Prime 1: Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter)

[NorthernLadMSP]

Neck is too long, head is too small, likeness isn't there and this is way too expensive for such a basic design.

[AlexLothos]

Although the likeness isn't perfect, this is still a really good sculpt. My changes would be cosmetic with the paint: Brighten the blue in her eyes and darken her hair from brown to black.

$800-$900 I would have honestly been very tempted, despite having some serious reservation/disappointment with aspects of the likeness.

$1200 is good for a laugh and an eye roll, and helps steel my resolve to exit this hobby after my last several POs come in.

A large LC WW had absolutely been on my "if you could have anything" wish-list too, but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm with you on this. These companies seem to be watching each others pricing, and thinking, because JND is charging $2k they can as well.

They're changing their pricing, but not the value proposition in the statues themselves.

I won't be quitting the hobby, but I'll be putting my money in very specific pieces.

My guess is, many of these laughable products will be sitting on the shelf, and be available at seriously heavy discounts in the future.

I bought my last P1 piece a little while ago, at more than 33% reduced, and it was a piece that was (literally) sitting in their inventory for YEARS........I just pity the poor saps who paid the original retail asking price.

But if you only consider the torso, the size of the head looks ok...

This was the same issue with the 1/3 Justice League WW, legs too long

[BurningRage]

Guess the torso is pvc. Could’ve done a switch out torso with a bust stand.

You nailed it right there. While price and cost have nothing to do with each other, price and value do. I think these statue companies are forgetting that price and value should be correlated, but when you compare their products against their respective prices, there’s a glaring disconnect. A good example is what pdenham mentioned about the LC WW and that chick from GOT.

The Prime 1 piece appears to feature a longer neck.
The earrings/ears should be lowered slightly (too lower nostril level) on the Prime 1 piece.
Prime 1 should possibly darken her hair. The black hair, blue eye combo appears to be absent.
The Prime 1 gold tiara could use some tweaking, both in shape and color (cheap chrome gold would be perfect)
Got effort from Prime 1. The price has priced me out.

The neck is too long, but other than that it looks good. I was hoping for $1000, but I’m buying this for my mom so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and get this.

It would have been my first Prime 1 Statue... but not for $1300... I was expecting a 800/900 price.... Besides, they only gave us 6 installments rather than 8 or 9.... It gives you an idea of what the new predator will cost with all the details and lighting... I will be surprised if it is less than $2500
