I would be thrilled to be wrong and it sell hotcakes.
Even with being a sales dud I still believe Hugo makes more business sense than PCS would be willing to admit. Ant is very adamant in blaming the community when something doesn't meet sales expectations.
He said they?ll ?eat their lunch on this one?. I think that means it?s happening.

And thank god! Now I need Mike Haggar, Abigail and a New Alex!

🤤

I still think it will but as always with these things it's happening until it isn't and until it does it hasn't.

Oh and add Cody and Guy to that FF list please.

If ssc could do there new Venom PF for $650, surely this could had been done for that much too.

Do you know why Chevrolet can give you a better deal on a Silverado than they can on a Colorado?

Even though the Silverado is a bigger, more expensive truck.

It’s because they sell/lease 15 Silverados to every 1 Colorado.

I’d imagine that if PCS was able to sell 2,000- 5,000 Hugos (like SS will with Venom) the prices could probably go a bit lower. Maybe.

But hey, their Juggernaut is like $1,400.00!!!! So at least they beat the f*** out of that price.

You get Hugo and Poison for that price.

I?m pretty sure Hugo is a hallow cast therefore it wouldn?t be as much as some people think it should be. With Jugg, if you got the EX, you?re basically getting 2 statues. Juggs is also much bigger than Hugo so it?s not a fair comparison.

Hollow casting has very little to do with price and any difference is mainly due to marginal boat container shipping as it is volume matters most. The difference in price of material between rotocasting and fully solid is literally pennies as polystone is an extremely cheap plastic.

Now rotocasting for a more expensive material like vinyl can be a cost saving measure.

Price is all about complexity of production.

Well unless you’re in on the process, that sounds like a complete guess lol.

Aaaaaand. I’m no expert, but I’m fairly certain most of these are hollow, and occasionally filled with a resin/foam like material to give them some strength and weight.

But I don’t really care. As long as it looks awesome. I don’t need my statues to be collapsing my shelves to enjoy them.

And imho Juggernaut/Hugo is a much more “Fair” comparison in terms of size and popularity.

Venom is 10x more popular and will sell better than Juggs or Hugo ever would.

Question: Do you think $1,400 is a good price for Juggernaut? Lol
