besides guys Sideshow's bodies have gotten better as each reinvention moves forward. thats why i mentioned in one of my threads that bodies should be offered so people can dust off their old SSC and exchange out the bodies.
ebay won't have the bodies forever so it would be a smart move. because people would do that for their Buffy,x-files,james bond,etc
let's face it people DCD sucks a$$ with their mamoth heads and wonky bodies and they seem to be the only opt and now finlly SSC versions look a ton better and under the cost of insanity of hot toys. So asking for hot toys quality and cheeper cost does seem not logical.
the cost that people complain about keep in mind compromises need to be made. for several reason's:
costume design making high detail for basically pennies(it's a fact that seamstress/tailors are underpaid for the work not just in toys), and sculpters have to make what is with schedule so thats why some seemed rush because of the tight schedule, then painters. and thats not counting pkg, bodies,testing then a proto is produced which may change based on are reaction.
Sometimes a proto is an unmovable statue mattel was kinda bad for this and big changes got red flags.
everyone here wants SSC to step up their game and they are but cost goes up for this. the female and male bodybuilder bodies are something completly new, and have to be tested before they drop a heavy cost for a metal cast or several heavy rubber or cermic molds for mass production. I think metal molds are nolonger used for FDA reasons.
it's not like Triad where their new females are for 59.99 with moderatly ok heads and they live under the delusion their stepping up their game.
SSC has good reasons for taking steps. Im assuming the issues we have is excitment, anxiety and fear that the bodies won't work for the cost(again reason why bodies should be availabe "just saying"),
What might slow the roll of this is if someone from SSC makes a thread for these remaining 1st wave dc: Superman,Batman,Harley Quinn, and Catwoman. and post updates and maybe tell us what's going on some of us might have solutions for probs. to speed things up.
