The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Look at tweeters Catwoman Julie Newmar statue, they re-release just a few weeks ago. If the company can milk it, they would. Ssc has already done this many times over.

Oh, I maybe complaining about the price but I can afford it lol.
I know you can. Maybe that's why doubling or tripling the price of any of those pieces doesn't seem to make a difference in demand. Lol

Now what thanos did show is rhat if someone makes a kick ass piece, it doesn't matter who makes it or how much it costs, people are going to buy it.

Cough, Sabertooth, cough cough.

Though they somehow managed both a clothed and fully sculpted version that nobody wanted in that case.

But if they ever did that, I will stop buying from them.
Sabertooth was reissue pretty much with a barely there variance.

I have the fully Sculpted and honestly it's way underrated. I love that thing.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Gotta say...seeing them side by side, Thanos looks pretty slick. Saying this may be sacrilege but the other two look clunky. Probably because they have so much going on.

I knew it would sell out but I'm still kind of surprised at the speed it happened with that price. I guess there are either a lot of Thanos fans or characters on throne fans...

I hope Sideshow doesn't get the idea to test this again with the possible Vampirella on throne...

No. I fear that Sideshow now will know us collectors are willing to fork out $1k+ statues
