Also the artist proof was never announced as a "special" or "exclusive" edition they just made an artist proof (like most of the McFarlane statues)..

Costing more isn't the issue, as extras are including. What bothers me is the illegal false advertising of exclusivity. Throwing in an extra piece does not make the edition of a hand painted statue unique. The statue is still the same. The add on is what is different, hence claiming two versions and two runs is a lie.
In regards to McFarlane, producing 1,000 statues then taking 50 off the production line, simply not painting them, then giving them their own serial number, is not unique or special. They took away from the real run of statues and are selling an unfinished product. If a car company like Ford makes a special edition of the Mustang with serial number (which they do often), then last minute say "hey 50 of these are artist proof!" Which means they're unpainted, and charged the same price, wouldn't you agree paying the same amount of money for an unpainted car is just silly?
