I severely doubt it after Igo's comments.

There are plenty of other statues representing these characters at cheaper price points.
Yeah, I guess, but my bank account does not agree.

I personally think the pricing complaints as of late have been pretty valid. Bane and Deadpool are gorgeous pieces but in my humble opinion about a hundred dollars over-priced in each case. Hell, I really do love that Sideshow is "swinging for the fences" but theyre still doing it at a smaller scale than Prime 1 while now reaching Prime 1 prices. I'm all for a massive Thanos and if he's worthy of dropping a grand on I gladly and eagerly will do so but in all truth if Bane, Deadpool or even RS are an early indicator then I sadly expect Thanos to be a well-sized piece that should be priced around $700 to $800 max but will once more have us paying the SS Premium tax to the tune of around a grand. When that happens it's just not a purchase worth making when other companies like XM and P1 can produce something at that price point far more worthy of my monies.

I'm not getting Gamora, Groot or Rocket but Thanos has been on my radar since he was first hinted at. I'm hoping he pairs well with the Doom on throne.

I agree man. Just getting into collecting recently and the 479$ price tag was maybe justifiable. I pre-ordered bane only because he is one of my favorites. These prices are getting crazy. Sucks to be a newer collector trying to dive in.

Anything 1/4 scale is classified as a PF. Since this is a MAQ, I'm thinking this definitely won't be 1/4 scale. So, we're still waiting on a true 1/4 Thanos PF. I don't like the costume design (too Marvel Now looking from what I can see). Combine the fact that this possibly isn't 1/4 scale with the fact he's not wearing his classic duds....that adds up to a pass for me personally.

LOL it can't be anymore obvious, and people are still questioning.

Why would they specifically state to pick up Gamora, Angela, Rocket, Groot and Capt. Marvel (all 1/4 scale pieces) in the description for Thanos if this weren't a 1/4 piece to go with them?
