Shipping costs are going to vary based on where you live... The only reason I called you out was because your were implying that XM was greedy, when the fact is they can't control the shipping costs.

Whether or not the statue is worth the price + shipping is up to each person but I don't think you can call out a company for something they really don't have control over.
Wasn’t adding or including shipping, only comparing listed prices, not sure why your going on and on about shipping. And only 55$ more is a circumstance (only for those who’ve bought 3 or more statues from xm) a benefit most u.s buyers likely won’t have. And if you really believe xm aren’t or wouldn’t try to maximize profit then i have a bridge to sell you.

None of these companies are so noble to be exempt from wanting xtra my good man, its just business.

If your going to get into this line buying 3 statues from XM is nothing given how many they're probably going to make. Gives you nice savings (save up to $100 on Harley alone) plus if you do have something wrong with your statue you get to deal with XM Directly.

As far as comparing the two Harley's, XM's is far more detailed then TH's... As for the portraits, TH's is not perfect, their Harley looks like she has bad fitting dentures on... There is no bottom teeth and you can just barely see the top teeth even though her mouth is wide open... Plus there is also the possibility of leaning that some people have already reported.. It's probably why you can find TH's Harley fairly cheap along with her pups..

People just see 1/6 and they think can´t cost much. But look alone at XM Harley Quinns base! I mean if you take the cost for concept, sculpt, print, painting, producing, artist, factory........ you could produce 3x normal 1/6 statues just from the cost of this one Harley Quinn base.

I completely agree. So much work on Bud and Lou and the base. All work deserves pay
Ukshaun made a relevant comparison with the SS Jean... Yes, it's 1/4, and what? Near 600 $ for a very simplistic sculpt and an nearly unexistant base.

My only concern is about the portrait. As Crimsin and Generalzod mentioned it, there are too many things trying to happen at the same time on this face.

Fair enough. However i will disagree about TH harley having no bottom teeth, i see bottom teeth.



And its funny that you should mention the lack of bottom teeth as thats precisely one of the things wrong with xm’s portrait (no bottom teeth) but you didn’t mention that about xm’s portrait. And the way her tongue is partially hanging out of her mouth is unusual, given her expression her tongue should be more so in her mouth like TH harley.

Also I see no issue with 1/6 Lobo’s price given the size and detail.

Not a huge fan of either but if i had to choose between TH harley with bud and lou or XM i'd go with TH. I like TH body sculpt and portrait more.

Best harley ever made imo is P1
