Just saw this one in person over the weekend while conducting my Bowen hunt downtown. It was going for $224.00 Canadian.

I actually thought the Goblin's facial expression was just SINISTER. I actually like it and have just placed an order with my LCS. Since it did not sell out as of yet. 2,500 production run. I believe it is 13 inches in height.

I thought this piece was great when I first saw it in previews. Not that there are so many Green Goblin statues out there, but I think this is the best one so far.

Try visiting www.scifiwarehouse.com.
They have the Green Goblin Milestone Statue listed for £89.99 much less than it should be (180.00).

However, i don't know what your rights would be if you ordered one and they then raised the price realising their mistake i.e. would they have to honour the price they have quoted or would they be able to charge you the correct higher price

I like this one as well. I think that it and the Sideshow GG are both very well done.

Thanks Earth X, But I already had my LCS guy put the order in for me. $224.00 Canadian. About $175.00US if I am not mistaken plus discount.

Great statue. I kinda wish the the ears weren't so far out , but I guess every artist has a different interpretation of G.Goblin .

I got this last week and it has quickly moved to the top of my favorite list. I like that it is a very heavy action pose. Although it did eat up a lot of shelf space.

I actually did a double-take at it last week at my LCS and it looked pretty nice except I don't like when the goblin is portrayed as demonic looking and his costume texture was heavy scale-like.

I really wish someone would sculpt a full-size Goblin statue based soley on Romita Sr's version. The closest thing we've gotten is the DS action figure based on Amazing Spider-Man #39.

Can anyone confirm the run amount?

I know I had previously stated 2,500. But, when I received it..on the Diamond Distributor box it said Green Goblin Statue #646 OF 1,070?

But, on the actual statue and box it says #646 of 2,500?

Any ideas guy's and gal's?

Seen this in Mid-town Comics. Looks much better than the pictures. Nice sculpt.

I'm just hoping that they make this one a mini like the spider-man. I would love to have gotten the larger versions however they are too big and too much $$$$.

A very nice piece with a great action sculpt. The ears on DST's mini bust are rather large too. Took some getting used to but both are great in my opinion.

Another nice GG bust is the one from Legends in 3D from 1997.

This is one of my favorite busts. The GG & Spider-Man bust, side by side are AWESOME! Definetely undervalued!

Legends in 3D did not get the recognition it deserved!

Awesome statue indeed. The wicked grin. The transparent smoke effect. Very sweet looking. I think I'm gonna pick this one up.
