Wonder Woman has the extra portrait and a lot more base. I think QS made the decision to keep the price low on this one to generate as many sales as possible. This could easily have an ES of 5000 or more.

For me, I love it and it will be a LONG time before we ever get another 1/4 ScarJo Black Widow (and I'm not counting Queen's soon to be introduced white version). I mean, who would even make one at this point? The only companies that even have a 1/4 scale MCU license appear to be Iron Studios and Queen and both are producing pieces now (after years of waiting). I guess SSC MAY have it too but I don't trust their movie pieces.

Do I have a few nitpicks? Sure. But this is pretty darn close and it will be a Day 1 PO for me. Also, I'm shocked at the price.

Is fine to be picky when this will be $1000 and more after import fees etc

And just because there might not be another statue for a while isn't a good reason to buy it

Personally I'll prob order the white version and pray that we get another piece one day

There has to be a market for scarjo

Well sure... there will always be licenses to get for popular characters.
Indy, Sellers Pink Panther, Legosi Dracula, LoTR, etc etc.

I agree.

We can be a persistently picky bunch. You'd think we would make our point and then shut up.....but here we are coming back again and again to kick the corpse and spoil it for those who love the piece.

Some of us are doing it because we're actually trying to decide if we want it or not. I think others just enjoy finding fault, it helps them justify not making the purchase - especially if others agree....and then there are the straight up trolls (IMHO the worst critics).

Or maybe, 60% of a good post sorry I can't help myself lol.

I'm strongly considering this piece. I get the cons everyone has brought up, but none of them really bother me much.

So this will likely total at or around $1K.

This would kill it for me. Spec was certainly the route I had planned to go.

If you truly like it then the trolls' opinions won't matter to you

It's when you know deep down that they have a point that it annoys you

That's why I like it when people point out their issues with a statue. It makes me look at it harder and maybe I'll see something that I didn't see on my initial look. If I'm in agreement with them, I have to evaluate if I'm OK with the problem before buying the piece. If I don't agree, and don't see a problem, then all the better and I can buy without worry.

I'd much rather see all the potential points of annoyance with a piece now then after I've spent $1000 and can't unsee a problem that bugs me every time I look at the statue.

This is especially helpful with pieces that I've been waiting eagerly for the reveal of, as I might have a more itchy trigger finger to buy it ASAP without as much consideration as to any problems the piece has.
