This looks good I like it. Better than I expected. But the new prices for big characters has been set now 1400.00? What a new ball park for prices. They are now in fan art, xm, p1 price ranges. They know people are complaining but always pay that much for the other companies. It will sell out lol.... But also I'm sure some will feel the pain with these new prices. To me it's absurd that this is more than the massive p1 ivy, batman, superman, etc. Wow this sets the bar to another new high to see what's the limit for collectors. Imo I think collectors will start to feel the pain at 1600-2000.00 a pf. That might be the start of the end as far as the masses go. We shall see. There is still a lot of people with money in this hobby. This will probably be a bit small in size like the last hulks, but I actually like the sculpt. Looks pretty good! Sales will fall from statues but ss will make it up with selling other things like prints, back packs, purses, figurines, and all that piles of stuff on their site. Maybe cutting down on the super massive fancy displays at the headquarters may help a bit. If this was double the size I can work with the pricing.

As far as I’m concerned the Kitty Ex is a full statue, which excels in showing her mutant abilities.

Honestly Sideshow pricing pieces this high, has pretty much already encouraged me to move on from their pieces. While at the same time my Prime 1 preorders look like better value every single day. More so when Sideshow put up new preorders.

Thank you Sideshow for disparaging European buyers again.
If they want to copy the big companies, they start putting more heads or accessories in the regular edition.

The price are higher but we can't deny that the painting is much more complex than other products made by Prime 1 studio or XM. And complex means expensive.

Tell that to the Prime 1 1:3 Mr Freeze, that's as complex as they come!

Except 90% of the time their factories can't reproduce the proto paints so it's a wash anyways.
