I'm guessing you must be pretty rich Josh to not care if a $1000 statue is only worth $600 after you take it out of the box.

Buy a new car and as soon as you drive it off the lot it's depreciated close to 10%. That could be $2 - 5K. Would that mean you're rich too?

Looks awesome...

Thanks. I really jumped the gun on this not knowing if I would even come across the jacket before I starting customizing her.

Black canary. It had the right style and color. If I didn't get it, I was going to get it custom made. Not sure how much that would had cost me. Glad I was able to get it.

That's not correct. If a piece of art goes down in price it's because there are not enough people who appreciate it as much as the original buyer. Art sells for a price because someone is willing to pay it, in their eyes the piece was worth that price because they enjoy it. It's not about rich, poor or in between.

That's what I think gets lost, buying pieces that are enjoyed, not coveted because they're going to make you money down the road.

looks good. how much did it set you back? bet this will inspire a few people to look at customizing a WW body or pickup an extra to do so.

Not a bad idea since she's relatively lower priced by comparison to the newer PFs, I just don't know what I'd do, I think that's the biggest thing, having an idea.

The cost of sculpting putty, tape, paint, primer, misc materials and jacket is probably like $440 USD or so. Since I had 3, it was good to do one. The jacket was the key.

My next one is redoing Spider Woman in metallic version similar to kotobukiya exclusive version
Since I have 3 of her too.
