that's the old face. Sigh...wish they would have kept it.

This is a nice piece, minus the cheap looking tutu, but I'm definitely not seeing a $600 statue here - especially for it being an unlicensed piece.

Weren't the others $600 five years ago? By comparison, this is a bargain!

IDK I didn't buy them. If you think $600 is cheap for this piece, they saw you comin' a mile away

Considering you can buy all the original Honey Trap statues for around 1/2 price, I would be very cautious of spending $600 on a new one..

$499 if purchased by Sept. 7th

I don't understand why some GG pieces crash in price, while others rocket. I guess it is down to supply and demand.

Some GG pieces i paid over the odd's for. Some GG pieces i got super deals on.
The main thing is, every GG piece i own is a keeper. They are all excellent.

More to do with momentum than anything. GG doesn’t know how to create it and maintain it to maximize profits. The HT line dropped to a HUGE amount of hype & excitement but GG’s lack of follow through killed any momentum. The line never capitalized on the positive buzz due to how long it took them to deliver the actual product. Collectors are fickle, their focus shift like the wind and in today’s market if you don’t strike while the iron is hot you miss your window.

I have never bought any of the Honey trap statues but I love the look of Brexit. After doing more research on the line though I will hold off ordering one once it goes up for PO. I see the chances of getting one for about 25-50% lower than retail down the road are pretty significant. If it happens to be one that goes up in price instead I can live without it.
