First chase in the wild!

Postby willievee » Tue Jan 01, 2013 7:55 pm

My fiance and I found our first chase in the wild today! It's a metallic wonder woman. The box doesn't have the chase sticker on it, but it looked very metallic and we didn't have wonder woman yet. Got it home and opened it, and it is clearly the metallic version. So cool! How common is it to find chases that are in boxes without the chase sticker?

Congrats. It is a great feeling, isn't it. I found my first chase during Halloween season and it was a GITD Jason. The funny thing is I don't like horror movies. I did keep it though since it was my first chase.

Congratulations....awesome find. It does happen where the sticker comes off, was never placed on, or more commonly, sometimes the wrong Chase sticker is placed on.

Like everyone has said, it is common for that to happen. Probably the reason you found it! If it had a sticker maybe someone without the knowledge you have of a chase being metallic would have grabbed it! Congrats on your first chase by the way!

Thanks! I was super stoked to find her. I realized that I haven't been looking that closely at the figures themselves, just if the box had a chase sticker. Guess I'll have to go to my usual spots and look at their pops a little more closely!

Congrats! How awesome! :D She sure is a beauty.

I found her in our comic shop before I was an avid collector and the shop knew to list her for $45 so I said "pft!" ... IF ONLY I KNEW NOW! ](*,) ](*,)
