Secret Compass had this listed for just under 1K, but that listing has since gone. Whether that is close to the mark price wise is anyone's guess.

They posted this pic for people to realize how big this thing is.
Yep, looks like it'll be huge. And expensive.
Holy crap! ...and that's only 1/6 scale?! Dayum ....
Now kinda want to see what they can do with 1/8 scale.

Please note the PVC version will be a different statue, though.
Wish they'd give us a sneak peek of their 1/8 scale sculpt. That would help with deciding which direction to go.

So ordering from Taka Corp directly is the only option? I'm not a big fan ordering from overseas with the shipping costs and custom charges. 888 seems like a reasonably large run, I wonder if it will sell out straight away or not.

Can't find it on BBTS. Link?
Can't post a link yet cause I'm still new here, but it was right on the first page of BBTS for me.

So 3 different suppliers in the US? Would be nice to know how many units they were given considering it's only a 888 release. Comic Concepts also offers free shipping it would be cheaper to have bought from them than directly from Taka Corp if you're in US and you only had to pay a deposit.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they couldn't have announced that ahead of time (either by TakaCorp, or the suppliers themselves). Would have preferred ordering from a US supplier, but was concerned no one in the US was going to carry it, and I didn't want to take the chance of missing out on the statue, so I ordered directly before they finally said something about the other suppliers carrying the piece.
I kept checking BBTS after the preorder went live for about 30 min, and didn't see anything, so I ordered directly. Had no idea about SpecFiction or that other site until much later in the day. Oh well, I got my order in, so I guess that's all that matters. Looking forward to it in 2021 hopefully!

People did leave FB posts about these other suppliers, but they were deleted by Taka Corp. Seems they didn't want them buying from any other source but them.
They haven't sold out at TC yet and the other websites all still have them too, so it would be interesting to see how many actually did sell of the 888. I'm in Australia and I haven't seen anyone stock it here, but $70 shipping from TC directly is a lot cheaper than it would be from any US distributor. Shipping is ridiculous from North America.

So that would make the Sideshow version around 1/10 size I think.

Measures (in centimeters): 40x55x78.
They'll be releasing a smaller PVC version (1:8) later on. (This 1:6 version has been confirmed as 100% resin.)
Man, now I want to see the 1/8 version. If the detail is not lost at that scale, then 1/8 might be a good alternative.
