Yeah if you’re rich this statue not worth that price and the sellers not gonna see that return either all Life-Size statues should be a minimum $1000-$1500, $2000 around that range with 4200 you can buy more then one statue
Absolutely stunning and agree that despite the price the statue is a true work of art and it shows the heart of work rendered and I would pay for that price. Congratulations in getting this piece.
Gal or WW fanboy dream collection. So realistic looking it’s creepy to own by any guys that want to invite a new gf over. Even Gal herself would be creeped out having that thing staring at her in her office… lol
It looks so much like her. Imagine a 1/1 scale model of Gal Gadot, where the clothes are removable, and the anatomically correct figure is completely posable. And washable.
Easily the Best Statue of Wonder Woman I ever saw but that price tag is so hefty. I have the JND Superman on order. I never owned one of their pieces and every day I consider cancelling because I'm not sure that price tag is worth it. Thing is, you and X are reviewers that don't sugar coat issues and tell it straight up how it is. If you two are satisfied with JND's Work, I'll give it a chance.
i'm not a fan boy of any company but i give the credit where it's due. there are certain statues from JND that i don't like but their recent products are getting better and you can see it. despite some QC issues that we see now and then, i think it's worth taking a chance if you already have it on pre order.
It’s not worth $4200 but maybe $1800 max. For $4200 I would want my Wonder Woman to have a conversation with me. For $12K I’d want it to be life size and talk to me and wash my dishes.
Nope. Not worth the price. They case stuff the box with as many trinkets and certificates, but it's all just fluff. The statue is cool, not $4k cool. Maybe $500.
Not worth the price especially with that edition size but let’s face it there not making this for the average collector there catering to the Rolex type person who only wants the very best and willing to pay whatever premium to get it.
@@artstatuecollectorRolex example is not the greatest I’m old lol but point is JND is catering to the collector who wants the very best and will pay the premium for it and there is nothing wrong with that they do have the very top end pieces in 1/3 scale
I have the WW84. I think likeness is slightly better than this new one although the new one is great with the traditional costume but not worth the price.
It is anexcellent likeness of her and the detail is incredible, but I don't think it is worth as much as you paid for it. Even at half the price I would personally still think its expensiove.
I don't really ever trip on pricing too much due to the fact if something is what I perceive to be too high I just won't get it, but it's so subjective when it comes to pricing and Logisitics, materials etc.... if the company and artists who did all the work feels it's worth that price and someone buys it, I guess they were right in the pricing. This video quality and editing is definitely worthy of some cheddar lol ! 💸Great vid, I agree though if it is going to be in that price range, the ES should probably be a little lower. Then it's one of those things in life where there are always going to be things some people can afford and some people can't, Like Audi isn't going to lower their price on the R8 because I want it cheaper lol, that's life.
for sure bro. good point there. i don't want to sound like it's only rich people who can afford it. it's really up to what you really want to collect. if you already spend so much money on statues and you think this is worth it, just sell what you have to get it. in the end, it's not about others opinion that matters.
I agree, it’s a great looking piece, maybe the best Gal. I disagree on price, $3200 usd would’ve been fair. I ended up canceling this one. Great unboxing/review as always.
thanks, Phatal. i don't agree with the price tag either but i understand it has to be more expensive than their other line since it's all silicone. i wish you didn't cancel it and you could see for yourself.
Art this just my opinion, but I think you should ban Flankster 117 from your comment section for trolling you in his videos because your not big like him and he used a racial slur when talking about Asian people, just my opinion I am subscribed and a fan of your videos. ❤
Likeness and quality is better than 84. The paint application has improved drastically in 2 years. The paint is also I think more of the 84 classic suit from the movie so that’s why it brighter. People try to compare the two statues but if they made the same exact expression it wouldn’t be fun. IMO they nailed likeness with two different expressions. To me the best ww in any scale is this 1/3
i agree with you there bro. i honestly think the 1984 one looks kinda like a lady boy 😂 so far, everybody who bought and recieve this piece in hand that i know of are satisfied with it.
Wonder Woman has a plethora of powerful weapons with her: sword, shield, lasso, bracelet, tiara…big credits to all the designers in Justice League. It’s sad WB dumps all works Snyder has done and hire someone who’s involved heavily in its rival Marvel. What a joke.
I also collect JND sculptures, so I can also compare the works. I really don't see why this should be an ultimate figure, what's the big difference in quality??? To me, this is actually just another fan rip-off. It's a shame that JND is now fooling the fans too.
The only reason for the high price tag is because the figure is made entirely out of Silicon. However, l agree it's definitely not the ultimate figure, it's just the most expensive one due to the materials used. For a Platnium piece this isn't made very well and as a result it is rife with QC issues.
Yo what up Art. Love this statue, the attention to detail is really good on the armor and skin tone. I agree the side profile looks like Gal Gadot, but from the front it could have been better. As for the price tag, $4200 is a lot, but JND did a great job on it and its definitely the best Gal Gadot statue so i can see why you say its worth it. But for me personally I don't think i would get it for that price, a little too high for a statue like this in my opinion. Great video and review as always my brother. Are you going to the Japan Expo in BKK next month?
thank you bud. i like a lot of their DC characters product but i'm pretty much done now after Superman. let's hope they don't get the Marvel license lol. i didn't even know there is a Japan Expo in bangkok. what type of things will be there?
@@artstatuecollector They have a wide variety of events and exhibits. They have an anime and gaming area, cosplay area, arts and culture area, an area to try different Japanese foods, music artists and shows. I was thinking maybe they might have anime statues since anime is apart of Japanese culture but it doesn't seem like they do. Not 100% sure tho.
Great looking statue. I wouldn’t spend $4200 on it though. For that price tag i’ll def want a 1/2 scale piece with maybe just a silicone face and something overall with a bigger wow factor when u walk in a room with it Hoping Queen eventually shows us their 1/2 Scale WW
for me, it isn't about the scale of it bro. it it's small and looks incredible, i'd take that over most of the big pieces. i think by the time anybody comes out with the half scale ones, i'd already lose interest in it.
I was fortunate to order her straight from Jnd Studios for 3500. Ship from Korean to USA. The after Market she is going for 5000 and Up. 4200 if you look at it from a far is reasonable. She is indeed Wonderful!😍
Holy hell 😱😱!!!! I hope you didnt pay 4200 USD for it. Thats certainly not the retail for it. I got it for 3500 USD a few weeks ago, thats direct form JND, top priority express Fedex shipping. Did someone flip it to you? I think its still worth the price tag though. The best one out there, I have both infinity bust and queen, and the paint app and likeness is just better on JND IMO.
that's the retail here in Thailand with shipping and taxes. i agree on the paint. it looks better than IS but i think the likeness for the life size bust is better.
I paid $4406 for mine and still think it's worth it. that's retail directly from JND + Shipping and huge tax here in Israel. It is what it is.. I would have paid only slightly less if I got it from Specfiction but it was already sold out there and I already had it on order from JND so canceling would have cost me my NRD.
Let me start by saying your video quality is crazy good, looks like I can reach through the screen it's so real! Now to be picky, I've never understood the boots on some of the WW statues. Prime 1 WW vs Hydra is wearing these high heeled boots similar to this JND piece, to me it's a take away from what the statue is showing as a whole, if that makes sense? This is hyper real with battle damaged weapons and suit, and foot wear that is so unrealistic. For me, it's one of those features that doesn't make sense when so much of this piece and WW vs Hydra are supposed to be showing a battle ready warrior. I know it's probably movie accurate and I'm being petty to most but it's the one thing that doesn't fit. Aside from that, its an amazing piece that is setting the bar so much higher, but it's nothing I'd ever pay 4k for. Love the review!
much appreciated bro! ❤haha you are one picky dude but yeah, i don't think the movies are made to make sense. most of these statues aren't really worth the price tag but since this is the first we ever saw a statue that is full of silicone and well made at the same time, it's worth it for me. let's see what QS will be coming out with this year!
wow, 1000 pcs isn't really too limited though. For that price I would have expected more exclusivity. That's more than a lot of the common sideshow Premium Format runs which are typically 750. Looks amazing, but for that price it's a definitely no. I also agree with you that the red color needs to pop more. It's not eye catching enough. I'd be worried about how the silicon will hold up over time. I own a lot of TBLeague stuff and I haven't had any problems, but a lot of people have, but that's only $100-$200. I would have spent the money on like 3-4 1/4 statues personally. I just think at that edition size, you won't be making any money on this statue any time soon if you intend to resell in the future. Also, seeing all your statues in a glass room with all that sun exposure makes me very uneasy lol
No. It looks great. But I'm a builder not a buyer. 4K for a pro computer to model, no problemo, or 3D printer to print my own, yeah. But 4K just for a statuete made of silicone, nah, never. But your collection looks fun to have. Until you have to vaccuum clean it, I'm not an avid vaccuum cleaner as well. When I saw you fondling WW, my first thought was WTF, second was "silicone", third was "Really?". All plastics age....slowly (most too slowly in fact 😢, as my plastic bin each week shouts at me). But some hold their metal quite wel, as 60 year old Tupperware in my cupboard proves. Soft plastics have a tendency to go brittle with time, some even start sweating as the soft handles of my Wacom pens do in the hands of a friend of mine. In my hands, no problemo, never needed a replacement. His become sticky in a few month, mine lasts for 5 years now. As they say, time will tell.
Great review. I think she looks like Gal about 85% As you mentioned the side view looks a lot like her but that front view for some reason it doesn’t! She looks awesome! But for me it’s to pricey. But hey if you like it and you have the space and money to get it, then go ahead! The bottom line is we buy what we like! I still haven’t bought a Prime1Studio statue or Queen Studio statue because of space and price! But someday I will get that space and purchase one. Even if it’s one! I have a question? What’s the care maintenance for silicone statue? Does it last?
I love this piece! For the price however, JND should have gone all the way to make the sword better. The material they used made it very light and look very weak and it's not even straight.
I will say that mine came out a lot straighter out of the box. I didn't try to bend it and play with it. didn't even know it was this flexible until I saw it now on Art's video. In person it looks fantastic though. I wish the blade was made of metal but I think it would have been to difficult to capture those tiny details with diecast. I think it might have to be laser etched with extreme precision. Also the weight might be an issue but not sure.
Love it and a bit less and be more collectors-friendly price, I know the silicone is more on this, but the rest of the statues pretty much standard JND piece, maybe it is WW, that's why the price is higher
It costs 10 bucks for a sweet poster, or even canvas art in a fancy frame, if you want to get fancy. This shit is just ridiculous waste of money and space. And this is coming from a former Sideshow 1/4 PF guy. Glad i woke up, matured. 😂
Brand new to your channel. You put a new shine on the "Go Big or Go Home" saying. 🙂 You have a new subscriber. For the figure, like most, $4200 is too rich for me, but it is a great looking piece. But when the component pieces are not what one would expect (rubber sword, etc.) and there are 1000 made, then even if I had such funds, I probably would not consider it. I'd pay that kind of money to have lunch with Gal herself, but not for a statue that misses on too many things. Fantastic presentation. I'm off to discover all your other videos. Be well and stay strong.
much appreciated! for sure it's not for everyone and even for myself. i don't think i'll be purchasing many more of their statues b/c of the price and space.
I think it's by law that Toy companies need to make the swords a rubbery material due to safety. I have a deluxe Angela figure and her sword is a rubbery material.
Is this statue worth 4200? Of course not! For such a price tag, at a minimum, her sword should be made of metal so that letters can be opened. And a lot of things should still be different
No it is not. Arms are too loose, non movable eyes and non movable head. No sound chip in stand. For four grand we like to have something fitting for the year 2024. For hyper-real there should be more posing features. rubber sword with a static stand, such a let down. Would have also been a better display with an action dynamic pose. Even option head swaps. So for the price point, not worth it. Better getting 1/6 action figure version.
Agree about the not-great red color on the costume. Doesn't pop enough. However, the likeness is really good. My big issue with this and any of these large silicone statues and busts is the HAIR. Is their any care and cleaning instructions because over time airborne dust, pollen, bacteria, and micro particles are going to adhere to the hair and at some point in the future it will be noticeable. Similarly.. cleaning such off the silicone. Maybe some don't care, but if I am dropping that much money on a figure withe non-molded hair... I really want to know how to maintain it from the inevitable dust that will find its way onto it.... even if you cant see it.
Wow That looks incredible To me it’s perfect The skin tone is spot on But would I pay that much ? No But then I’m not really into the “super” or marvel characters Bug it’s super
wouldn't they be able to release a seperate sword from different materials... so for example, fully cast + chrome plating or even special edition full metal? if the issue is shipping to some countries, they could work around it was this right give buyers a coupon code for a free extra sword (especially at these prices)
I'd prefer a used motorcycle.... But that's just me. Had to edit because the more I see your collection, I have to admit that if money wasn't an obstacle I'd love to have a collection like that. Good for you man ❤
ahhhhh for that price you can get a life size silicone doll that looks real close. has the exact figure you want. skin tone. then buy a 100 dollar costume and boom. you get a life size doll that you can pose. that looks real. ahhhh ya anyone that buys this over a life size one..... well i cant imagine it.
For me an important issue is longevity. A solid resin statue will hold its shape and unless it has delicate parts that are likely to get broken in a move, it will last for years or decades. Something like this has so many different parts and materials. Will some parts become brittle or discolored over time? Will sunlight or changes in humidity affect it? I'd like to see if it looks this good in ten years time, or twenty. And the hair, while realistic looking, has a lot of individual strands, and I wonder how that will hold up over time. If I was spending thousands of dollars on a display piece, I would want to know that it will last, and will look just as good on the shelf when I get old.
Your bank balance holds the key 😊. Personally, I'd opt to invest $4200 in something more practical or enjoyable for me, like a gaming PC, a 100-inch OLED TV, or even a motorcycle.
As a model, it's a great likeness. It looks just like DCEU WW. But somebody explain the logic of being outfitted for battle while posing for come hither 💋🛏 playtime? It's a bit weird imo. But then, that's what the comics always did with female characters so...
Very nice. But something about the mouth is off. I think for that amount it should have been 100% likeness. I’d say maybe $1500-$2K seems right. But I’d of course have to see it in person to get a true assessment. The rubbery sword is really weird. Maybe laws in some states prevented it from being plastic or having a spine. Just really weird. But I’m glad you like feel you got your money’s worth. Enjoy!
You making extra big money from YT go for it. I have disposable income, too. But, I don’t think I can spent that much . They look cool. I saw this awesome looking final fantasy statue, but it hella bank.
Dramatic music. Black gloves. Cinematic closeups. But that’s a $4500 luxury Barbie on a stand… What’s the deal ? Dolls for grownups ? Do you stare at her during the day ?
I agree with you on the face. Sides are good, but straight on, it's not 100%. Something with the lips/mouth. It is not her exact face. What a shame too. Even if it was standard materials and say $1200, it would still be out of my range. But, thanks to your videos, I get to watch and dream. 🙂
Im glad im at the tail end of collecting. The pride of my collection is my lifesize statues. When a small statue or bust can be 50-70% of the price of a lifesize statue theres something seriously wrong. Now i see lifesize statues are up around the $15K mark... People are either living beyond their means to buy this stuff, are distributors for pablo escobar or theyre dentists and lawyers. The hobby has seriously become a joke. The bubble will eventually burst, it cant last forever at those escalating extortionate prices.
More like 70% to 75%,hair looks weird. But Gal never came off as wonder woman,besides not really having somewhat guns. They could have picked a better actress also.
I think when the price is this high, it also comes down to why one is in the hobby. For most people, like myself, the hobby is just something one does to take a break from daily life and enjoy. So the question ultimately becomes whether I absolutely need to spend $4200 and whether the enjoyment is proportionate. In that regard, I feel that there is a lot of room to doubt the choice of spending that much money. With a lesser amount, one can get multiple good enough statues that provide the same level of enjoyment. So at a fundamental level, something like this feels like a bad purchase. Due to the nature of the hobby, that extra level of workmanship to merit the $4200 price tag does not offer a proportionately extra level of enjoyment that one couldn't get by multiple purchases of less expensive statues.
The fact that it is sold out EVERYWHERE answers your question.
Yeah if you’re rich this statue not worth that price and the sellers not gonna see that return either all Life-Size statues should be a minimum $1000-$1500, $2000 around that range with 4200 you can buy more then one statue
Horny Bois
World is full Of fools and their money.
If it’s made in limited quantity, it’ll be sold out bruh. We have to see how many were made.
@@God-k5b the video said how many
It looks exactly like her. Beautiful and amazing, just as the actress and character.
nah. Its only 85%. cheaper figures can achieve this amount of likeness
Looks nothing like her. Way over priced and you get a rubber sword are you kidding me. Glad I canceled this one.
respect your opinion 👍🏻
Love it but the only way I'll pay 4200$ is if it can cook and clean too 😂😜
The skin texture on silicone really makes the statue stand out. The imperfection in skin looks realistic. Well done...
Absolutely stunning and agree that despite the price the statue is a true work of art and it shows the heart of work rendered and I would pay for that price. Congratulations in getting this piece.
truly is and i hardly ever say it's worth it
You could buy a real woman for that much money impressing her on a few dates and gifts!
He got a beautiful collection congratulations god bless 😊

It looks so much like her. Imagine a 1/1 scale model of Gal Gadot, where the clothes are removable, and the anatomically correct figure is completely posable. And washable.
I'm sure Real Doll could make something very close, you can buy it a Wonder Woman outfit and she'd be able to do all lot more poseable things.
Has to be washable for sure 😂😂😂
Does it come with holes?
Easily the Best Statue of Wonder Woman I ever saw but that price tag is so hefty.
I have the JND Superman on order. I never owned one of their pieces and every day I consider cancelling because I'm not sure that price tag is worth it.

So I’m curious as to why people keep calling this a “statue” when it is in fact a doll… a nice doll but a doll none the less.
damn this statue is just perfect. I hope I can afford it.
I love it! But I have to say it's definitely not worth that price tag. This price is far too different from other JND statues.
it is different b/c it's all silicone but yes, the price is steep
Agreed.
It’s not worth $4200 but maybe $1800 max. For $4200 I would want my Wonder Woman to have a conversation with me. For $12K I’d want it to be life size and talk to me and wash my dishes.
Best video quality in the youtube game bro !!!! and cant wait for this statue ! !
thanks bro. let me know what you think when you get yours ❤
Nope. Not worth the price. They case stuff the box with as many trinkets and certificates, but it's all just fluff. The statue is cool, not $4k cool. Maybe $500.
Yea that’s what I think too
I have it and love it. I am a little disappointed in some of the materials they used (I.e., the sword) but I understand why they did it.

thank you so much and i agree with you
I don't know why, but I don't really like JND pieces.
In this one, Gal is really good 👽
it's not typical to be collecting silicone statues for most people. it does look great though!
I have the WW84. I think likeness is slightly better than this new one although the new one is great with the traditional costume but not worth the price.
i can't really comment which is better since i haven't seen 84 in person. do you have this one coming? would love to see the comparison 👍🏻
@@artstatuecollector sold my PO to a friend.
I would love to see Gal Gadot's reaction seeing this sculpture in person. They basically made a mini clone of her as WW.

Wait, the sword is RUBBER??? 🤣🤣 $4+ for a rubber sword 🤦🤦🤦 Thanks for the honest review, there's a severe lack for jnd pieces for some reason
yeah, it's rubber 😅they could have gone with any other light weight material...
Stainless Steel is fair about this sword
10/10 i love mine. Cant wait for more JND women to be announced.
glad to hear. haven't heard anyone who doesn't love it yet!
Is Bugatti worth it? No. Such questions don’t mean anything to people who can afford to buy it.
$50 maybe I’ll think about it .. not worth the money but for collectors idk it’s ur choice
Impressive piece of art! Love it!
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a shot of Gal Gadot. That’s incredible.
It is anexcellent likeness of her and the detail is incredible, but I don't think it is worth as much as you paid for it. Even at half the price I would personally still think its expensiove.

Ridicilous for a Silicone-Doll with a Rubber-Sword and Plastic-Shield 😂😂
that's your opinion 🙂
Why didn’t they use titanium for the sword and shield and the metallic parts of her outfit. That would have made it even more special.
For $4200 that girl better come life-sized and anatomically correct.
if it was 1/1 scale,anatomically correct,and came to life at night...sure!
Not even for 50% of the price
Wonder Woman has a plethora of powerful weapons with her: sword, shield, lasso, bracelet, tiara…big credits to all the designers in Justice League. It’s sad WB dumps all works Snyder has done and hire someone who’s involved heavily in its rival Marvel. What a joke.
Yikes 4,200 hundred? Flankster got from spec fiction for 3,500 or 3, 700
And no way its worth the cost
Wondering how much the Super man is going for
yeah, that's the retail for Thailand include shipping and taxes. Superman is $3000 retail here.
For 4200 Dollars you probably could have had a photoshoot with the real Gal Gadot. Now THAT would have been worth it.
I also collect JND sculptures, so I can also compare the works. I really don't see why this should be an ultimate figure, what's the big difference in quality??? To me, this is actually just another fan rip-off. It's a shame that JND is now fooling the fans too.

But for me personally I don't think i would get it for that price, a little too high for a statue like this in my opinion. Great video and review as always my brother. Are you going to the Japan Expo in BKK next month?
thank you bud. i like a lot of their DC characters product but i'm pretty much done now after Superman. let's hope they don't get the Marvel license lol.
i didn't even know there is a Japan Expo in bangkok. what type of things will be there?
@@artstatuecollector They have a wide variety of events and exhibits. They have an anime and gaming area, cosplay area, arts and culture area, an area to try different Japanese foods, music artists and shows. I was thinking maybe they might have anime statues since anime is apart of Japanese culture but it doesn't seem like they do. Not 100% sure tho.
Great looking statue. I wouldn’t spend $4200 on it though. For that price tag i’ll def want a 1/2 scale piece with maybe just a silicone face and something overall with a bigger wow factor when u walk in a room with it
Hoping Queen eventually shows us their 1/2 Scale WW
I think they scrapped it lol. I haven’t heard anything about it.
@@the_collector3000 man i hope not lol
for me, it isn't about the scale of it bro. it it's small and looks incredible, i'd take that over most of the big pieces.
i think by the time anybody comes out with the half scale ones, i'd already lose interest in it.
I was fortunate to order her straight from Jnd Studios for 3500. Ship from Korean to USA. The after Market she is going for 5000 and Up. 4200 if you look at it from a far is reasonable. She is indeed Wonderful!😍
thats good man. 4200 is retail plus shipping and taxes for me from distributor.
You’re crazy if you think that’s reasonable
@@dormin91 You're absolutely right! I must be crazy cuz I just sold her for 5000!🤣
All those dust collecting statues? forever dusting?
LOL.... silicone rubber skin... 8 years.. gone
ye mouth(upper lip) and teeh are not gal gadots. but the rest is like 99% accurate!
in person, it doesn't bother me at all. maybe b/c of the size that you hardly notice it.
I think the mouth part is a bit off. The lines from the side
Man that is freaking awesome! I want one and a captain America ! Man you have an awesome collection!
Holy hell 😱😱!!!! I hope you didnt pay 4200 USD for it. Thats certainly not the retail for it. I got it for 3500 USD a few weeks ago, thats direct form JND, top priority express Fedex shipping. Did someone flip it to you? I think its still worth the price tag though. The best one out there, I have both infinity bust and queen, and the paint app and likeness is just better on JND IMO.
that's the retail here in Thailand with shipping and taxes. i agree on the paint. it looks better than IS but i think the likeness for the life size bust is better.
I paid $4406 for mine and still think it's worth it. that's retail directly from JND + Shipping and huge tax here in Israel. It is what it is.. I would have paid only slightly less if I got it from Specfiction but it was already sold out there and I already had it on order from JND so canceling would have cost me my NRD.
Short & quick answer absolutely and unequivocally no, it is not worth it. However still a great video man & that’s all it matters 👍
it's all good. a lot of people will disagree with me here and i get why. it's all up to one's satisfaction. thanks!
$4000 for a plastic chinese toy
Let me start by saying your video quality is crazy good, looks like I can reach through the screen it's so real! Now to be picky, I've never understood the boots on some of the WW statues. Prime 1 WW vs Hydra is wearing these high heeled boots similar to this JND piece, to me it's a take away from what the statue is showing as a whole, if that makes sense? This is hyper real with battle damaged weapons and suit, and foot wear that is so unrealistic. For me, it's one of those features that doesn't make sense when so much of this piece and WW vs Hydra are supposed to be showing a battle ready warrior. I know it's probably movie accurate and I'm being petty to most but it's the one thing that doesn't fit. Aside from that, its an amazing piece that is setting the bar so much higher, but it's nothing I'd ever pay 4k for. Love the review!
much appreciated bro! ❤haha you are one picky dude but yeah, i don't think the movies are made to make sense. most of these statues aren't really worth the price tag but since this is the first we ever saw a statue that is full of silicone and well made at the same time, it's worth it for me. let's see what QS will be coming out with this year!
Between jnd and is.bust, which one is more like gal?
i'd say the IS bust looks more like Gal
wow, 1000 pcs isn't really too limited though. For that price I would have expected more exclusivity. That's more than a lot of the common sideshow Premium Format runs which are typically 750. Looks amazing, but for that price it's a definitely no. I also agree with you that the red color needs to pop more. It's not eye catching enough. I'd be worried about how the silicon will hold up over time. I own a lot of TBLeague stuff and I haven't had any problems, but a lot of people have, but that's only $100-$200. I would have spent the money on like 3-4 1/4 statues personally. I just think at that edition size, you won't be making any money on this statue any time soon if you intend to resell in the future.
Also, seeing all your statues in a glass room with all that sun exposure makes me very uneasy lol
Finally! You can have Gal Gadot in your living room without all of the kidnapping!😂😂😂
No. It looks great. But I'm a builder not a buyer. 4K for a pro computer to model, no problemo, or 3D printer to print my own, yeah. But 4K just for a statuete made of silicone, nah, never. But your collection looks fun to have. Until you have to vaccuum clean it, I'm not an avid vaccuum cleaner as well. When I saw you fondling WW, my first thought was WTF, second was "silicone", third was "Really?". All plastics age....slowly (most too slowly in fact 😢, as my plastic bin each week shouts at me). But some hold their metal quite wel, as 60 year old Tupperware in my cupboard proves. Soft plastics have a tendency to go brittle with time, some even start sweating as the soft handles of my Wacom pens do in the hands of a friend of mine. In my hands, no problemo, never needed a replacement. His become sticky in a few month, mine lasts for 5 years now. As they say, time will tell.
Great review. I think she looks like Gal about 85% As you mentioned the side view looks a lot like her but that front view for some reason it doesn’t! She looks awesome! But for me it’s to pricey. But hey if you like it and you have the space and money to get it, then go ahead! The bottom line is we buy what we like! I still haven’t bought a Prime1Studio statue or Queen Studio statue because of space and price! But someday I will get that space and purchase one. Even if it’s one! I have a question? What’s the care maintenance for silicone statue? Does it last?
I love this piece! For the price however, JND should have gone all the way to make the sword better. The material they used made it very light and look very weak and it's not even straight.
exactly. that sword is the only disappointment on this statue.
I will say that mine came out a lot straighter out of the box. I didn't try to bend it and play with it. didn't even know it was this flexible until I saw it now on Art's video.
In person it looks fantastic though.
I wish the blade was made of metal but I think it would have been to difficult to capture those tiny details with diecast. I think it might have to be laser etched with extreme precision. Also the weight might be an issue but not sure.
Love it and a bit less and be more collectors-friendly price, I know the silicone is more on this, but the rest of the statues pretty much standard JND piece, maybe it is WW, that's why the price is higher
would love it to be much less 💸
Very expensive Barbie doll!!!!!!!
I just bougt a full size love doll..... i thought i was on the way of a collector, then i saw this, now i just feel like a degenerate azzhole! :(
I'm confused. You live in Thailand. There's got to be somebody down the street that can make the same statue for like $9.00.
It costs 10 bucks for a sweet poster, or even canvas art in a fancy frame, if you want to get fancy. This shit is just ridiculous waste of money and space. And this is coming from a former Sideshow 1/4 PF guy. Glad i woke up, matured. 😂
Pretty amazing work here, but also pretty sure that's a young Fran Drescher.
Brand new to your channel. You put a new shine on the "Go Big or Go Home" saying. 🙂 You have a new subscriber.
For the figure, like most, $4200 is too rich for me, but it is a great looking piece. But when the component pieces are not what one would expect (rubber sword, etc.) and there are 1000 made, then even if I had such funds, I probably would not consider it. I'd pay that kind of money to have lunch with Gal herself, but not for a statue that misses on too many things.
Fantastic presentation. I'm off to discover all your other videos. Be well and stay strong.
much appreciated! for sure it's not for everyone and even for myself. i don't think i'll be purchasing many more of their statues b/c of the price and space.
I think it's by law that Toy companies need to make the swords a rubbery material due to safety. I have a deluxe Angela figure and her sword is a rubbery material.
Is this statue worth 4200? Of course not! For such a price tag, at a minimum, her sword should be made of metal so that letters can be opened. And a lot of things should still be different
I missed out on it sadly /:
No it is not. Arms are too loose, non movable eyes and non movable head. No sound chip in stand. For four grand we like to have something fitting for the year 2024. For hyper-real there should be more posing features. rubber sword with a static stand, such a let down. Would have also been a better display with an action dynamic pose. Even option head swaps. So for the price point, not worth it. Better getting 1/6 action figure version.
Huge fan of JND !
Is it worth it ?
Personally for me NO !!!
Why ?
Because it's 4200 $ 🤦♂️
👎
Agree about the not-great red color on the costume. Doesn't pop enough. However, the likeness is really good. My big issue with this and any of these large silicone statues and busts is the HAIR. Is their any care and cleaning instructions because over time airborne dust, pollen, bacteria, and micro particles are going to adhere to the hair and at some point in the future it will be noticeable. Similarly.. cleaning such off the silicone. Maybe some don't care, but if I am dropping that much money on a figure withe non-molded hair... I really want to know how to maintain it from the inevitable dust that will find its way onto it.... even if you cant see it.
Wow
That looks incredible
To me it’s perfect
The skin tone is spot on
But would I pay that much ?
No
But then I’m not really into the “super” or marvel characters
Bug it’s super
wouldn't they be able to release a seperate sword from different materials...
so for example, fully cast + chrome plating or even special edition full metal?
if the issue is shipping to some countries, they could work around it was this right
give buyers a coupon code for a free extra sword (especially at these prices)
I'd prefer a used motorcycle.... But that's just me.
Had to edit because the more I see your collection, I have to admit that if money wasn't an obstacle I'd love to have a collection like that. Good for you man ❤
Man, you think the likeness of this is better than the Infinity bust?? Crazy!
Far better indeed.
not better but close. it has a different look to it.
ahhhhh for that price you can get a life size silicone doll that looks real close. has the exact figure you want. skin tone. then buy a 100 dollar costume and boom. you get a life size doll that you can pose. that looks real. ahhhh ya anyone that buys this over a life size one..... well i cant imagine it.
Holy crap. For 4200 that thing needs to come anatomically correct, or with the real Gal.
For me an important issue is longevity. A solid resin statue will hold its shape and unless it has delicate parts that are likely to get broken in a move, it will last for years or decades. Something like this has so many different parts and materials. Will some parts become brittle or discolored over time? Will sunlight or changes in humidity affect it? I'd like to see if it looks this good in ten years time, or twenty. And the hair, while realistic looking, has a lot of individual strands, and I wonder how that will hold up over time. If I was spending thousands of dollars on a display piece, I would want to know that it will last, and will look just as good on the shelf when I get old.
Incredible reproduction, for sure. The best I've ever seen. But this price is a little high for something that will have 999 others made.
Your bank balance holds the key 😊. Personally, I'd opt to invest $4200 in something more practical or enjoyable for me, like a gaming PC, a 100-inch OLED TV, or even a motorcycle.
As a model, it's a great likeness. It looks just like DCEU WW.
But somebody explain the logic of being outfitted for battle while posing for come hither 💋🛏 playtime? It's a bit weird imo.
But then, that's what the comics always did with female characters so...
Very nice. But something about the mouth is off. I think for that amount it should have been 100% likeness.
I’d say maybe $1500-$2K seems right. But I’d of course have to see it in person to get a true assessment. The rubbery sword is really weird. Maybe laws in some states prevented it from being plastic or having a spine. Just really weird.
But I’m glad you like feel you got your money’s worth. Enjoy!
You making extra big money from YT go for it. I have disposable income, too. But, I don’t think I can spent that much . They look cool. I saw this awesome looking final fantasy statue, but it hella bank.
Dramatic music. Black gloves. Cinematic closeups. But that’s a $4500 luxury Barbie on a stand… What’s the deal ? Dolls for grownups ?
Do you stare at her during the day ?
How come you speak English
why not?
I agree with you on the face. Sides are good, but straight on, it's not 100%. Something with the lips/mouth. It is not her exact face. What a shame too.
Even if it was standard materials and say $1200, it would still be out of my range. But, thanks to your videos, I get to watch and dream. 🙂
Im glad im at the tail end of collecting. The pride of my collection is my lifesize statues. When a small statue or bust can be 50-70% of the price of a lifesize statue theres something seriously wrong.
Now i see lifesize statues are up around the $15K mark...
People are either living beyond their means to buy this stuff, are distributors for pablo escobar or theyre dentists and lawyers.
The hobby has seriously become a joke.
The bubble will eventually burst, it cant last forever at those escalating extortionate prices.
More like 70% to 75%,hair looks weird. But Gal never came off as wonder woman,besides not really having somewhat guns. They could have picked a better actress also.
Holy cow!! No way any "statue" is worth that much! You statue collectors need to learn how to paint and request more as kits!
I think when the price is this high, it also comes down to why one is in the hobby. For most people, like myself, the hobby is just something one does to take a break from daily life and enjoy. So the question ultimately becomes whether I absolutely need to spend $4200 and whether the enjoyment is proportionate. In that regard, I feel that there is a lot of room to doubt the choice of spending that much money. With a lesser amount, one can get multiple good enough statues that provide the same level of enjoyment. So at a fundamental level, something like this feels like a bad purchase. Due to the nature of the hobby, that extra level of workmanship to merit the $4200 price tag does not offer a proportionately extra level of enjoyment that one couldn't get by multiple purchases of less expensive statues.
Not sure it worths over $4000, but daaaaymn, that sure looks like a real skin. What is that--epoxy? Rubber? Silicon?
