Many reasons, but here goes. I was going to get all three ladies against my better judgement because they're all in the same pose with the same base, which is a lazy cop-out. But, I bought her anyway thinking I'd get the others.

Then she came with a broken piece on her base. Sideshow and Secret Compass apparently couldn't get a replacement even though she was still in stock. At that point, I should have just returned her, but I didn't. Then about a month ago as I was packing her back up to sell her damaged, both of the earrings on the masked portrait broke off because they're so cheap. Now, I'll probably have to give her away for free because of the three damaged little pieces.

No regrets, I'm usually very very very picky when it comes to a purchase.

My only Regret is that I didn't buy Sideshow's Rogue when she first came out. I wasn't a statue collector at that point, so I missed out on the Exclusive.

I have the Brooks 1/5 Black Cat and I still think that is the best one. Not sure if that Audrey piece is the figure or the statue but I love the statue personally. No issues with the pupils on mine but the necklace does look very plasticky Barbie toy like. Doesn?t really bother me though.

Didn?t buy any pieces I regretted this year, but sold one I hated for practicality nothing. The DST Premier Electra. Man I hated that statue.

I regret buying Iron Spider but only because a much better and more expensive opportunity has come along and I do not need to waste money on both.

Dude, that is so tough. I?m so sorry that?s what happened. Thank you for sharing. I?m sure it can still sell. There seems to always be someone who is willing to grab a piece like that if all the conditions are right as well as the price.

Well if you are interested in the CE, I have it and I am selling it. Just pm me.

Because living with regret is never a good thing.

Interesting take on the Black Cat. I actually like the Chat Noir one that I believe it?s a 1/5th scale where she is running from Spidey?s web shooters. Just wish it were a 1/4 scale and the words were not at the base. But oh well. I did see the Mark Brooks once in real life and her portrait is stunning.

I never saw that DST Electra but I know the feeling of letting go of pieces for practically nothing. Seems like that with the way things are going these days this may happen more and more. Ugh. Let?s hope this pocket were in doesn?t last forever.
