I like that the bases are the same height and compliment one another. Something I wish TH had done with theirs.

Agreed, Flash is too muscular. They must have taken a page from TH.

Is this the first company to do all 7 in a large (1:4 or 1:3) scale?

Rambling thoughts:
These look amazing, but I've got real concerns on going in on this line.
Will they really do all 7: How long will it take, will low sales on some make them put off or cancel doing them all. The time frame to get all 7 will be many years given the fact they are doing other DC/Batman characters and their Marvel lineup. The more time that goes by the more chance for them not to finish or change direction.
My main concern is their commitment to low ES: Let's say I buy the 1st 4 or 5 and then miss the PO for the 5th. I'm Sh!t out of luck and why would I give thousands of $$$ to buy into a line when I can't be guaranteed to get every one?
When they start out with the big 3 at low ES, if feels like diminishing desire for the next 4. How many are buying just WW or Superman or Batman or the Trinity or are going for a Batman with Rogues collection etc...? If half of those are bought without the intention of getting all 7, then the market for rest gets smaller and smaller.

I know the logistics are complicated but it would be cool if somehow you could get some type of preferential treatment to buy the next character if you buy the one before that. At least then, you can be reasonably assured of getting all 7 if you want all 7. I know - easier said than done.

I'm sure it would be difficult, but it would be nice if they could figure it out. We don't yet know what the prices will be but with all 7 statues you're going to be paying a bare minimum of $12,000 all the way up to near $20,000 (with probable price increases over the next 5 years). For the vast majority of people that's a lot of financial commitment with no guarantee of getting them all.

It makes perfect sense - from a business perspective and also the fact that prices go up all the time - that the first ones will be much cheaper than the last one, that's a given so something to bear in mind. Also, if you've bought the first few, there's no way you don't know when the next one will go up for order. They won't be so limited that you won't get a chance to order

I wasn't contesting prices or price increases, just illustrating that the amount of money that will be spent is a lot for most people and at the same time having no guarantees of completion.
They've mentioned over and over that they will be small ES. Seems like it could be in the 150 ES range for each of the trinity so it will even be lower for the ones after that unless you believe that Martian Manhunter sells just as well as Batman.
You can totally miss a PO. If your retailer doesn't get their order in time then you are SOL. If you are busy when the PO goes up on your retailer site and is sells out quickly. I can think of many common and understandable ways you can miss a PO when something has a small ES.

Not that low. Jay has repeatedly said that he only needs 388 customers, so I'd expect an ES around that number.

Yes they're all things to bear in mind, there are considerations with any purchase so you need to decide if you want to go ahead. There are never guarantees with anything, much less collectibles
