This seems to be the unspoken elephant in the room. Though I have no evidence (as SS won't release sales data & I wouldn't trust a SS rep as far as I could spit) I'd bet dollars to donuts there are many, many SS (P1, XM, etc) pieces that have never had a completed run of REG's including the...

Agree... will undoubtedly be the best 1/4 IM statue. With the finish XM deliver and the different options for display this piece already sits at the apex of IM statues. While everyone went crazy at the last STGCC over Cable I picked this up at retail - expensive yes, but there will not be many...

Thanks for the pics... looks like typical SS proto to production drop in quality.

Several steps up, Marilyn is fantastic, Rocky is amazing. He's flown under the radar but IMHO it's the best statue this year... yes better than Darkness, Ghost Rider or well anything for that matter. Also for what one gets the price of $470US was a bargain. Can't wait to see what Blitzway do...

Crazy price... equates to roughly $799US - probably $699US (+ $140US shipping) direct from SS. Even with Popcultcha's 20% sale Bane would still be $928AUS :thud:

Largely agree... especially with customers giving them a big tick of approval. Weta for me has been a big disappointment the last few years. With LOTR and Hobbit not having much a profile in the collecting community anymore one would think Weta would be going out of their way to differentiate...

I asked SS about this when the piece was first dropping and they just ran with the usual line, this is the cost minus the shipping discount internationals supposedly get. Used a $50 coupon to soften the blow somewhat, but it still hurts and after currency conversion is getting close to what it...

SS have done this to many international territories... yet somehow while international shipping fees have increased SS can offer Free US Shipping promotions on many items, see Leatherface, Killer Croc, new Turtles etc. So are SS passing on a genuine shipping increase or just having Int...

Sounds like you don't have the arms all the way in and set properly with the + and - terminals for the light up. Found mine a little tight on the arm fit and had to give them a decent push to get them fully into the sockets and set correctly. Once in properly the arms should be rock solid.

Well done to Weta... they've managed to kill a line off before it has even begun. Prices on these are :horror Price on the whole dio will be roughly $1000USD without shipping, add in currency fluctuations around the globe and the prices are even more ridiculous... though after the way Weta...

Yes they do, usually 10% or so.

Waiting with bated breath, the anticipation is immense...

Close, very close... but no cigar! :wave

Best pics I've seen of this piece by a loooooooonnnnnnngggggg way, big congrats! The cape is fantastic also really compliments the body position, really swell, again superb presentation.

Seen more than a few CR PF's that sit at an 11 O'clock angle as looking at him... perhaps the foot peg or hole or both were incorrectly set on some; though it wouldn't surprise me if he was leaning considering the cost cutting SS did on this piece. Thankfully mine sits straight, do admit I check...
