Glad to see this sold out.

A great figure, but somewhat out of my league.
Pierce does deserves this kind of recognition.

DOH!!! I hardly go on the main page!!! Thanks for letting me know.

Congrats EMCE! Glad you guys found success with this custom.

I'm going to assume monster fans will be hanging on to these, so after market prices will be sky high within the monster collecting circles. I'm sure the chair will be an even rarer piece. Monster fans are used to paying garage kit prices and love dioramas.

I would have bought one had it been an actual production figure. Being that they're all customs, I don't know where that value will go. Good idea though.

Technically all Garage Kits are "customs" as well once assembled and painted. Many of the limited edition 12" figures being sold in monster circles these days use resin heads (I can't remember... is it the Executive Replicas? or one of the other companies stocked at Amok Time?). I don't think they will discern.

For them... it's the fact that a Jack Pierce figure was actually produced, and exists in limited quantities beyond what the demand will be past the initial social media publicity. Being a show exclusive gives it some extra cachet as well.

Good points!

I was lucky enough to get one ordered and will be picking it up at the show. Really look forward to putting him with the other monsters in the castle.

The point of the pre-order was not to pick it up at the show, but for people who
can't get to Monsterpalooza to be able to buy one.

Pre-ordered Jacks will be shipped out the week after the show.
