Companies and factories go smaller to save cost. This trend was actually started by Bowen. It became so widespread that nowadays factories in China go by height in inches with the base included, and not actual scale. It is kinda funny but it is what it is.
Now as a rule of thumb, when one company claims as scale, always think one size smaller. 1/4 is actually 1/5, 1/6 is actually 1/7, 1/10 is actually 1/11 or 1/12, are in the case of The "Bowen" scale, you are looking between 1/8 to 1/9. True 1/6 scale should be around 10" to 15" depending on character actual height, and without the base. Although larger, I'm sure that Tweeterhead pieces are not even close to that.  |
Makes sense. DC's Cover Girls line was 1/8-scale and priced at $100 from 2009 to 2017. This year, the price went up to $125. When I compared the first Joelle Jones statue to previous statues, I noticed that DC bumped up the scale to 1/7, same as the Bombshells (also $125). I'm glad that the statues are larger given the price increase (initially I thought it was inflation).

Today is the last day for pre-order to get the exclusive. I still haven't decided yet. Not really in love with the exclusive.

That's what I was thinking. They have a great start so far for Supes Family, and Bats Family, and possibly a Titans lineup....possibilities seem endless.
My hope is that they will do a Krypto as a SDCC exclusive or something.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I was just about to pre-order it today when I noticed it was no longer able to be ordered. They did the same thing with the Harley EX, too, though - it also had a "last day" to order, was "out of stock" for a while, then went up for order again and was available for a long time.
I guess it's not a huge loss if it doesn't become available again. I'm not sure I ever would've displayed the EX portrait...

I think grphx1 said it might become available again on the website at a later date if they have replacement exclusive parts left overs. Maybe that is what happened with Harley?

Not sure... I sent Debbie something asking. I thought Harley went back up for order long before it started shipping, but I could be wrong. I think it was Harley's availability so close to (and I think after) it's release that made me feel comfortable waiting to pull the trigger on pre-ordering so early on some of these.

Good luck Brandon. I've been saying this recently that the exclusives seem to be made to order. Just because an ES amount is given doesn't mean that it'll bet made. Superpowers Superman's cut off sale date was announced the same as the Wonder Woman's cut off.
I'm hopeful that you will be able to snag one.
