While Batman was underrrated, WW was awesome and GL has potential three comprable SS pieces offer more for the money.

The SS PFs go for between $250 (Spider-Man) and $500 (Abomination), at least that's those are the prices I see on their website.

The DCD PFs go for $300.

So the prices are about the same.

The DCD Batman piece was good, the WW piece was very good. The Superman piece was bad and the GL piece looks bad too me.

The SS PFs also run the gamut from bad (Spider-Man) to very good (Captain America).

So I don't see a big difference in price or quality. Of course "quality" is a personal opinion and I've stated mine.

SS has produced more PFs that DCD.

It seems that pre-sellers are willing to deeply discount off the regular retail price to move them.

or the retail price is way over inflated,people who pay retail for the DC pieces should be burnt at the stake,they are the ones driving the cost upwards and are also the first ones to complain about price hikes.if anything i have learnt from years of collecting is ,never ever buy anything at retail unless it's a sideshow must have exclusive and that too is very rare nowadays.
people who think they cant get those ittty bitty batman B and W statues cannot be had for like atleast (and i mean at least) 60 to 70% of their retail price really like wasting money.

I think DCD prices are high because they use porcelain and not polystone. Im ok with it because I'm not satisfied with "Stone like".
