Not bad, at least he still has the trenchcoat...it would be true heresy if he lost that.

ITA, Peedi. SS should not even try to best the XM. Just make a solid Storm statue and let it stand on it's own. I feel that Gambit's current is close enough that a modern Storm would work with the line.

At this point I just want a sneak that she's being worked on.

6000 units total is ridiculous. mass production = less desirable. if this was 2000 units it would've been an instant sell out. but now their warehouse will hold this bulk stock and be on black friday clearance.

people want limited and rare statues and this goes for any commodity that gets collected- sneakers, clothes, comics, baseball cards, etc etc.

It does seem quite excessive. Not new for SS though. They did the same thing with the original Trinity PFs.

I mean, I guess it worked out for them, considering they sold all of them aside from the Wonder Woman Collector's version. Doesn't work out great for collectors though. Those original pieces aren't worth very much, especially considering new PFs have replaced them on the market.

People should just be prepared for this Gambit to
1. stay in stock for a while
2. Buy it only if you like the character/sculpt/some combination of both
3. don’t hold out hope for it to be worth more on the aftermarket
4. Wait and see if you can get one cheaper down the line if that’s your thing
5. Expect that it will still be a great looking piece regardless of how many were made and how much it might be worth later

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

I hope the production piece will be as good if not even better than their Rogue Maquette Masterpiece.

I committed to a payment plan for this last month because I really like Gambit and think this statue looks awesome. I didn't really pay attention the edition sizes. This is gonna be really cool regardless.
