I like gamingheads but I wouldn't even compare their quality to PCS....also if you look at their last 1/4 piece it was still 480 bucks with a bigger Es.

The only 1/4 comparison for tmnt is the movie versions from prime 1 and they clock in at 600 a piece and like others have said there's no other cartoon type 1/4 tmnt being done...

You're right!

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

it is but the one popculture is selling isnt worth no 500 dollars. for that ill stick with trying to get prime one 90's movies turtles or even neca's 1/4 turtles are way better priced than that. or ill just hold off and wait till the statues come out because im sure it will be much lower than the original priced, just like most of popculture statues dont hold their value. i just dont see the need to waste money like that, learned my lesson with blanka statues. over 350 a statue and seen one go for 177 on ebay. or even some of the masters of the universe statues which sold for 350 to 360 and only go for 200 something. no way will those statues command 500 dollars.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Same goes with those 1/3 SF statues from what I've been seeing.

Maybe just waiting for these to actually come out is best.

$500 is too much for me personally, but some of us don't like the movie designs. if I wasn't a hobo i'd love to have a set of well done original cartoon turtles.

The Bandai figuarts figures have better likenesses than the statues from both.

yep i had the 1:3 ryu and 1:3 scorpion both sold for less on ebay than what i originally bought from pcs. same went for robobcop ex. and the mixed media he-man doesnt sell for original order price on ebay. noticed some sideshow statues are doing the same. original order prices dont hold their value. many street fighter and mortal kombat statues dont even sell on ebay. old bowen statues dont even sell anymore close to their original purchase price. have old hulk statues that seems like no one wants at least the hulk premium format from sideshow still commands close to what i paid for it even tho its a little less.
