Re: Joker PF (updates first post)

Because SideShow is cheap,a PF cost then less than $100 to make.

It probably costs less than $50. I wouldn't be surprised if it cost less than $25.
Hourly wages in China= 8.5-14 Yuan. 10 Yuan= $1.57 per hour. How many hours do you think it takes to paint a PF? 9-10? $15.70 labor. How much do the materials cost? $3? Maybe $5? The rest is shipping and licensing.


I would really like to know how much it actually costs to make a PF, and what the profit margin on it is compared to a TV or a car, or an action figure, or on a house after it is built. Something tells me it is a really high margin, so SS will not be publicizing actual costs and comparisons.

I think there would be alot of $ spent in R and D, paying sculptors, concept artists, creative directors, the girl who answers the phones and everyone in between before Sideshow sees dollar number one from a statue.

If your argument is 'All it takes to make a PF is clay and fabric and Chinese feller' then you are an economic retard.

Re: Joker PF (updates first post)

Oh it's true man. I've seen this argument before; 'Sideshow are price gouging man! All it costs to make something is materials and some guy in China to paint it.' it's complete BS. If thats the case I'll take a lump of clay that I fashioned in to a statue of Thor(it could be confused for a huge pile of ____ but wotevs) round to my Chinese friend's house and get him to paint it! Then he can make a t-shirt for it out of a sock (costs the same as the material used for regular PFs right?) and I'll slap a $400 dollar price tag on it! People will be lining up to buy it! Sideshow'll be outta business within days! Days I tell you!

Picture of my PF that I made for like $23.75. I know people tend to freak out about early pictures but dont worry guys once you have this guy in hand he is a beast!

Everything is possible when it comes to SSC, I guess.

Re: Joker PF (updates first post)

I called them to see if I could get a ship date but she told me the only thing she had on the screen was August and no specific date.

Re: Joker PF (updates first post)

maybe they delayed Ex coz QC of Ex head

 

[brucecamblzchin]

Why would the EX head create special QC issues?

Why do they have QC issues at all? They really should never have them with the amount of money we pay, but yet they still do. It could be just about anything.

Perhaps they ran out of those fancy gold exclusive labels for the boxes.

Re: Joker PF (updates first post)

Or maybe the comedic "Quality Control Passed" stickers they put on them?

More of a "Joke" than "Joker".
