I'm waiting for the damage control by Infinity once this news spreads through FB.

I don’t usually look at this hobby as any sort of investment as well, but then again, i have never buy a bust that cost $3300.

That is a biig amount of money for me, so I’m thinking that if I am getting it, there’s a big chance that the value will rise up so if one day (God forbid), I’m in an emergency need of budget, I can sell it for at least the original buying price.

Now with this fact, if one day i want to sell it, one of her eyes might droop and i might have to call it “DCeased Wonder Woman” for sale, and only get like 1/4 of what I originally spent for her.

Me too. I’d like to hear Queen Studios answer on this subject.

Kudos to Infinity being up front about that.

I'd guess that twenty is a best case scenario (under glass, controlled temp & light, etc), and some of us would likely see flaking and hair falling out after fifteen years, if not sooner.

Yeah.... with a real woman it's more expensive on the up-keep over 20-40 years before we just stop giving a damn.

So twenty is pretty good.

Personally I’m not overly concerned what state these busts will be in 20 plus years, the statue market could have collapsed by then and whole collections could be worthless, you could of dropped it whilst moving, the world could of ended, you could’ve of won the lottery (hopefully before the end of the world) silly I know but you get the point. Basically anything could happen, 20 years is a LONG time. Besides it works out to $165 a year, if you can’t afford that i’d question the purchase in the first place.

Queen studios have already stated they’ll be using platinum silicone which is pretty much the best you can get.

So basically Queen can use much much better material with cheaper price.. hmm.
