When was the last time Prime 1 had a 1/3 scale statue retail at $800 USD? I’ve been buying Prime 1 pieces for 6 years now and I think the lowest that an Ex has been priced at is at least $899.99 USD. And that was 6 years ago, though more recently they have had a piece here and there priced at that level but they’ve been rare.

Even a few years ago the lowest pricing for most 1/3 scales have been around $1,049, and more recently $1,200 has been the going price.

Wow, so much negativity! She looks stunning in the new in-hand video! The promotional pictures don't do it justice. Order placed!

It looks good in the new video it just doesn't look as much like Linda Carter as it should. They need to tweak the sculpt a bit more, reduce the height of the tiara, and shorten the length of the next as has been pointed out.

Yup was coming here to say that! Those promotional pictures are not great at all. Is it 100% now? No. But it is much closer. Probably going to order this.

Looks very good in video. I've been saving my reward points for something good and this will do nicely, so I hope SS sells this.

I think this will be a sleeper hit, watch people go nuts when it goes to waitlist. As for the price, not sure why the complaints, 1/3 prime are pretty much always in this ballpark recently.

Maybe because the figure itself is simple and the base it is on it's quite minimalist.

The JL WW was on a ginormous base, had a fabric element, and had a switch out upper body complete with a second portrait...all priced the same as this.

That represents a downscaling in value, far outpacing any cost of inflation.

If someone thinks the value is there for them with this piece, good for them I guess.

I also agree that people will probably be surprised with how quickly this sells out. I'm sure it will have a lower ES, and I think there is pent up demand for this property in a decent larger scale which no one has filled yet.
