Nothing new.
Remember all the hysteria over the LA series secret card and the bonus Ledbetter Bunny? People were paying close to $200 for that 3" figure.

I heard that there will be a few variants of Teeter, and it sounded like the production runs may be fairly large. If that is the case, the value of the orange Teeter will probably drop significantly.

I think the prices of all the jled sculpts will start to go down. More teeters and five ringo bears should satisfy demand and slow down the freenzy. I assume people will sell of Mr. Bunny's and Firecats to buy the new figures.

you think? i was thinking mr. bunny and firecats would have some rise in demand right now with people getting their first JLed at retail and wanting the others.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking as well.

I still remember that day when I called KR to order something, and they offered me the Fire, the Ice and the Sno at retail. They really mishandled those releases and fortunately I was in the right place at the right time. That was a sweet day.

Agreed. JLED Wheaty Wheat style figures have been consistently in demand since they are *quality* figures which are well executed and excellent interpretations of his fine art. If KR goes nuts with Teeter colorways, well, that may skew things for the Teeter. But KR generally doesn't do more than a few colorways per figure, so I'm not too concerned.

Regardless, a lot of JLED fans are happy that his WW style figures are finally getting some new members. That's the key point., for me anyway.

I think it was a Bondage Labbit that you were ordering. Yes, KR screwed that up big time. Guru told the forum that he would provide an update once KR decided what to do with the ice variants. But then out of the blue, KR sold the ice variants AND Fire-Cat to Kozik fans.

KR also screwed up the Mr. Bunny release. Forum members were told that the release would be a forum exclusive. Unfortunately, anyone and everyone was permitted to call in for the figure.
