Beautiful, every piece Prime 1 are bringing out is pure gold.

[@whipcreation]

Yes that is a beauty right there

Prime 1 dante ? This i like . My body's turning on, money needs spending.

[@whipcreation]

And you probably got your stimulus cheques too right?

[@whipcreation]

For sure man!

[@allisknu11]

At this rate, we need 10 stimulus checks! I only kid. Going to need to make some more disposable income for statues and art.

[@CaBdosdos]

Lets see this version or the half scale? What do you think.

[@whipcreation]

Depends If you prefer Dynamic pose(1/4 scale) or Museum pose (1/2 scale)

Getting all three DMC statues from Prime1...but I just have to say I got an email from Prime1 saying Nero will be delayed even further to practically 2021...originally suppose to be June 2020 to Oct 2020, but now its changed to Dec 2020 to Mar 2021...but I say it probably won't be shipped until maybe Feb 2021. Its delayed due unexpected difficulties in quality checks in production. If corona virus is bad enough causing delays and then having QC issues makes delays even longer. So far no word on Dante statue as its start date is Sep 2020 to Jan 2021 and so far its Sep already now of this post. So who knows I might be getting Dante before Nero or I could be getting all three Dante, Nero and Vergil all shipped around about the same time or just months apart from each other...that's going to be heavy on the wallet all at once. Oh well at least I have some more months to save up even more til then if that's the case. Dante looks awesome no matter which swap outs you have, DX version you have plenty of swappable options, swords, guns, rocket launcher and I'm glad I'm getting the DX versions of Dante and Nero. Though Vergil lacks swappable parts which is the only down side...but still looks great anyway.

P1 statues usually take 1-2 years before it delivers

[@maskedreaper]

@@whipcreation Its suppose to be a 1 year wait period NOT a 2 year wait period. I PO Nero in July 2019 and it probably be either Feb or Mar 2021 so that's 20-21 months. So not sure about Dante as sideshow release dates of Dante now seems more accurate than P1 release dates as it mentions Dante will be Jan 2021 to May 2021 but so far P1 haven't notified me if delayed or not. If Nero is delayed does that mean Dante is delayed too and if so does than mean Vergil is delayed too...I guess this is what production is like when one statue is delayed another get delayed too because of production halts the others. Funny thing though is that they keep releasing more statues up for PO and yet people complain about the backlog of statues yet to be released...so statues up for PO now of this post will be released in 2022. For example Zatanna statue won't be until Mar 2022 and that's if its NOT delayed...and if its delayed another six months it will be Aug 2022...that's a long wait.

99% of all P1 statues and other licensed companies like XM, ECC, etc are always delayed. And communication is always fairly poor. Probably only sideshow is better with shorter timeframes. But yeah it’s the norm that we don’t like but we cannot do anything to prevent it

[@maskedreaper]

@@whipcreation US residents prefer Sideshow because its distributor for the US and there for can get economy shipping prices...But if your someone like me who lives in Australia or you live in Europe or anywhere else shipping cost are not going to be much better with Sideshow because you don't get economy shipping. Another problem with Sideshow is that you can't get special exclusives to P1 and so you have to go direct. Funny thing I found out about XM studios is because its based in Singapore it only does countries surrounding and close to Singapore and the only way to get XM statues is through a distributor...but there really isn't a good distributor in Australia for XM statues and so XM statues are hard to get. Distributors are funny as sometimes I don't really trust them as their prices are all over the place as their prices are either cheaper or more expensive than direct when you do the math. You either save or get ripped off.

I fee you man. Living in Australia means you get hit with huge shipping prices from everywhere. I’m fortunate enough to live in Hong Kong which is right next door to the statue making factories located in southern China. I pay around $30 on average for each 1:4 or 1:3 scale statue
