I have been waiting for this for 10 years. It looks good so far, but absent the full reveal including price, I can't start my official patience rewarded celebration.

Wish this was done years ago so the price wouldn't be over 1k. It would have been like $700 at the most. Rhino was huge and it wasn't too expensive.

Congrats to those who are buying, looks great. Special congrats to board member, force of nature. As long I been on these forums I can remember you wanting a SS Juggernaut. Hope you’re happy with it buddy.

If I remember Rhino was $400.000. Skaar was $380.00. The new Gladiator Hulk could be $1,200 or so and that would be double the original
Be cool if SSC would complete the King Hulk on Throne

That's why SSC needs to consider the price of this thing carefully. They risk alienating a lot of buyers.

I just don't believe this is another ToT level statue. Seeing the full sculpt might change my mind, but right now I just don't.

I think Rhino was my first direct purchase from SS. What a beast! He's still one of their best pieces despite the material and neck seam.

I agree. The most recent comparison I can think of is the Doomsday maquette. Reception was maybe "good" overall but not gushing. I know I was put off by the litany of JL memorabilia shoved in there as well as the design liberties. Ugh, back on topic...

Doomsday had a $1250 price tag with 300 EX edition size and 600 Reg. I imagine a competent Juggernaut effort will have more units produced. Would the Unstoppable One also justify an increased price tag??

been saying this for a while, they should seriously consider a price freeze for a year or two to get people back on board

Doomsday had a low ES because everyone took a stand on that ridiculous price tag and didn’t pre order it. Sideshow definitely took notice of that and hopefully the price tag won’t be more than $8-$900. Wishful thinking, I know!
