Prime 1 dropping edition sizes

I just thought I would post an interesting find regarding Prime 1 dropping edition sizes on a few Arkham pieces. This seems to be going un-noticed....until now crime fighters. Batman at work....

Prime 1 Nightwing
350 EX SS - https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collecti...tudio-9027821/
250 EX Prime 1 - https://www.prime1studio.com/ak-nigh...mmdc-12ex.html

Prime 1 Batgirl
500 EX SS https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collecti...tudio-9027831/
250 EX Prime 1 - https://www.prime1studio.com/ak-batgirl-mmdc-14ex.html

Prime 1 Arkham Origins Batman
800 EX SS https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collecti...tudio-9027841/
350 EX Prime 1 - https://www.prime1studio.com/ao-batman-mmdc-16ex.html

Please post if I missed anything....

Prime 1 website is Japanese edition separate to Sideshow world wide edition on their site??

Don't think anything has been dropped?

Not surprising at all. 1/3 scale is a much smaller market of collectors. folks are running into space issues with all the 1/4 scale stuff coming out, the 1/3 scale just compounds the issue.

On the flip side, I would expect higher prices going forward in light of smaller ES

Are they gonna drop the ES for Wonder Woman on Horseback? It was announced with an ES of 500 and a price that's 3.5 times higher than those Arkham statues.

I would assume this practice is only available to them for pre-order items. Otherwise would they just send out stickers to collectors to change their edition size labels? Such a slippery slope when manufacturers have the freedom to change edition sizes up or down even when released as a pre-order. I don't like this at all....

If the ES goes down I doubt many will complain. It's actually refreshing to see and also telling that they overestimated the demand for these drastically.

Once the Hush line is released I foresee a healthy availability of Arkham pieces in the aftermarket...

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Edition size going down is a bonus. Don't really see any negatives to that. Edition size increasing would be an issue though.
