Red Skull PF

[Buttmunch]

No swastika on the arm band ?... I guess SS wants to be politically correct.

Actually that would make them politically INcorrect. The nazi party is a political party, which the Red Skull was apart of. So by leaving out the swastika, they were being political incorrect. It would be like using a cow instead of a donkey for the Democratic Party.

But yeah, it was at Marvel's request. Which I don't get. Red Skull was a Nazi. No amount of tinkering is going to change that. Captain America was created to fight nazis and so his arch-nemesis was a nazi. Yes Nazis were bad, but they existed. I don't think they should be covering up a character's past like that. I just pray they don't make the Red Skull a 'generic German soldier' in WWII for the movie. I mean everyone watching will know he is a nazi by the time period. Trying to avoid saying he is a nazi would only draw more attention to the fact he is a nazi.

Its a personal pet peeve of mine. Its one thing to leave it off of a kid's action figure, but a $300 statue aimed at adult collectors? He should have been historically (and politically) accurate.

Wasn't there some customizers that made a Swastika for this statue?? I'd still love to track one down.

[Boba Ben]

This is one of the best Marvel premium formats in my opinion. I'd like to track one down one day.

It was just sitting in a local comic book shop for 400, but they were running a 25% off sale so it was 300.

 

[laudel7]

That's a great score! Congrats

 

[Bullseye]

This is an amazing piece. Congrats on your purchase.

 

[Modus]

Thanks. I'm pretty psyched that it was just sitting there. I wasn't willing to pay what eBay was asking for it.

That's a good deal. Very good deal. Congrats.

It's a really detailed piece. I'm not a big fan of the villains, but SS did a great job with this one.

 

[Awesome]

Why isn't this piece more sought after like Captain America and Thor?

 

[Chapter 2099]

Why isn't this piece more sought after like Captain America and Thor?

Because I decided to sell mine and everyone else followed suit.

The market hasn't been the same since.

 

[Modus]

I've been watching EBay for it and it's been selling for around 490 each time.

 

[Adolfo]

Fantastic piece...Grats
