Statue 1/3 Prime 1 Studio - Jim Lee - Superman

[aa909]

Looks amazing. This and Jim Lee batman are Day one PO for me

Looks very good...Ive been trying to stay away from 1/3 scale but this may be too difficult to resist....

I've been staying away from 1/3 scale statues, too.

But I'm debating if this should be my first 1/3 scale. I think it will depend on the end result of this piece. I'll have to see ....

MUST SAY NOooooooooo

Wait, what ... there's a teaser pic up for Superman already, but nothing for Jim Lee Batman yet? It will be interesting to see how a floating pose is going to work at this scale.

So what do we think the price range for this will be?

Probably the same as all the others, $900-$1000.

 

[Asdf]

Definitely similar to Batman

Man, statue prices are getting up there now. When I first started, they were like $250 (yes, I'm old).

Prime 1's prices are ridiculous. I like their work but I know I'll never ever get one.

 

[dafunguy]

Yes ... To justify Prime's prices, it better be 10X better than these two awesome Jim Lee sculpts (these statues were about $100 ea). Haha

 

[Darth Lam]

Yeah, but those statues were also tiny compared to 1/3 scale.

With XM 1:4. Man, must really be selective nowdays

 

[AC_808]

Yup ...especially now that XM has the green light to make 1/4 scale DC characters. Need to be selective indeed!

This will still work out cheaper than an XM statue, IF you are in the US, of course.

 

[AC_808]

Yes, you're right. But these prices are still steep ...and being selective is a smart play.

 

[Cali604]

I agree being selective is key. I was pretty into this as Superman is my fav, but I dont really want to jump into 1/3 scale as it would look odd with my other statues. Now I will wait to see what XM does with their Superman since they do dynamic and more impressive art direction with their statues. Also I heard a lot of people say Prime 1 statues seem to be somewhat flat/dull paintwise.

But he is a Jim Lee Superman who is one of my favourite artist, and the pose looks cool if they nail the floating affect. Its going to be a wait and see approach.

Where I'm at, P1 pieces, you be lucky to sell off at retail prices. XM, on the one I own, quiet easy to sell at retail or above when I need space or want to sell. This also is a part to being selective

Yeah I had a hard time selling the Prime 1 movie turtles and that was with them being sold out for several months. I had to take a loss on all 4 to get rid of them... They are very big and bulky makes it hard to find display space, I just don't see 1/3rd doing well in the aftermarket when the time does come to sell..

 

[AC_808]

I agree, Dan. That's part of the reason why I chose to stay away from 1/3 scale. That and the space factor. I just couldn't do it. Thought I'd save myself the trouble.
