Conventional wisdom is, give collectibles like these 5 years at least, but in the case of this hobby I'd settle for 5 months.

I mean, I'm only worried about this piece's "value" because I've been trying to get one and coming up short for anyone accepting less than the crazy $800-$1100 being asked for for Carol on eBay now. If everyone wanted to dump theirs because it hasn't doubled in value immediately, I'd be thrilled. LOL.
This particular statue seems to be a surprise smash hit, so I don't see the harm in discussing how it's faring on the aftermarket for those still looking for a Carol EX of their own.
