Even though he is massive.. $1k for a 1/4 scale is a tough pill to swallow.
Agreed. I have been interested in this peice and was planning on ordering but the price has surprised me enough to reconsider. I’m thinking I’ll likely pass now.

Also when considering size, make sure you look at the right “scale image”. There are 2 images on SS site that are WWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY off.......

Yup space and money. Just moved to a new house and don’t have as much space as before. And my job now is a little bit lower-Paying so I need to be picky with pre orders from here on out.

On one hand Jurassic Park is iconic and one of my favorite movies ever, and the half of the diorama is insane. But then again thanos wasn’t portrayed to perfection in the movie and I don’t think we will ever see a better representation of him on screen.

Decisions, decisions...

Them fighting words.

But with limited space it'll probably be best for you to go with Jurassic Park, as that is a film which has stood the test of time. And while Infinity War is my favourite and most enjoyable MCU film, it's not the 'best' in the series imo, and only time will tell if people feel the same about it in the years to come.

This piece is fairly massive for a 1/4 scale piece in height (28.5") and for its sheer physical for the figure itself, and is being priced at what is Prime 1's standard for their 'basic' 1/3 scale pieces.

Though slightly smaller than those Arkham pieces, I don't think the price is too bad, once you add the usual mark ups that some movie and Iron Studio pieces seem to receive.

And come on, this is THANOS!

At least it's not Doomsday money. It's still pretty much 20% cheaper than that particular piece.

And still cheaper than Thanos on Throne, at its retail and especially it's aftermarket prices.

I was hoping that's what you meant and what had occurred.

But you never know.....

I def expect P1 1/3 and Bust to be 1K+, if their 1/4 scales are 1K I will be passing on them.

But Predator is also higher on my list than movie Thanos.

Congrats to everyone that is purchasing it though, I'm sure it will look great in your collections.
