There’s 6 PFs that cost more than this Bane. There’s significantly more PFs that cost more than Silver Surfer. So it can’t be price. Who knows though. Just makes no sense.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Agreed. I don’t know. I want to say after second thought maybe intricacy of the base and the piece overall? Then another thought is maybe it’s character popularity? Examples off the top of my head are 3 of their more recent pieces including this Bane, the recent Silver Surfer reveal and Magneto? But as you said it makes no sense.

The OG Bane’s base is more intricate than the Bane Maquette... And was more expensive.
It truly is an enigma for our times.

The decision to label something a maquette seems quite arbitrary. It's probably a marketing decision rather than anything based on artistic or practical guidelines.

They probably just named this one a maquette because the last one was a PF

That OG Joker portrait is still the best Joker portrait out there. Waiting on one that is as good.

Never liked the pose of that Joker especially the arms and hands. Don’t really care for anything that’s come since either. Hopefully one day there will be one that I can agree with.
