i don't really get the appeal of Wraith.
It's like the DDP writers couldn't use Boba Fett so they just decided to manufacture and force feed us an "instant Bad-ass" character. I don't buy it. He's not part of the original line, so he's not on my must have list, but if i come across the variant, yeah i'll grab him, 'cause it is a cool looking figure, but i wouldn't pay more than retail for him. the history just isn't there with him.

If i can't find a wraith variant, I MIGHT pay $25 for one. If it's more than that. . . oh well, I don't have a Wraith variant.

It wasn't long ago (that's why there's not much love for Wraith) He's a DDP creation and came long after the Marvel run. Find DDP issue 31/32/33 (he's got a pretty cool story about Alexander (Destro's son) hiring him to break Maj.Bludd out of Blackwater prison. GrandSlam, ShipWreck, and BeachHead try and stop him... GrandSlam even shoots him point-blank w/some hi-tech grenade round and Wraith still ends up kicking their butts...)

Thats it! How long ago were these released? I had a friend that read the newer run of the comics but this was at least a two or more years ago was it not? Wasn't this when Destro was infected with a virus or something to that degree? Or am I thinking of something else? I stopped keeping up with comics when my monthly "Bin" exceeded $150.00 worth. Thats when I stopped, becasue thats just too much for paper despite the great art work.
pub. date of issue #32 is July 2004 Just long enough ago to find it in the 4 for a buck bin (that's how I got all the DDP series leading up to America's Elite) He's actually a pretty neat character, there's some earlier issues about how the suit came into being and how Halifax stole it from the Chinese... but I'm not sure on the issue that was covered in... they talk about it issue 31 though |

I want the variant for the simple reason that I'd like to have a complete collection. Well, complete if you don't include Gold PD Destro, Black Timber SE, and Yellow Stalker. But other that those it's complete.

If someone pays $1000.00 for a clear wraith, something is wrong. You could get piper, yellow stalker, gold ssdc destro, and black timber for that!!!!! Everyone is going nuts for this guy, the same thing happened with black head destro. I found two of them, kept one and traded one. I will look for him, but I will not pay THAT for him.

VARIANTS and Exclusives are nothing more than items designed for a secondary market and IMO ruin the fun of collecting figures as if you want all the line you have to pay out the ass for these thigns and thats not fun. I can see paying money for a custom figure that someone put time money and effort into but not something straight out of the factory. BOO To Variants and Exclusives.
Then its not Complete....but why Complete, If you dont mind me asking? Wat does it matter if you have a Destro....but dont have The PDD.......was PDD ever in the show? Comics? |

100% agree, it will never touch a 4 digit price range, well maybe in 50 years, but not before
