Sir Frank

I know your reason behind the encouragement of us buying with our retailers but I am staying in a place where there is no existing retailers and must order from another island in my country to have it shipped which entails more cost. So, I will be getting it from your store directly.

When will your pre-order begin because with the rave this statue is having, I might miss my opportunity to grab one of this and I pray not to buy on Ebay where they will likely sell it more than it should even when its just pre-sale.

thanks again for finally releasing this beautiful statue.

I will be another ordering direct from Aspen.
I would love to help you guys out in the long run and buy through a retailer but being housebound kinda ruins that for me.
I buy everything online so this will be the same.
I'll be so excited to get my order in

Wow at the price.Luckily there are not much pieces from other producers that caught my eye. I can just fully concentrate on saving for this piece for now.

And kudos to you for asking us to support our retailers.

Awesome, thanks for the info Frank! Not a bad price either for something so beautiful. I've checked with my comic guy, and still waiting to hear what he can do in regards to ordering it directly through him (as I can set up a payment plan), if he can't then I'll more then likely go through Aspen directly.

I am curious though if there is going to be any additional perks (such as prints or anything) with this as an overall package and not just for pre-orders through the store (as that would sorta undermine going through your local retailer)

I never had a grail piece. Which is kind of sad. You kind of want that one special piece to work hard for, to work up to.
I thought for sure it would eventually be some kind of amazing piece by Sideshow or I would give in and just let the Trinity on Ducati take my grail spot.
I had the opportunity to get Trinity lately, and in the end I didn't want it. Yeah, it is hard to find and her price is high, but the statue just didn't talk to me.

I can gladly admit now, I have finally found my true grail, this statue of Fathom.

I don't think you can get much better than this. Sure, they can make her in 1/4 scale, that would be amazing, but it isn't necessary.
The sculpt is top notch, paint is amazing (the boxed pic version does have slightly brighter colors), but I am still happy with it.
The base...awesome. Her face is beautiful. I love the fins. Everything about this one is great and Aspen should be ultra proud.
I think she was definitely worth the wait and I think Michael Turner would have been very proud of this amazing depiction of his character.

I will be picking up both versions (if there is a second) of this one.
