I agree without a crystal ball there is no way of knowing, all speculation.... I personally didn't think Phoenix was going to be another $3000 statue, as cool as the bird was the character was rather bland as they tried to keep her comic accurate, plus a lot of that talk was before she was painted, a lot of the hype died down some after we saw the final product, thus the drop in price, although even at $1000 that's still a $180 profit for me as I got her for $820 shipped
... I think if they took liberties on her like they did Magneto it would of been a way better statue IMO... Now Ghost Rider on the other hand is full of details and the final product actually does look extremely cool... So I won't say it will be a $3000 statue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up being one...
