I just wonder if LotR, as a license, is still relevant?

Have you ever looked at the pricing for 1/2 scales?
The ones from Prime 1 were at $2,000 to $2,100 when they went up for preorder in 2015/2016. So no way is it going to be any lower than that. Heck even Sideshows very compact Spider-Man was priced at $2K.
More recently Queens pricing on their 1/2 scales have been quite reasonable in my opinion. Their more recent Captain America was only priced at $2,115, and their Aquaman that I just received in hand was I believe $2,369.
The Aquaman is the closest match to this piece, and imo it’s probably more involved, so I expect a higher price.
It’s odd, but over the past 6 years collectors seem to have ‘accepted’ the 33.33% to 50% increase in the prices for 1/3 scales and 1/4 scales, but when it comes to 1/2 scales not so much. Heck these newer 1/2 scales are so much better than previous ones as they now have silicone, rooted hair and glass eyes. All of which can double the price over the standard polystone ones. Just look at JND, or any of Queens or Infinity’s life size busts over non silicone ones.
