I grew up a huge fan of King Kong and the classic Universal stuff.
This piece here is like a perfect storm of elements that I like (steampunk, Olivia/cheesecake, BoF) but probably wouldn't purchase anything of, at this level, on their own.
I also appreciate an affectionately irreverent spin occasionally. In fact, had this been simply a straight take on the character, lifted from a still or set photo, I doubt it would have hooked me.
Price aside, I really do dig this one quite a bit. Very tempted when the main chunk of the bill is this far out, to throw caution and PO.
Because of that price, and the subject/tone of it, I don't expect this to move all that fast in the PO phase. And if it doesn't, the eventual ES will most likely be on the small side.
I was beefing about the price of Bill Stout's "Peace" statue, relative to it's size, a couple years back. Had I not relented and PO'd, I'd likely have missed it altogether. There was never a lot of chatter about it, but that thing was sold out in no time.
Despite Olivia's higher profile with SSC, I could easily envision that happening here.
