I think this is best. Have a poll as to whether a character is deserving of a variant, ie exclusive. I would have no interest in an Iron fist but would in an Ironman chrome.

Wow, yeah, I couldn't buy a variant version of every HH release, either, especially since I'm not buying the HH regular line. I think 200 is a good number, too, but at the same time, I think the fanbase would be happy with a lower number, too, so if that's easier on dRod (and his bottom line), then why wouldn't you? Maybe I'm misunderstanding that part of it.

Ditto..

This is an expensive hobby so you have to be selective of what you buy. I'm already part of the Moore SF Club and it looks like I'm going to be committed to GG SW animated line....so I'm going to be stretched pretty thin to buy every HH piece.

Right now I looking forward to HH Ironman (+ possible exclusives) and any damn females.

guys, there will not be a forum variant of every piece. as an example, there are and will be no variants of:
hercules
captain america
namor
thor

I'm in the same boat. I own all the GG Clone Wars maquettes and plan on getting all the new releases for that line including the upcoming OT ones. I'm also in the Moore Statue club so that's another chunk of change right there. Then the Sideshow stuff...that's part of the reason I don't collect HH or Bowen.

Amen, bro! Unless they are chicks, then I want many variants of each!

Just do a drunken face Tony Starks removable head and it'll outsell the Sideshow one for sure.

First, I think it's cool to have the advertising for Statue Forum on the pieces so we can enlist some more folks to harass here.

Second, SDCC exclusives and others are offered to the public so I don't see a problem with 'em.

The SF Exclusives deal we have here is cool, in that if you stay in, you are guaranteed your numbers match on all pieces. Also, there were 200 originally scheduled to be made, so after our orders are filled, there's nothing wrong with offering the surplus to the general public.

I don't know to me, I would say in order to cut down on D-rod losing monies why not do a poll? Show the character on the website, see how many people want it... Then maybe make 50 - 75 extra for those who did not vote, but never go over 200 pieces total.
