Statue Sideshow Hulk vs Wolverine Dio - 1/5 Scale

[lucifixion]

Agreed. If the Voltron maquette, which isn't very large, can be $1,250, I don't see how anyone would think this would be less than $1,00. It might be, and I hope it is, but I hope no one is surprised if it's not.

This dio will be a beautiful beast! Hulk looks bulked to the hilt, & Wolverine is in a classic lunging berserker mode pose. Perfect. With the great Martin Canale at the helm, I expect hyper details, showcasing tendon, muscle, & bone, & if the creative gods permit, blood(?). This will be an instant classic. Hoping for 100% sculpted, & reasonable price.

Conan Fury of the Beast was 500$ back then, but was considered already more than fair. Considering the different license (Marvel is more expensive) and price hikes of the last years, I'd say 700$.

Don't know, $1,000 is a lot; even for a dio. Maybe they're purposely labeling it Maquette to market it over $1,000.

Hoping it'll be around $750-850.

This piece was about 6 years in the making. If only it was released about 3 or 4 years ago. We'd probably have this for around $650 back then. Oh well, I'm just thrilled this is seeing the light of day. I'm POing this regardless. However, if the prices are really a G or more for future releases, I'm pretty sure I'll be one and done in the VS MAQ line. And that'll be OK for me because this is THE VS piece I was waiting for and the only one I have to have in my collection.

It IS a lot. I just fear that calling it a maquette, and if it does entail COH for Wolverine, at least, that it will be high. Maybe I'm just cynical.

I hate pricing discussions but a general rule of them with collectibles, if it's a popular piece a comparison piece 7 years ago, expect to pay double

just how margins and inflation work on average

general rule of 72

take 72 divide by

your inflation / interest / markup rate per annum

to figure out the number of years an item / asset will double on average

-----

so a comparable product such as Hulk Comiquette - released 2010 - price tag $369.99


six years later... expect to pay close to double if you are using a healthy inflation / markup rate of at least 10% per year

72/10 = 7 years

this will ship by 2017

so $369.99 * 2 = $739.99

oh wait theres another figure ... WOLVERINE oops...

well since he is much smaller than HULK standing at 5'3

his average comqiuette released way back when went for $199.99 .... safe to say double that... $399.99


there might even be 2 WOLVERINEs included
HULK (739.99) + WOLVERINE (399.99) + depending on the exclusive is another wolverine piece or base... another $200-300

ur looking at least = $1139.99 or $1339.99 if 2 Wolverines included. They might do a rewards points rebate for early adopters

now can we please stop talking about price. just don't expect this to be cheaper than Galactus or Sentinel which were released years ago...

 

[Mr. Green]

^^^ Stop it!! Right now!!! Mr. Green ain't paying that much.

So zip it!!!!!!!!

 

[Rulk]

I forgot to take into account the USD currency appreciation of 32% since 2010... so it might be $999.99 after all... after rewards or before.

Good analysis. In my own easy version, a 1/5 scale Wolverine should be around $300 and a 1/5 scale Hulk should be around $500. Add in a little Sideshow kicker and I still think an $850 price point is fair. With that being said, prices are skyrocketing so $1000 is more likely.

 

[filip629]

Hopefully, they'll have a price for this at SDCC so we can all stop speculating and move on to guessing the PO date.

That analysis is meaningless.
Going by the same logic, the X Men vs Sentinel diorama should have been much more expensive back then than the Wolvie vs Sabretooth diorama - you know, Colossus is a bigger character, there's a whole Sentinel head. It was just 50$ more.
Still going by the same logic, the Conan Fury of the Beast should have been $1000 back in 2012, yet it was $500.
Whatever those made up numbers are, they just don't take into account what goes into making statues.

But hey, I won't stop anyone who wants to panic over nothing.

 

[Rulk]

Ok well wait and see..

They aren't perfect models but a guideline

Also you mentioning Conan piece doesn't really make sense because you have nothing in relation to compare it to

No one has the COGS figures, or financials.

I am simply talking about the TVM which is probably the most reasonable approach

 

[El Mule]

We should discover soon enough, do they usually put the pricing on stuff displayed at SDCC?
