Yea, wasn’t the 1/2 BD Mk 3 $2500? $2k is way too much for this. If it came with an open mask Downey portrait, I would understand.

How is this even worth $2k? It has a simple base and the statue has no switch outs or portrait. Prime 1 is more affordable than this and I already thought Prime 1 was losing their minds with pricing.

Solid pass for me.

Well Prime 1 has been charging that much for their Transformer pieces since day 1. In particular the Optimus Prime statues. And those don’t have any silicone either.

Though if they showed that they were doing that group shot scene from Avengers 1, I might’ve been tempted.

I thought most of those had switch outs, but fair enough.

Price is better, but still strange. Spec Fiction says 299 edition size for each, but don't know if that's accurate or not.

AH, got it. They are both too much lmao. I would still take either of them over a JND piece, though. Everything is ?overpriced? these days. Given how small edition sizes are getting, statues are still having hard time selling out, so these guys must still be making good profits.

I wish this was the 1/2 scale. Instead of the one we got, awkward pose and odd proportions.
