Looks so cheap to me. A plastic hat. 

[smokeindaeye]

Just saw this. I'm on the fence about this one not knowing how it looks and feels in person. Also not sure how to display it but I guess we'll have to see how it is priced.

I haven't, based on the last releases and quality, I'm assuming this will be no different. Looks like it's literally frosted plastic, but for optimism, maybe it's something different. I really don't get the appeal of something like this at all unless you're a die hard arsham fan who loves the Yankees. 

He should do smaller editions priced more with exceptional quality. The hollow figure was such a letdown to me when I had it in hand. 

[smokeindaeye]

Really inknart? I thought the hollow figures looked really amazing and was sorry I missed out on them. What was the issue, the durability of the material or do they just look cheap in person?

archeological objects from the 18th century, that's antique not archeological.

[kuni]

I’m sorry but I think Arsham is a hack and that his schtick is getting old. To each their own though.

and apparently he thinks the actual existing sculptures on Easter Island are fictional.

I keep starting a comment, then going back to something else, then find myself drawn back to the comments like a moth to the light. And what could one say? “Preposterous” popped into my head without warning, and being a word I haven’t used much I double checked the definition. Yup, that’s the word!

[19818914]

I'm going to get one and hang it on the end of my wall mounted coat rack.

[pada1]

I am going to get one and wear it.

Knowing it's by Arsham, I suspect this will be very expensive.
I also can't make up my mind about this.  Is it a stunning and innovative new series?  Or is it just crap?

Shall we start a new trend? Since we are not allowed anymore to open packaging...

[J0NNY]

From the picture this looks really nice, it’s also the first relic to really interest me. I am looking forward to finding out more about this one

[smokeindaeye]

Just went on sale but at $1,200 I'm going to pass on this one!

[posterbob]

OK, I can't believe this sold out at $1,200.

[lv90210]

wrong price.

[kuni]

I can think of 1200 things I'd rather spend $1200 on.

[NYart]

Anyone actually buy it lol? Bet he sold a couple dozen and had to pull stock to claim a sell out

[posterbob]

Honestly, I think it was "sneaker heads" who didn't set a max price in their bot. I cannot see a profit from this.

[FЯ]

Lol those people on ebay, still some there for £700

they thought it would be $500

Each one is losing at least £250

They are going to go pretty fast

[coller]

might as well be a dunce cap

[FЯ]

green is sold price
others on there beneath this one are the dunces

bingo

I good portion of the sales sold for that exact reason. just prior to the release, I went on eBay and searched for this item. there were at least 3 listings for this relic, all listed around $900. at least one of those listings had multiple items and already had one sale at $900. the second the item listed on Arsham's site for $1200, the other relic from the multiple listing went up to over $2k and the other two listings sold immediately at $900 - which will obviously never be fulfilled.

I always find it funny watching sneaker head flippers trying to flip in a market they no nothing about. the fact that they thought the flip price of $900 would have made them a profit is hilarious. They clearly don't know Arsham.

[inknart]

I have a feeling his market is going to crash, hard. There is no way gimmicky stuff with zero artistic value like this is sustainable. He should do a Supreme collaboration for his fan base.

[mrmrmr]

two sold for 1800 and 1900 on the bay
