Iron Giant Maquette

I have a number of non-collector friends with the Mondo figure (so I guess that now makes them collectors, haha). They were perfectly happy to shell out for it even though they had nothing else in their collections, so I'm sure the new statue would be sought after by actual collectors.

I absolutely agree with you but the mondo edition size was never what I'd call large either. The shadow variant and EX were 150 and 250 respectively. The regular was 608. That pretty much falls in line with the Sideshow edition sizes. Anyhoos, I completely agree with you. As a fan of Iron Giant and someone who lovingly picked up the variant I know there's a market for it and it'll EASILY retain it's value. it's just a tad more niche than anything Marvel is all Cheers

Oh I just looked on the box and you're absolutely right! I apologize as I thought the edition size for the regular was a lot higher than that. I did have the shadow version a long time ago, but it just didn't look right in my collection, so I sold it for what I paid. I'm sure this statue will have a lot of presence!

My Waitlist meter is all the way to the right and says chances "Not Good" lol.

Will I convert?

It's an in stock item for immediate shipping. For a wait list to convert the people who bought it would have to decide extremely quickly that they don't want it any more, or impulse buyers who bought on payment plan might decide they don't want it or can't afford it and may cancel at some point.

Wow. Status has already changed to Shipped!

Mine says Tuesday. This will be the shortest amount of time I've ever had to wait for a statue. I'm used to preorders so I'm excited to get this so soon!
