After being wowed and thrilled by the unexpected reveal, I've gone back and taken a closer look at it. I compared it to the Hot Toys and to IS's 1/10 and I've found I've cooled on this one quite a bit.

Frankly, I think both the other figures have a better Olsen likeness than this, especially in 3/4 and profile views (all protos, of course, so who knows).

I still like the design, and will miss the impact of the larger scale, but I think I'd be happier sticking with the HT. Unless that likeness goes south in production the way Chadwick B's did a couple years back. Should have plenty of warning if that's the case, though.

If nothing more compelling comes along, I'll likely throw my expiring rewards points at one of the 1/10 SW's.

I'm just happy I'm over this one as it would have been another good chunk of dough I didn't need to drop, and it would have been a major headache finding room for the box(es).
And it keeps me on track, chugging along towards the off ramp with this hobby.
Only a stunning, traditional Gal Gadot WW could slow my roll now.

I have both of the newest available 1/6 from Hot Toys and the 1/10 from Iron Studios, and while there is an argument for the Hot Toys being better, the 1/10 production piece really did fall short of its original prototype.

So if the newer Wandavision versions follow suit nothing is guaranteed.

I like both this and the WandaVision 1:10 Halloween suit pieces.

Want to see production pieces for both.

What is up with that waist? Is this a comic version? Elizabeth Olsen does not have a waist like that, even with the suit.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

A little artistic licence? None of their pieces are 100% accurate like their upcoming black widow

I'm pretty disappointed with the price on this. Mando was $750 and this is $1025?

It can’t be a surprise though can it.

Their recent Captain America was $1,020 USD, and then the Falcon was $1,220 / $1,330 USD.


But I agree they’re all overpriced, but being the addict that I am I’m still getting two out of three of them.

With the price I was hoping this would light up, but that won’t prevent me from preordering this as I need this in my collection.

Unfortunately I can’t say the same for their Vision. The quality of it looks pretty similar to their 1/6 scale from AOU that I have, which I wasn’t all that impressed with.

Wow is this really a grand? Holy.... And here I thought XM was pushing the price point on 1/4 scale pieces.

It is very nice, I like it but can't see myself dropping that much for it.

Congrats to those picking it up, looks well done.

Yikes, for real. But like stated, they seem to be following the recent "increase" in everything model. Could be because of the state of the world and ease of getting materials? Could not be. Who knows. Maybe they are experiencing higher sales the past few years with having a US presence now, and decided they are popular enough to raise prices?

Seems to be the new trend with the new endgame cap and falcon cap all being over $1000.
