There is something weird with her lower half. Also, kind of wish the red and white on her arm was more muted.

Dislike anything that describes itself as a "limited edition run" without saying the size of the run

Cool item though but not sure I'd value it at 200 bucks

Yeah at that price a numbered edition would make more sense... but it tempts me all the same. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Yeah, I debated back and forth on that. They are limited, but they are not numbered. For that reason, they're not worth buying just to have something super limited and numbered (and they're not going to be marketed that way). But for the people that don't have collector-brain, they are still both cool and fairly limited in terms of scarcity.

The full scoop is we made 99 of them, but we didn't commit to whether that would be it or not. Either way, there will never be more than a few hundred of them, but that kind of vagueness is only bad news for advertising them, so we're not bringing up runs or saying anything about edition size (except for me over-sharing here, I guess). So they're limited edition in the same sense as the VBotM tees, or, say, TeeFury (which also claims Limited Edition), which I think is valid for the bulk of the people that will encounter them. This is why I didn't mention it here earlier--they're cool, but they're intentionally not being done for the die-hard collector.

As for the price, pewter figures regularly go for $10 - $15 even for smaller guys, and some of these are pretty big/intricate. And those prices are for mass-market numbers of figures, so yes this is a big purchase, but compared to what you would pay to get them individually, it's in line (or a little bit of a deal)....

Thanks for the response Ryan

I figured as much

Although for something like this where the actual run size is unknown

The word 'limited' much better describes it then 'limited edition'

I know I know it's super nit-picky but saying limited elicits a very different feel than limited edition

Not sure you should say limited edition if you don't know edition size

Works for the VBotM tees because we at least know they're limited in time and how much time

I'm probably just crazy though

Honestly I don't think I care about rarity on this one, it's super cool. I think Doom is a kind of niche market anyway, not super hot, not a target for flippers. Pricey, but I think I've talked myself into it.

As always, thanks for your input Ryan
