Wonder Woman Full Size Bolland Statue

good luck on that one. its equally hard to find now

Agreed, if not more hard to find. But I have not heard of any prominent weakness issues with the Wonder Woman vs. Serpents Statue. Personally I like that one better anyway!

Additionally, I think DC did not make any apologies on the Bolland Statue because the sealed packaging serves it purpose, and issues only seem to occur when folks have opened or removed/replaced the statue and not restore the sealed integrity of the inner styrofoam by taping it tightly shut again.

I have to disagree some on that. I bought the statue on the day it shipped to funnybook stores. My store received 10 of these. I opened up the first one and the ankle was broken all the way through. The second one, cracked. Third, broken through. Fourth, cracked, fifth...cracked, sixth...well, you get the picture. The eighth one was perfect. The owner went ahead and opened the other ones and they all had damage. So, out of 10 there was only 1 good statue. The other ones also had cracked and broken spears. I believe that this was one of DC Direct's best statues but one of their worst packaged or worst QC'd ones.

Any of the same problems on the Adam Hughes Wonder Woman vs Serpents statue? I think I'll go look for that one instead and give up on the headache.

I'm actually looking to get rid of my full sized Wonder Woman vs Serpents statue, good shape other than some faded paint in one spot. I also have the entire first series of Women of the DC Universe busts that I'm also looking to unload.

back then DC never invested enough in good package engineering

you'd definitely have no trouble getting rid of them. The demand for them is there, especially for the serpents piece. Im still looking for a good deal. Shipping and fear of damage usually kills me.

I wouldn't know what to ask for them, even though I've seen them going for well more than their original price. Don't want to screw myself by asking too little or asking too much and not selling them. I'd probably be happy just to get back what I paid for them.

Thanks, that helps. I suppose I could start with their original MSRP and go from there whenever I get around to posting them on eBay or wherever.

edit: Just one of the full sized Serpent statues going for 210.00 currently, I'd probably be happy getting at least that much.

Mine has no probs either
