The problem I have is not with the gems themselves...its the gold circular housing that the gems sit into. It stands out like a sore thumb. However, even with the less than stellar gauntlet, this is still a phenomenal throne piece of worthy villain of epic proportions.

There was a side-by-side pic on one of the Facebook groups of live pictures of the gauntlet turned on and off. The gems have the M&M look only when the light is on. When the lights are off the gems look similar to the proto.

So will Sideshow troll everyone by displaying Thanos at SDCC with the exclusive head ?

Probably not. They have lots of regulars to sell.

You honestly think it will fetch $4-5K?

Wishful thinking!

The EX! The EX! The REG around 3k. But not from day1, give them 3 years+. I have seen this happening MANY times in other markets (watches, wines etc). The same rules apply. Apart from some earlier posts where i explained how this market and other similar markets work, theres another reason. Or maybe 2

You all forget why ALL of our statues will appreciate 10 or 15 years from now...Whoever gets what are these 2 factors, i will re-name him/her mini-forps... Im just kidding!

Total Es matters my friend. That will determine the true value of any statue out there.

Exactly, especially with the "flipping/reselling" mentality that is embroiled so deeply into this hobby, it is ridiculous, I've never seem anything quite like it. Maybe Funcoland?

There's no way in 3 years with a $1000+ price tag which is treated as a "huge" price tag, with an ES of 5000 total, that there will not be 30+ for sale at all times on eBay in 3 years, 5 years and so forth.

Please consider how many statues are being added to the market yearly.
