You can order Death by herself, minus switch outs, as said.
Thx C! Fixed!

Very few statues hold value anymore... They used to when they cost half as much...

My advice, think long and hard before purchasing a statue, make sure it's something you want to keep for a very long time and don't get caught up in the hype of new statue releases, there's usually plenty of time to think about it before it's sold out, usually years in SS case...

What's kind of funny is that by following the facebook groups, it appears that fan art statues actually hold their value much better than licensed statues. Is that possible?

It's possible. The editions sizes are usually very small.

very possible with the SUPER low ES fan art has for the majority, i mean 50-100 ES is fairly common, more so on the 50 side

I just saw this pic on Facebook. I have to be honest this is when detailing becomes too much. The detailing on the chest/shoulder plate is a matter of preference. It’s a bit too much for me but other like it. However, this just doesn’t work. Not sure if it’s supposed to be neck muscles but they come off looking like Thanos has gills and is an aquatic beast.

The Glove seems a bit over detailed to me too. They seem to be adding in details in some places just for the sake of details.

I for one MUCH prefer this version (with Death) vs this 'classic' version:



But to each their own.

I’d rather have one fantastic statue than three mediocre‘s this piece in my opinion is epic as far as the detail goes well in my opinion you can never have too much detail for me there is no such thing the more detail the better it is
Even though I the exclusive on this will cost you a lot more but at least you’re given the option to obtain it and not be left out ......only factor here is do you have the money for it ? But like I said I’d rather have One epic Piece than three mediocre statues.I guess it’s all relative
