Take a gander at BBTS.

As much as I like this, for $3K plus it would have to be my favorite character and a stellar presentation. In that regard, I "want them to" and "don't want them to" do a Cavill Man of Steel.

To be fair on Spec Fiction - if you're in the US, with free shipping, the price probably equals what you'd pay if you ordered direct from JND (factoring in import tax and duty, and shipping).

But if you live in Europe, and you missed out on ordering direct from JND, that Spec Fiction price hurts big time!

By the way, Spec Fiction had 18 left, as of this morning CET.

Additonal: For those holding out for Superman, in theory, you should be able to breath a sigh of relief. If this platinum piece is $3199, then JND have (again, in theory) set their upper pricing bar (at least for 2022) - meaning Superman will be cheaper. And to avoid looking stupid, I would assume - considerably cheaper! - so merry Christmas.

JND CEO was saying the lowest official price for retailers is $3,899, so interesting that Spec and Sugo are able to sell it for less than that.

Isn't it a bit crazy that 1/3 pieces are as much as lifesize busts now? And here I thought the $2500 for Harley was wild. Biggest thing holding me back right now. This is a huge jump for 1/3. I could get another bust.

Spec Fiction's price is great for US residents imo.

Sugo's mark-up is even more expensive than Spec's, however it's probably still $400-$500 AUD cheaper than it would've been ordering direct from JND once you include shipping, customs and sales tax. Though that's a guess as I don't know how much they charged for shipping to Australia.


Heck Sugo listed the JND WW ($3,200 USD / $6,100 AUD) for the exact same amount that they listed the Queen Thor bust ($3,800 USD / $6,100 AUD). Though I don't believe that's totally unusual as I think they've done the same with previous pieces from JND. Though given what is being said above, about what price retailers are being asked by JND to charge for the piece, it makes much more sense if true.

Preordered.
spec or nothing for me.

I’m out if I had to order anywhere else.
Figured better safe than sorry.
If I miss PO from spec, I’m not paying $4k for this elsewhere.
