That statue is beyond amazing! Wowzers!!

[bigclutch]

Me too! Added bonus is the Broncos are playing the Jets on the weekend of the con so guess I'll be in NJ on Sunday.

 

I've seen 3 MNF games while in NY for NYCC. Even with crappy teams, it's still fun!

So can you break away from the con on Sunday?

 

Nope. So bummed.

You should get a job that doesn't make you work on football Sundays!

 

Do you think guys who work for the NFL feel the same?

Both .......... anyone have a McFarlane coupon code?

[AnthaiHERO]

The paint won't be exact, but hopefully it comes close. I passed on the grey one, even though it'll go up in value due to the limited edition size. I wish they did a black and white one.

[Carl Elvis]

Michonne vs Gov pages broke $3k, still haven't met reserve.

 

I just realized the seller could probably make more by selling them apart.

[retrothecollector]

Uhhh the painted one!!!! DUH!!

Why a big "DUH!!!" :shrug:

 

The Artist Proof is pretty awesome too; Quote from Todd:

 

"We've been making toys for two decades and I can say, on a dozen of occasions, the most joy I get out of looking at our products is seeing the unpainted proofs we receive," McFarlane said. "My eyes are not distracted from the detail and nuances of the actual sculpt by the paint application. With the figure being unpainted, shadows are cast on every level of the figure and really draw your eye to the amazing detail and time put into these products."

"Unpainted" is code for "cheap paint job = more profit".

 

Walking Dead exclusives should be actually painted to match the black&white&grey tones of the comic.

It's a money grab with no artistic reasoning behind it. They sell 50 statues without having to pay to have them painted and then try to pawn it off as a creative choice.

So unpainted is code for cheaper cost of production to the manufacturer, which equals more profit for the manufacturer. So in a sense, you believe that the "Artist Proof" ones should be cheaper... Gotcha.

Yeah. I don't. I was just joking about the getting a non Sunday job. I would gladly work on football Sundays to do what you get to do.

I should have said that instead

 

I guess we're luckily they didn't try charging MORE for the exclusive.
