when iron man comes out i hope i'll get one for that price.

One reason is there are 3 Hawkeye statues on the market right now. Thus, competition leads to lower prices. Thankfully I paid close to retail for my HH Hawkeye.

Oh wait.

This is an EXCELLENT statue and a steal for that price. Like odin said, stat prices are low right now. Of course, with all the $ I dropped on the kids and wife for Christmas, I'm too broke to take advantage of it!!!

Of the Hard Hero statues released so far, Hawkeye is my favorite. A terrific sculpt in a killer pose, great detail, and a nice, large scale that matches the Thor, Cap (and I hope, Iron Man and Hercules) perfectly.

Underdog is right... having two other companies release Hawkeye statues at the same time depressed prices, and there is a glut of product on the market now, in general.

I'm waiting until after it's released to buy Hercules, hoping to get it for substantially below list, but I didn't want to take the chance on Iron Man, which may be the best statue of Shellhead ever released. I (pre-)Bought It Now for $178, and even if they drop on the secondary market, I will count it money well spent.

That's wishful thinking buddy! If you do get one for that, please let me know! Hawkeye is definitely the easiest to get for the cheapest price, but even what he got it for is extrememly lucky.

Like Lord Odin said, you can find many a statue for cheap. SS Magneto has gone for as low as just a wee bit over $100. I guarantee you won't find a Thing from HH that low! I feel that Hawkeye might have had too high an edition. 500-750 for the second tier popular characters should be enough. The most popular characters (Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc.) should be at least 750-1000. No more! If the statues completely sell through, then they should make more. I hate to see wasted natural resources for something that no one will appreciate. Many of those statues will never get sold and just sit in the boxes till the end of time. What a waste!

With that being said, HH Hawkeye is definitely an awesome statue and I feel it is the best Hawkeye out in the market right now. For the size, the pose, the paint job, and the money, it is indeed a statue that should not be missed. Still wish it had some arrows in his pack!
