CDMW-11 The King's GOLDEN Wings

That is just beyond stupid. CrazyDevy never ceases to amaze me.

What's really sad is how many people are going to waste even more money on their poorly executed projects.

Certainly living up to their name. Actual gold on these is just totally unnecessary and dumb.

On that note, they'll probably sell like crazy.

As anyone in the business of a fan's market trend will know but never say; Stupid sells.

They aren't getting MY money for such an idiotic endeavor, but they'll likely make plenty of cash back from the gotta-have-it addicts.

In this economy? I can't applaud their efforts, but I do say more power to them. A fool & his money are soon parted. If they found ways to do the parting, so be it. Wish I had thought of something so lucratively dumb, so to speak.

Shouldn't this have been posted in the KO and 3rd Party Toys section?

Holy God, what a waste of material. Who would put gold on a toy?!?!? Why couldn't they just chrome-plate it with gold paint? Again, just a waste of real gold. At least, I think it's real gold.

I was almost tempted to consider these, with how much I love Predaking... but not with that crap. That's going to just make the price more absurd, and then you've got import costs... Meh. Can't justify it to myself anymore.

It's probably vacuum metalized rather than actually plated, so honestly, this can't add more than $5 or $6 to the cost, if that.

Yeah, might be. But if it is, might make Predaking top-heavy. God I hate figures that are top heavy (ex. Masterpiece Seeker mold w/ hip guards facing back)

Um, yeah, they may be expensive, but nothing CD has done so far comes close to "poorly executed". I've ordered sets 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8, all of which were very well engineered, and well worth what I paid.

Do I need gold-plated wings? No
Do I want them? Hells yeah!

Price was not the main issue mentioned but it is a factor when compared to similar items, perhaps you fail to see the point of my comment.

There's no reason to use actual gold on a toy, and execution refers to how they release product not the quality of the product, hence the reason for using that term ; ).

Currently, other third party companies make CrazyDevy's efforts look tacky and completely based on sucking every last dime out of the fanbase for their piece-by-piece releases as opposed to making an entire set to purchase as FansProject, etc does.

I know I'm not the only one who shares this sentiment, nor am I the only person to mention it. It's a bad business model. You want to be better than the competition, not thought of as sub-par. Just my opinion though. Nothing more.

i find it hard to believe until i see it in hand first had mine perorderd few months ago littel expensive on some stuff but i go for it they have not let me down so far so i will continue with them

Yeah, but it's probably working
