I thought the same, but if you look at this picture she's still got quite a lot going off.

Shades, neck chain, holster straps for the rear guns, open shirt with that sexy bra, Gauze type Ammo holder with ammo, huge strap for gun, laced elbow supports, laced boots, gloves, oh yeah and that big f**k off gun

I'm doubting my renewal of my Guild membership. Seems the Guild membership will only be worth it if there is an exclusive for SDCC you want to order. Other than that I'm not seeing the value anymore. I think the prices would digest a little better if GG would offer flex payments to Guild members, now that would keep me happy.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day. With little to no incentive to order direct anymore only the Con exclusive are really left to entice us.

Yeah she is a bit more detailed than I thought as well, I think once a few of my pre orders are shipped and this is still available from spec I will possibly bite, but definitely the only one I am getting unfortunately

Although if they give the Honey Trap line a 3000 ES then there goes that theory

IMO the quality were seeing in the mass produced statues that are in $350-$400 price range is mediocre at best. So for me to spend extra $100-$200 more for a high quality piece its defiantly worth it to me.

I wish I had Spazzy's talent, then I would repaint 3/4 of my SS collection

This was exactly the reason I pre-ordered Whisper and Derby, as I could justify the price with a low edition size. I've since cancelled my orders mainly due to placing a greater value in another line. I sincerely hope that there is a low run for all those that have the statues on order.

Thanks for the hi rez pictures!!

I have a minor tech issue with the statue.....the hair 'draped' down her face! The two strands on the front of her head are ok, I guess, but the one near her right ear tracks down her face and follows her jaw line down to her neck!!!! This ends up looking like running fluid rather than hair.....

To me it looks as if her hair is wet and stuck to her face. Either way I see your point.

The sad part is a lot of folks will never get to own or see this line in person. I can't help but think the smart move would have been offering one of the 1st releases, or even Lucky at an affordable price to get people into this line. They have the Man Thing at a special price, which I'll be passing on. I'll never understand the super secret of GG Edition sizes.

I hear ya. It's pretty ridiculous. Not sure why it takes them so long to figure them out and relay that info to the collecting community.
