No, it’s 1/4.

I think the Iron Studios Hulk is quoted at 1/4 but is surely too big to be 1/4

Thinking EXACTLY the same thing! Firmly believe there’s a ceiling price for statues around $800-$1k US aftermarket and only certain special peices command higher prices than that. With SS’s huge edition sizes of late I think that theory is further ratified.

Wait I will and disappointed I won’t be if I miss out because the asking price is what it is now....

Liking the sculpt or not is subjective but the Iron Studios piece is $100 cheaper.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think SS aren’t just well out of order on the price, I think they’ve well and truly jumped the shark here... and that’s before you consider QC questionability - but, to be fair, let’s assume this will not just be good but downright perfect... it’s still insane $’s!

Let’s hope for some good pricing aftermarket, just such a lloooooonnnnggg wait for that though.

People either don't realise they're getting something similar to the Skaar PF for $1400 or they just don't care.

I would buy that Iron Studios Hulk if it would not have that missile.

Overall I like this Gladator Hulk more than the Juggernaut. If I had to choose and I would pay that kind of $$$ I would prefer the GH.

Just not worth it to get the Exclusive for this piece.

If this gets priced the same as Juggernaut did over at Popcultcha, it’ll be $2,000 AUD, with only 5% early preorder discount (rather than the usual 10%). And if you have the usual 10% discount you could stack the discounts and get it for $1,710 AUD shipped.

To get the Exclusive direct from Sideshow with a minimum of $200 USD shipping (probably more given current Sideshow shipping costs), would be a minimum of $2,600-$2,700 AUD to get this in hand ((1390+200)*1.15?(GST+duties)/0.70). Just not worth it, for essentially a 60% premium.

Good point. Popcultcha 100% the way to go if you don't need the ex. Although I've got 3 PO's with Sideshow because I had to get the exclusive (Magneto, X-23, and Thor).

A lot of people still has money. They won’t even think about not buying till prices gets closer to 1500-2000.00 for a pf. That’s the spot that will get some to think it over. There’s a lot of collectors who can’t give up because they already have so much and must have the next hot piece. But if it’s a 1:3 people will pay 2.5-3k for it with no problems.
