As I mentioned before, the legality of that trademark is dubious. A legal challenge could be made that a character name from a public domain work of fiction can not be trademarked. But a legal challenge costs money, and no one has yet made that challenge against the estate.
I’m only guessing, but I suspect the estate threatened to sue, and Sideshow figured the name is meaningless at this point. Everyone knows the Martian princess is Dejah Thoris.
As for the price, isn’t it less than the going rate for a PF these days?

Yeah tbh I was kinda surprised when I saw the price, and in a good way. I'm just hoping that considering the price is reasonable that they don't use a cheap factory and the piece ends up trashy.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I agree with what you say, and yeah $550 for this is great if it turns out good, I was expecting $800

Uh because it's a killer almost nude statue with a lot of detail and its sideshow, and most people expected more, go read the comments from when the price was announced, I just threw a random number out there really, but hey if that made you Lmao, then good for you

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

There is a lot to like about Martian Princess aka Dejah Thoris.
Besides the obvious beautiful design, which isn't covered up, Dejah's price is very reasonable for a PF.
It's only 14 inch Tall, which means it's will be easier to find a place to display it.
The Base is large and has a nice design on it. (There is zero chance of any kind of support issue down the road.)
The fact they included a weapon, the revolver, to show that Dejah is not only beautiful, but dangerous.
Will Harbottle is a fan of John Carter, he made sure to add in the finer details, like Dejah's Martain jewelry and her crown.
And Of course, my favorite aspect of the statue, is Dejah's aloof face, showing she is a queen who is in charge.

$200 is reasonable, $550 is because we are suckers.

I'm surprised the edition size is that high. Thought it would be lower.... based on nothing but my own assumptions.

Showed it to my wife already and she doesn't have any issues with it being in the house.
Edit: Just ordered with a $20 off code that SS sent me.
