Zatanna maybe?

Even PCS terrible amateurish 1/4 Cammy is 605$..

Think about it from their perspective. The investment that goes into making a PF of said C and D list characters.. Then to present it and have people be cool on it. Then having to sell at a discount down the line to get some of that cash back. I would bet that even a bad Batman sells better than a Good Taskmaster. Also the world is pretty much on fire right now. Like everything is becoming comically expensive. I'm sure all the data they are getting is showing a major slow down in what people are buying and how they are buying. I'm not sure you're going to see nearly as many new reveals as we would normally see this time of the year.

Don't think so, Zatanna got made not once but twice. True equivalent wouldn't get made at all, probably.

Agree but I think it is still in stock and I'm guessing SSC is kicking themselves for making it. I think they probably thought the Black Widow movie was really going to make the character desirable.

So I take it we won’t see a variant this go-around. Maybe for Spook then.

The old Sideshow died years ago

No, no variant this time. Not even sure with Spook.

If Tom Gilliland would just announce Exraile "The Traitor Angel" Premium Format for spooktacular I'd not complain again, I mean Tom created the property, Tom got this character Tattooed on his body and Tom is the Head of Creative at sideshow, and Exraile is an incredible looking character and among the most requested statues from the COTD, or was until they stopped promoting the line, come on Tom make this happen so I can quit posting comments about it

The Probe Droid PF was a huge surprise for me. Really pleased about that.

TH Joker Maquette looks fantastic as well.

Looks badass, surprised this hasn't been done yet.
