Joker Arkham Asylum Premium Format Figure

[hannibal10]

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!!!!

In Soviet Russia, Sideshow pay you for Joker statue!

$450 eh...Yeah I'll stick with my EX Comic Joker.

 

[TimStatelman]

Ive seen regular edition Jokers on ebay go for $450-$500 so not really much cheaper and I bet the EX edition size for this piece will probably be higher than the old regular edition. I like the regular edition head on the old one more than the EX but thats just me

Probably will be sold out before coupon eligible.

agreed, this will def sell out and probably pretty quickly....just sad that in the last year it went from $350 for a PF to $450

 

[SuperJ300]

$450!!! I'll just get Batman only for me.

I think your paying for the name Sideshow than the quality of these statues.

 

[Proc1313]

$450 What a joke. No pun intended. I was really excited for this piece to come out and now I say easy pass for me. These new prices on PF's are ridicules. This is just Sideshow getting greedy. Higher edition numbers and lower quality.

Well technically speaking the original Joker PF PO was in 2011, so you're talking a 4 year gap.

 

[Jofiguer]

Damn this looks good, but prime one is making the batman I wonder if they will be making a joker as well...
But I will still put a preorder in for this one...

 

[sarakawa]

$450, yup not surprised...prices continue to rise pretty much piece to piece now. Bats is gonna be $500 easy...

 

[BurningRage]

Anybody gonna get Mark Hamill to sign their base?

I thought with competition companies would lower their prices. It looks like the opposite.

That's the issue though, everyone else who is "Competing" with Sideshow has high prices. All Sideshow is doing is raising their prices to match.

 

[m.c.d.spargo]

Now I'm just starting to feel insulted by Sideshow.

 

[dw316]

Anybody gonna get Mark Hamill to sign their base?

I would love that! Is he doing conventions?

 

[dw316]

I hope he and Bats can fit into a BESTA together, I'm running out of space... need to start selling stuff...

 

[xb24]

I wonder if anyone would eventually sell the EX head..We can only PO regular versions through our local store.

 

[CJL182]

He looks pretty damn good, but I don't love it enough to drop $450 before tax and shipping. I'll stick to comic DC line, but I'll make an exception if they release a AC Harley.

 

[ambasah]

I like it buy $450 is crazy for this! I will wait for the edition size before making my decision.

 

[Frostlord]

$450?! Good one Sideshow
