Now I?m paying $1500.and like you wish it was back to $1000..OH boy how times have changed..

Yeah, part of why I want certain characters made now is I know in 5-10 years 1:3 will only be more and I'll be trying to justify $2K on a 1:3 Power Girl in 2028.

I did however order mine, (not from SS) got it for $1625 including shipping. Which these days for a larger piece could easily be over $200. That plus no Tax was a win in my book.
Only reason I caved was do to how good she looks with the Joker..Had him ordered day one.
He just didn?t feel complete to me without her.
Especially after seeing them together at SDCC, which was the final straw that broke the camels back.

Ditto. $100 off for getting both through Prime 1 helps soften the blow very slightly too at least.

I even signed up for a trial of the DC digital comics platform to read some Punchline stuff to familiarize myself with her, and I honestly wasn?t too impressed. Still a cool design, at least, and it seems like she?s popular enough to potentially have some staying power.

That’s the other thing..worst Case scenario she is a bust and has no staying power..then we will have what could be the only Statue of her made..so for a completist she will be hunted down..that’s a Win for us..Best case she becomes the next Harley..Win Again as it’s the First Statue of her made. Again it’s someone who wants to get that elusive Punchline they missed out on..Win again..

And for that one were neither of those scenarios play out and it’s just another Batman character that gets overhyped, overused or underutilized ..Well we have one hell of a Statue of her no matter what..Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Augen, I?m afraid I?m just about out of the 1/3 scale game now. The prices are just too much for me to justify. Punchline will exceed $2,000 for me after shipping and taxes. This means that the Hush Catwoman will be even more expensive by the time she is released. It sucks I?ll have to pass on her too.

It’s a shame really as this Punchline statue is magnificent.

So the Bonus edition is already waitlisted at Sideshow so it seems that many collectors are still willing to pay the ever escalating prices and this one will certainly be a record breaker as far as shipping costs go.

Also, Lets not forget this is limited to 500 Es and Sideshow got this months after initial pre-order, so who knows how many they even started with.

Yeah, love this statue but can't justify the cost here, especially since the character might not have much of a presence going forward.

Really is a shame because this is exactly the statue I would want of her, but not at this size and price.

Punchline is out. Wow impressive quality and the production time is really fast I would say. Source from the collector Jehutyuri in China.

Looks great.

Punchline is #2 (behind Zee) on my comic list, so I?m tempted to get this. But the cost is keeping me away (for now).

Excellent piece. I wish they had made a larger ES as I fear she'll sell out before being offered at any discount.
