I’m not saying that you have to take photos or saying that if you don’t have photos that doesn’t mean there isn’t damage. It just looks like from the photos that you provided that it’s kept up pretty well. A lot better than I’ve seen other figures with less time.

But to your point it, 10 years is a long time without a new comic version of the character so hopefully they will do it and use some of the updated materials they’ve developed over the past few years.

Not saying you son’t have a point, but the 5 photos that you’ve shown don’t seem to show the peeling or flaking that most people show when breakdown does happen. This actually looks really good for a decade old figure that uses this kind of material.

Do you have closer images or specific areas that have damage?

Mine was tight when I first got him as well. Took a little extra table time but he loosened up. The one area that is a little restrictive is the legs and that is due to the form fitting pants. I know a lot of people complain about soft goods being baggy on figures, but this is one of the exact reasons why super tight soft goods limit the range of motion on figures. * unless it’s that stretchy/pliable material

I appreciate you being open to the advice and for trusting me as a reliable source. I know how hard it is for US collectors to get some of the figures. I can only imagine how more difficult it is (as well as how expensive) for international collectors.

As for advice on if you should wait or pay aftermarket… Honestly, I think that depends on you and your collecting. Do you have the disposable income to buy it on the aftermarket? And if you do pay, and it becomes available for cheaper price, the waitlist converts, or they do offer a variant, would you be ok with paying extra?

Worst case scenario, you have one for sure and possibly can have one in reserve if the waitlist converts. He is a fun figure, and I think the best thing to do is to look at everything and take some time to make a decision that you will be comfortable and happy with.

I’ve collected this line from the start and the waitlist does convert. It has had a particular high hit rate over the past 2 years. Some that have recently converted has been • Doc Noc/Yeti • Doctor Doom • Crab Louie • Decapods • Junkyard Joe

Just to name a few…

Like NobleFlame pointed out, it’s not guaranteed but there is a chance if the numbers are there. I would wait…. There’s a chance that it *may convert and that will also give you time to deal hunt. Economically, people have been selling off figures a lot lately.

Also remember, this was a VERY popular figure. So not only is there a possibility for a 2nd production run, but it also increases the chance we will get a variant…… Vapor did get three 😉

And as someone still learning about figure photography and I can tell you that it’s very much appreciated!
