I'm not sure why some are surprised by the price.....it's XM. Their stuff is more expensive than other companies. Their 1/4 statues tend to be around $800'ish, so $400 for 1/6 isn't a shock. They make higher quality stuff, and I'm not talking about artistic design choices.

Plus, look at this in comparison to something like the Tweeterhead Super Powers line (which for the record, I think is good.) This Joker is A LOT more intricate/detailed than any of those.

I think the price is kind of fair for what you're getting, but at the same time...I don't think I can justify spending that much for 1/6th scale statue.

I was thinking of ordering directly from XM for $373 prestige price...but shipping would be $115.

Spec Fiction here I come!!!

Shipping costs $117 to ship to US if you order directly from XM....but American stores ship much much cheaper.

Edit: also, they will be making a total of 2000 Tweeterhead Jokers while here it will definitely be less.

I agree 100% with you. I take nothing away from the Tweeterhead Joker if you want simple and Classic...but I don't want SIMPLE....I want dynamic or something close to thereof.

People are acting like Tweeterhead Joker is only $200 or something. Last I checked, after taxes and shipping...it comes out to about $340. XM much more highly detailed (with light up effects to boot) for $50 more. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

I'm a huge XM fanboy and I prefer the Tweeterhead Joker. For the rest though It's XM all the way.

Perfectly reasonable comment...but this overexaggeration of price relative to one another for what you get is way off base I feel.

I get it some like more simple posed stuff. It just so happens the Tweeterhead one is a winner and a cool pose as well. IN fact, if XM wasn't doing these DC 1/6 statues...I would probably be in for most of the Tweeterhead line. I just know what's coming from XM with this line...and its like so much more exciting IMO.

That is reasonable. I keep wondering about final pricing on Sif.
