We still haven't seen all of Rogue so I can't say either way but making this a PF just completely invalidates the reasons they gave for Magneto being a maquette. IMO.
Maybe it's just me but I still believe Mags was given the maquette mantle solely to justify the price hike that incurred after they scrapped the proto and reworked the piece. With this piece not having that drama I don't see this reaching beyond Mags price but I do see it being around the same price as the Deadpool pf.

The good news is now that we all love it, it will be a super premium Maquette (TM)(C).

They already showed the ex in the video. It’s the second hammer for his left hand. Stormbreaker I assume.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Deadpool PF price seems about right with the action pose and secondary sculpt (base). They will know they have a hit too reading this board lol.

It’s so strange how SS sees no correlation between love/hatred of products vs classic/Sideshow made-up costume. Who would have thought comic fans want statues of characters wearing costumes from comics. So weird.

This looks better without the cape which is exactly how I’d display him. I hope both hammers are made of metal

Saw that now. Not sure I'd display the ex.

this price will be similar to deadpool for sure
why? my theory
deadpool heatseeker ? why not just deadpool PF ( which it is )
now Thor Breaker of Brimstone Premium Format and not just a simple Thor PF?
they dont want to call these a maquette so they slap a name on the end because ppl have caught onto this maquette BS and here we are

I see what you're saying but in this case I think you're reaching. Deadpool Heatseeker and this have names on the end because the pieces tell a story and they give those stories names. Some other premium formats just don't lend themselves to that as much as those with elaborate storytelling bases so they refrain.

Sideshow knows that people will pay $650 to $700 for a premium format if it is worth it, regardless of whatever the ell they're calling it. Of course I do agree that SS have their tricks but personally I don't see the naming of this piece as one of them.
