Glad to see the Honey Trap line moving forward with the addition of Lucky, now up for pre-order.

I must ask however, how did GG determine the price point on this one? As good as it looks I'm not seeing the same level of detail as Whisper and to a lesser extent Derby to justify it being priced similarly. Is $599.99 going to be the base price for this line no matter how simplistic the statue may be when compared to it's predecessors?

To draw further comparison I'm also not seeing much (if any) detail difference between Lucky and some of the similarly 1:4 scaled Marvel & Walking Dead pieces on the horizon.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

I absolutely agree and I'm very PO on GG pricing her that high. The detail does not warrant the price.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

Lucky will be my first GG statue and this will be my most expensive buy to date
I have decided to try GG, as 1, the quality on this is amazing and 2, basically all my Sideshows now seem to come with QC issues and I've quite frankly had enough.

I was wondering though, is there something different in the way these are made/painted or are they done by better skilled workers, as they just look up another level in terms of detail and paint application.

Also, can you say if the production run will have the same quality as the one below

Thanks

After seeing the recent pics of Lucky I'll retract my last query regarding her price point in comparison to Derby. They appear to be on par with one another. Looking forward to both.

Have you obtained, or will you be pursuing a Guardians of the Galaxy film license? If yes, what scale would you be offering?
