I will cast my vote on 1500 ES for the regular.
A lot of people were bummed out that they missed the EX and will now pass, and $1200.00 is still a pretty decent chunk of change. I believe those two factors will lower the amount of possible interest out there for them to produce more than a larger ES size of 1500.
With the EX and Reg at 750 and 1500 that's a total of 2250 pieces which is still a tough challenge to produce. I am sure they want the QC to be absolutely perfect on this statue, otherwise they will suffer a pretty negative backlash (We all know this is a given see Iron Studios Spider-Man). The amount of returns they would see for a statue not meeting the hype and expectations put on this piece in particular would hurt them more than a few extra sales going beyond the 1500 ES size.
They still make $2,700,000 off of the total of 2250 once all is said and done. That is a pretty awesome accomplishment for a charter not of the "A" tier list.

Knowing what a big Thanos fan you are I'm going to let you get away with that statement!
He has come a long way though hasn't he?

I hope it's smaller. I'm interested in this piece to start putting together my character group the cabal. Just wanted to point out XM is doing a massive piece on Namor his ES is only 388. Smaller character but these big heavy detailed pieces can only be QCd properly in a smaller batch. This guy is very detailed.
