieces that look cool these days. They have to speak to you, and like this piece, if you're unsure and juggling funds around with other pieces, then it really has to nag at you that you'll be sorry you missed it as well! It's a very different time in collecting, and it'll only get worse when the inevitable recession Canada is in is announced!

That killed me

I hear ya, I bought ARH's Medusa a few years back when PF's were still $350. I paid over $700 for her with shipping and I thought I went crazy, hahaha! But she is one of my favorites in the collection so I don't regret it at all but it was one of those situations where I didn't even see the new Clash Of The Titans movie, I just had to have her! I love the character of Medusa so she was a must have but for what I got, I really didn't think it was that bad of a price.

Prime 1 prices are actually good like you stated. For being 1/3 scale, it's not a bad price at all. I don't blame you about XM's DareDevil either. I really thought Sideshow's pose was awful, sorry SS. The XM piece is very nice so I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

That's good that your getting a bonus I'd rather have these statues that mean something important to me than a little extra in the bank. I try not to splurge, but sometimes you just have to say, forget the money, I need this! Since I pretty much got out of 1/6 scale action figures, I'm not too worried about Hot Toys but the future PF's have me worried On top of that, these new companies keep popping up with amazing figures....ugh, it'll never stop, guess I'll enjoy the ride

 

[Golden_Boy]

Saw Tweeterhead post this today and it made me REALLY happy that I POd Batgirl! I'm quite bias, as she's the only one I'm interested in when it comes to the set, but she really stands out from the rest! So incredibly well done. I mean, they all are! But I'm super happy to be a few flex payments into this one already!

 

[KingGrayskull]

Does anybody know what happened to the exclusive? Did Yvonne Graig signed all the certificates before she has passed? Still really sad about her death.

Sadly she passed away before she could sign, he is doing a few other thins for the exclusive though

 

[KingGrayskull]

That is indeed a little sad as it will become THE missing piece in this line, but on the other hand, it is nothing compared to her familys loss. When I learned that she passed away, I didnt feel comfortable ordering the Exclusive anymore, not because I feared for my money but judt because it felt "inapropriate". I am allin on this line, but somehow I couldnt pull the trigger on Batgirl for now. Time to change that, with Riddler being announced now.

What are those "other things", if you dont mind me ask?

 

[ELVIS]

That is indeed a little sad as it will become THE missing piece in this line,

The missing Yvonne Craig hand signed certificate is not the only missing piece in this line. Frank Gorshin has also passed, as well as Vincent Price and many others associated with the show. I order primarily for the figures, so while not having hand signed certificates is unfortunate, it is also unavoidable in many cases. I will be happy with facsimile signatures or any other exclusive they would like to come up with.

Yes, I know that. But with an already announced product that does not make it for whatever reason it is always something special. Everybody knows the Romero has passed years ago, so noone was hoping for his signature (highly unlikely that we will even get something similar to Gorshin). But with Craig, the cards were almost laying at her desk. Anyway, what is the exclusive alternative now?

 

[afattori]

I was really looking forward to getting her signature to go with my Newmar Tweeterhead statue. They were my 2 first crushes as a kid watching the show in the early 70's. Really unfortunate for me as a fan, but no comparison to her family's loss. But, batgirl has a big emotional attachment for me. Can not wait to get her. Hope we do not see the same delays Newmar Catwoman had.

 

[ELVIS]

Anyway, what is the exclusive alternative now?

An email was sent by Tweeterhead to those that ordered the exclusive version. In it, several things were mentioned, including what the new exclusive would be. It was also requested that the contents of the email not be shared on social media or forums. I am not sure Tweeterhead really meant that the exclusive information be kept secret, but just to be sure, I am honoring their request to not share the email. I would suggest you contact Tweeterhead by email for the information.
