I agree. While the EX does look nice, the REG portrait is pure classic Bane. That's the only one I'd HAVE to have for this PF.

Now what if Sideshow did offer EX heads but at a premium for collectors? I would buy it....

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

That's not going to happen. Ebay gets a percentage of every sale. The higher the price, the bigger the cut. No way they'd limit pricing. As far as ebay is concerned, the more a piece sells for, the better.

Well, the item is sold out. They feel like they can get that. I mean, good luck to them... But now that the item is pretty much gone, resellers can dictate the price since the buyer has no other option. It's up to the buyer to agree.

Economics: they're fun!

I think they still do cut it off at $250, but that's 10% of a $2500 item, so unless you're selling for over that there is no real benefit.

Trying to take advantage of the initial panic purchasers.
Happens on every piece.
Christmas time and after Christmas the price will drop. People trying to unload for extra cash.

As many buyers have said both heads is stunning in person! Many hated the ex head until they owned it. Really it's best to own the ex for both great heads. I still changed them daily because of how good both heads look. Also this guy is one heavy MF!
