Both head sculpts are amazing but $450 for this is ridiculous. I can't believe they're charging $100 more for this Joker PF compared to the comic one which was $350 less than 4 years ago. That's a markup of nearly 30% in a fairly short time. Yikes!
 
$450 seems $50 too high. I think Batman will definitely be at least $500. Between this and Darkseid I may keep my DC collection as the trinity plus Joker and end it there.
 
Ouch $450 is a little high, Looks like SS is setting yet another PF standard price of $450-$500...I have the 1st Joker, not sure ill be adding this one. Where is the link with the pictures and price point
 
Martin Canale was involved in the sculpt? Sweet.

And BTW, Woo hoo, Joke's Wallet Chain is there! And the tailored suit is right up there with the Comic Joker in terms of pure awesomeness....

Damn it, I'm annoyed that it's $450.
 
I ended up seeing it in the blog.

$450 makes me shake my head.

I still want it though. But damn, that's $50 too much for sure. Anymore and I wouldan bowed out.
 
I'm in, I love the game series too much to not buy into this line, but it just means that I probably won't buy either the Bats Modern PF or Darkseid since I was on the fence about both. Can't make up my mind which one to get between those two though? As far as this Joker PF goes, it's Exclusive or bust in my humble opinion.
 
The thing that bugs me about the Price Point is that it's what Sideshow SHOULD do as a business. They see these characters like the Comic Joker selling for twice their original value a couple of years removed. Why shouldn't they see some of that revenue? The raise in the price is just them shifting the demand curve so they see more of the profit. It also SHOULD mean they make less, which should translate into better quality. (Not saying it automatically will... We've seen what happens on some of the pieces they have, but it stands to reason). Then again, they'll probably make 2000 of the exclusive to make up for the fact they only made 1250 of the exclusive Comic Jokers.... They know they have collectors who missed out on the Comic Joker by the proverbial balls.... And they will figure "Hey, this new Joker is much less than the original Comic Joker that's currently on eBay!"

I hate it when they act like a business and do proper business things! GRRR!!!!
