Statue Darkside Collectibles: Terminator 2 - T-800 on Motorcycle 1:4

[snoop101]

Yeah that price is outrageous.

 

[FDS]

I think they are taking the mick, pushing their luck to see how many do end up paying silly amounts. Sideshow 1/4 collectible you get for around $300 - $500, that awesome dam toys terminator was around $500. so why the hell is this soo much? ok $500 for Arnie, base with lights and a bike another $700 that's $1200. any more can't justify it. Ok so its got his signature? so did CM T800, Also SS T3 Art, but the didn't add an extra $1000. on top.

I think all the licensing might have hurt this some. Besides Arnie, you have Harley and who knows what else. Arnie's signature should have added $100 and I think it's going to be autosig anyway. I would have been more interested if this had been a T1 license. As it is, I just used the money I didn't spend on this to order the Iron Studios giant X-Men/Sentinel diorama, which incidentally was only $1699.

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

I was interested.....until the price was announced. **** that. For that ridiculous price, I expect Arnie himself at my front door handing me the box.

 

[xpl0sive]

These guys have never released anything before and they are charging that much for a 1/4 scale statue? Wow.

 

[a-dev]

Thank god I'm not a statue man. I would have been out if it was merely a grand.

 

[snoop101]

I would be very surprised if they sell even 10 of these.

 

[ironman24]

And the Arnold Schwarzenegger signature being a reprint and not a real personalized signature is absolutely insane in the description that make it sound like it's a real signature. Don't trust this company at all

 

[FDS]

I think the company is legit, just a bunch of amuters running it. They should hire me to correctly guide them, lol. On thee Facebook page they are justyfiing the price by saying that the price is due to the fact that no one in 30 years have made a arnie on a bike because its such a complicated difficult process and expensive. To which I thought that's a load of BS. Just look at prime studios or as making those transformers with soo much detail and so many more complex statues out there. Also looking at prices of CM, Queen studios stuff or even Prime 1 studios, makes them sound like a bargain. This company is just out to rip off any die hard collector. No need to rush and order this they will have this I stock all the time at that price.

Lol at the price so long Darkside enjoy your chat with Molecule 8

 

[csutkakoma]

What the? Are they insane? No way I will pay that much money for a piece like that. Especially cause they are totally unknown at this point. 2500euro? They lost their mind.

 

[FDS]

Lol that's what I said. Nearly fell off me chair!

I wonder if anyone has even placed an order yet for it. I know 1 so far, some dude from facebook.

 

[rjszar]

To their credit, they are standing tall and answering all the criticism. Some companies just blow off comments they don't like, but they are making an effort. Not sure their answers are worth a hill of beans. I asked them on Facebook if making the bike diecast would make more sense from a breakage point (all those little polystone pieces, yikes) and from a price point. They said they could have done that and then given it cheap clothing instead of full sculpt for half the cost, but then it would be a cheap toy instead of a work of art.

 

[burtial]

I could be wrong, but I just don't see this selling well...especially on the PO side. You're taking a big gamble on an unknown company without seeing what a production piece looks like. Plus it just looks off. Also, what Harley doesn't have chrome on it? Looks to me like it's all painted silver.

They keep saying that they are using the same production facilities as XM and Prime 1. The quality should be the same regardless if it's a start up company or not. Not a defense of them by any means though. Still a ridiculous price.

That's interesting. I thought P1 operated their own factory. Unless they have outsourced recently.

 

[Shoo]

Don't know about XM/Prime 1, they may have said so, but I did see them state they're using the same factories Cinemaquette/ECC do. Perhaps that's what you meant?

 

[FDS]

I would really like this, I just hope another company makes it at a more realistic price.

 

[rjszar]

These are some pictures from Dario Barbera's FB page. He's the one who painted it. I have some of his stuff and it's excellent. I doubt production pieces would match this, but he does look better there. I still can't pay that price though.
