It's not an issue of "Can I afford it?" as much as it's "Am I getting my money's worth?" Granted, that's totally subjective, but I feel like I can get more bang for my collectible buck elsewhere with less worry about QC and years of development, etc. Anyhow, enjoy if you're getting it.
Well said. Sideshow seems to think they can keep raising their prices without offering collectors much of anything extra for the higher prices. With Prime 1, for example, they are more expensive and bigger pieces but you are getting a top quality piece with tons of switch outs like weapons and head sculpts to justify the price increase. Sideshow offers next to nothing in comparison. Prime 1's average price for a piece in their Batman line is $900 including all the extras versus Sideshow's average PF price is in the low to mid $500 now with one switch out if you are lucky and spotty quality.

Composed of high-quality PVC, and polystone and striking a dastardly pose with bulging yellow eyes and a maniacal grin, you can almost hear the Goblin’s wicked cackle as he readies another deadly explosive pumpkin bomb from his ominous bag of tricks...

Wonder what parts are pvc.

I think it would have looked better if they had painted the smoke all that orange color with the shading like how it looks closer to the glider. its throwing me off that its orange there then white then orange again at the bottom. I like the way the orange part looks

The orange in the bottom is probably to have some continuity with the Spiderman statue.

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

As for the PVC elements, as other have mentioned, it's most likely the fabric and thinner elements. That's actually a good thing. Don't get your panties in a bunch guys.
