Is it worth it at this price, or do you think it will end up on a crazy sale like the 1/3 deluxe statue?
Thanks

They only made 200 so I highly doubt any sale on this.

Thanks!
Very tempted to pull the trigger!

Sorry, thought you were referring to the CH Bust.

Ahh…so do you still feel that the Jungle Hunter bust is worth it at this price?

It is waitlisted, there will be no sale. Learn to research eBay.

I don’t trust eBay, and prefer to get educated opinions from here.

If your Prime 1 waitlist converted, that's the cheapest you'll ever find it. You just have to decide if it's worth it to you

Price-wise, I think these busts cost $100-200 more than they need to, but I'm a diehard and will pay for the best intersection of accuracy and finish, which I believe these to be.

Expression-wise, I think it's the best closed-mouth sculpt we've ever gotten, but after getting it in-hand, I found I prefer the other portraits on both the bust and statue so I sold mine. I'm probably in the minority with that preference, your mileage may vary.

It's far too expensive but if you have the statue you need the closed mouth bust imo.

I haven't put any other portraits on my statue, closed mouth all the way.

It is overpriced even at Prime 1's retail price but it regularly sells for over 1.2K+ on eBay. It will never be on sale from Prime 1 because they have more than enough on the waitlist to claim any stock that may remain.

Why not? eBay is safer than most other sites.
