Free shipping from Ent Earth yields quite a bit of a price difference, especially for statues that don't have switch-out parts.

was not aware that Ent Earth had free shipping

Other than Ebay, I would normally order statues via my LCBS. Sometimes they were able to give me a discount but sometimes they were not. They said it depended on where they got the statues from that would determine if they were able to provide a discount.

This seems like my only hope.

Hopefully, Tweeterhead's audience grows so something like that is possible. Bowen was able to push some pretty obscure characters out (not that I followed why he closed shop to say whether or not that was successful).

It's not like I'm asking for Ambush Bug and Nocturna here. OK, I'm also asking for Ambush Bug. But, I'll never beg for Colan's Dala and the Monk.

Oh yeah, I've only watched 3 of the Facebook videos and you can tell his love for this era is unmistakable. It would not surprise me to see 99% of the characters from the Super Powers roll call getting made.

I don't know about the Outsiders, but as long as TH has the license anything's possible. I'd love to get a Vixen statue someday.

Ambush Bug would be awesome, in theory. Not willing to spend $250+ on that character. If they had a promotion where you buy X amount of statues to get Ambush Bug for free, or at a very steep discount, I'd be interested.

well I am sure we would get a Black Lightning and Metamorpho at some point since they are from that era. I would not be surprised at some point in time that we would see the Outsiders. They debuted in 1983 and I would think that would be within the Super Powers era or time frame.

I think Chad just remarked that he didn't think there was a very big demand for the Perez version of Zatanna.

I would need to know the context in which he made that remark, if indeed he made it.

I think he said he'd like to make the classic version, although he has stated that it is not his favourite version of her. See below from post 66 in this thread:

A: I’d love to make that version as well as the classic top hat version.

Yeah, I checked where I order from before I started ordering direct to see if they regularly discounted TH statues. It did not seem like they did (even though now that I think of it, I did order the Classic Joker through them and it must have been discounted). This month, Catwoman was 20% off and I wouldn't have paid any additional shipping cost. Ouch. That just made that EX Garcia-Lopez art REALLY expensive. I do really like Garcia-Lopez, though.

Thanks grphyx.

I guess I would be slightly worried then.

Perez Zatanna has my vote if there's another poll. The characters that I wanted will be made eventually and if not, so what. I don't mind either way but I like the uniqueness of this line and making the fishnet top hat version would be doing what everybody else has done.
