Aesthetic. Just a personal preference.

Gotcha.

I was going back through the Cap thread the other day and I noticed you said you'd put an order in for that last year.
Did you change your mind on it?

Are you considering Thor? Or does the cape kill it?

how is it that so many already have this on PO? All from Spec or what?

I did order Cap, but ended up canceling it because I had no space for it. I’m very tempted to order Thor, but again, nowhere to put it.

If they end up adding the clean shaven/no helmet head that would be great, but mainly I hope they clean up the hairline on that head either way.

I'm with you on the cape. My preference would have been for the cape not to billow so much.

I think it would have worked better if his hair was also flowing the same way. They have the cape flowing to the right but in two portraits the hair flows the opposite direction and the third portrait doesn't have the hair flowing at all.

Was going to order on Spec but I guess you need a password of some kind. Went through every newsletter emails I have and couldn’t find anything. Does that mean they are already sold out? I have only ordered XM Aquaman and Mera so far and never had this issue. Hope it doesn’t sell out before I can find one.

Does anyone know the measurements on this?

I would sign up for the RSVP notice for the statue on the Spec Fic site.

He'll still have some available come Wednesday. I seriously doubt he'll even blow through his entire allocation in that 24 hours and not be able to secure at least a few more if he needs to.

Obviously you wouldn't want to wait too long if you really want it- but Cap PO'd under much different circumstances (the enthusiasm for the final movie opening soon, the perception of value with all the display options, low unemployment/no pandemic insecurity).

OTOH I have to wonder if Thor would have more international appeal, and be likely to move more units outside the US compared to CA?

I do remember thinking I was going to wait until my billing cycle flipped over in a few days before I ordered that one and within hours of it going up I already had the feeling that wouldn't be possible.
