Statues You are Looking Forward to

[Black Cat]

Does anyone else go in and out of phases? Like right now I'm all excited to order Storm but I'm also looking at things to cancel cause I just don't want them now.

Yes, especially with a lot of delays it piles up and despite having tons of pre orders feels like waiting occupies most of the time. Sometimes I just step away and enjoy other hobbies like going to a concert, a local match, hiking, traveling. When I focus on the countdown that has no firm end date it can cause vacillations in my excitement.

For example, I am really excited about Prime 1 Artgerm line, but I've waiting well over a year past for Mera's release (2nd in the series) so staying pumped about Wonder Woman and Black Canary can be tough when I'm expecting a knock on effect of them slipping from 2022 to 2023 (or even 2024).

Oh wow, I didn't realize she has been delayed that long.

I think we all do. We're always growing and changing as people and our differing perspective tends to bleed into our collections. External factors play a big part, too. If a company cancels or drags their feet on a line you're collecting... if new pieces in a line don't mesh with your sensibilities... increasing prices, shipping, taxes, etc. Tons of things play a part in changing our collecting focus or direction.

sometimes the excitement you get when they first reveal the statue start the fade out more and more as the times goes by, at a point you just dont care as much.

So far I've been pretty good about always keeping interest, and I've had some LONG ass wait times. I did go through a selling phase last year though, selling pieces, more to focus my collection, than actually growing tired of the pieces, but I guess the net result for all of these scenarios is the same... fewer pieces.

Good to hear I'm not the only one.

There was one piece a couple years ago that made me want to completely change my focus to a more fantasy/warrior type of collection and that was the XM Thor from Caleb Nefzen. It would have been an amazing piece but it got cancelled because of Disney being a bunch of tools.

im honestly looking forward to everything i have on order but probably the most excited about the custom stuff in the works. ive been getting into more and more custom pieces, either stuff i make myself or fan art. i guess at this stage im starting to feel the fatigue of these companies doing the same character over and over that i already have, especially ones i have multiple versions of
