The 1:3 Hush Batman has been a constant temptation but I kept hoping the 1:4 scale would be announced eventually and I am glad that it's finally here.
I am fine with the simpler base but would have preferred to have the bats, as it worked so well. I wonder if they will include all the 4 portraits or just one alternate head. I am fine with no alternate heads.
Considering the sculpt and design work won't require a major overhaul and the base is simpler, I am really hoping the price point is lower than their recent 1:4 statues.
I want to highlight the original prices and edition sizes of the 1:3 scales statue.
Regular Blue (1 Head) (ES: 500) was $1,099
Bonus Blue (5 Heads) (ES: 999) was $1,369
Black (4 Heads) (ES: 500) was $1,369
Retailers continued to carry the Blue Deluxe edition which had 4 heads and was priced $1,369, though I am not sure what was its edition size, but I am thinking it's part of the 999 bonus edition which Prime 1 didn't sell out. Maybe I am wrong about this.
Except the regular blue, the other two editions are still available at Prime 1 store.
For the last three weeks SpecFic had the Blue Deluxe edition as part of their dynamic deals. Their original price was $1349 and discounted price is $999, which is 26% off. As of today they have one stock left. Of course with shipping and taxes it would revert to $1395.
If the 1:4 statue isn't priced at $800 or lower, then it would be seem a better value for money to wait for the 1:3 statue price to drop in the future to $999, especially if space is not a concern.
I hope they surprise us (in a good way) with the pricing.
