I think this one looks good next to my Daniel Bel Captain America.

As I have hypothesized before, they will not be doing exclusives with Premium Formats. Only with Maquettes. Which in turn would justify their 150 price point over PFs.
Does this make it easier for international buyers?

"Marvel Comics has a massive library of more than 7,000 characters—maybe more than 50,000 if you count one-off and ancillary superheroes, villains, and other mutants—and it seems keen to feature as many of them as possible on the big screen.Feb 16, 2018

If these numbers are accurate, It's interesting that I'm considering a 3rd Sideshow Black Widow? Amazing piece, and important MCU character, but do I need 3? I'll end up getting it, because it's a stunning piece, but 3? How about a MODOK? Or a Fin Fang Foom?

There has been a total of 5 Black Widows PFs and one 1:5 line.

I think he was counting just comic versions, not the MCU and white variant. There’s been 3 comic version Black Widow PFs.
I do the same. Some will say “there is a Loki PF already.” But it was MCU, and greatly cast as he was/is many of us can’t substitute a comic version for a movie version, so for us there’s no Loki PF because there’s no comic Loki PF.
As for variants in most cases they’re color swaps, not an all new statue. Which we know is the case with White Black Widow.
Both of y’all are right though.

To clarify, when I said I'm considering a third, I didn't mean Sideshow only made three. I have two, and this recent offering is a temptation. If I buy it, I will have three Sideshow Black Widow statues.

Oh well that’s just a personal decision lol. How much do you like the character, how much do you feel you need of the character, how much space do you want to give to her, etc.
I have like 7 or 8 Peter Parker’s in 1/4, not to mention a few of him in other scales ranging from Bowen to 1/3. I recently talked about this in the Gambit thread…I have 2 of him, 3 Storms, 2 Black Panthers, 2 Colossus, 2 Psylockes, 3 Legend of Zelda Links…I don’t mind multiples, just depends on what purpose they serve to me.

My whole point was to express frustration with hyper focusing on a relatively small number of characters. I understand and sympathize with the financial risks arguments. I probably wouldn't bet the family farm on a list of less popular characters going gangbusters and flying off the shelves. So again, I get it. It's just a little boring. For me, artistry and diversity is the priority. I used MODOK and Fin Fang Foom as examples of opportunities to get outside the classical human form.

Here is an unboxing video from SS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Qsr-HYi8E
Looks complicated... I love the video how it shows black spidey with their black background.
