I passed on Bats, POd Supes. May PO WW but will see how the ES plays out. Too many and I'm not interested although I know that won't be a deciding factor for lots of people.
Um, yeah NO.She's not selling more than Bats Supes or Hulk. Regardless, great sculpt. They did a fantastic job on her. Looking forward to Catwoman next. May she be mostly sculpted and I hope they scrap that weird head-turned-butt-facing-us sculpt on the Catwoman PF or give us an alt headsculpt.
Well, we shall see
Godlike?If your into dolls I guess, but even then you should find another word, or maybe kneel down and thank your statue for your fortunate life. Not much sculpt to appeciate when covered in all that cloth. I like the cloth on the old school horror film characters because I think it adds a creepy silver screen look to them. Besides that genre there're very few statues I've appreciated it on. I think it looks great on Doom and Darth Malgus because it's minimal, and it allows you to take their hood on and off. Batman I think turned out exceptionally well, because his suit is very form fitting. Although, I would have perfered him fully scupted.
No I have a typing stutter, I just usually control it better.
We must remember that Sideshow is a business and there are costs to producing a statue on top of the labor cost. I'm not justifying Sideshow's price increases, but for the Batman and Superman statues, I can imagine that DC is charging a lot for the license of these characters.
I'm a happy collector and don't get disappointed much, but I do think SS needs to be more consistent (biggest disappointment is the Batman Logo going from raised to a stamp - thats a huge change!).
Man, you sound like you work for them. Rising material costs?Joker is an epiphany.
Better than some control their own OCD.
Too much for who? DC may well be expecting a specific dollar figure out of each statue produced and the only way to achieve that goal is to produced 9500. It's possible that the license fee, factored with rising material and labor costs (or just plain falling purchasing power) makes the venture lucrative for Sideshow only if they sell 9500.
I understand that customers have certain expectations. So do the people creating what you're expecting. If it's not worth it for them, then what it's worth to the customer becomes irrelevant.
What a joke! They only use half the materials now that they're selling us hollow statues. Rising labor costs?
Yes, because I'm sure Sideshow has been loosing a lot of profit meeting the demands of that strong labor union they have over in China. Are you so blind? Sideshow is just testing the water to see how much they can suck out of there customers without losing them. With the recent mass production of their products we should be seeing a decrease in prices, not an increase. They've increased their prices and edition sizes out of greed, not because it was necessary. Because of the simple fact that they have people hooked, and they're the only ones supplying the product that everyone is addicted to. The customers that bought there first products to help get their bussiness where it's today have become expendible. Not until it effects there profit margins will they start caring about us like they use to.
DC was very tight with their statue license prior to Sideshow.
OY WANT MY LOW EDITION SIZE!!!!! AND OY WANT IT NOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!
