The more I look at the photos, the less convinced I am about the likeness. In fact, it looks terrible.
I'm not surprised by the price, with the steady rises we've been seeing, it was always a matter of "when", not "if", a detailed 1/3 will hit (and breach) the $3K ceiling.....now we're here.
While I'm not surprised, this is where I will tap out. $3K for a figure that sits on a shelf and does nothing else (....what else should it do?
) - is, for me, ridiculous - especially, when I personally, consider what I could use $3K for.
Ironically, this pricing evolution has caused me to strongly consider the other price points as well, as it's not just 1/3 that have increased in price - everything has. From war gaming miniatures, to 1/6 action figures, to statues and everything inbetween......everything has gotten ridiculous now.
I don't "hate" Queen Studios - they're as tone deaf as every other company in the industry (maybe excluding Sideshow
) - at least when it comes to pricing. But, when coupled with their atrocious delivery record, unacceptable wait times, now - relatively poor likenesses, and hiked pricing (by the way, this will be around $4K to buy in Europe - maybe more) - this is definitely a company I will steer clear of.
