About what I expected for the figureprints.
Awesome.Yes, I'm a bit of a dick. That being said, you'll only notice when someone deserves it.

75 dollars for figurines? Holy... crap.

I expected more for the figures given their WoW equivalents cost $125. Still expensive though.
It will be interesting to watch this develop.Last edited by Apples; 08-25-2008 at 12:22 PM.

I hope nobody was expecting anything cheaper.
A 'decent' quality action figure isn't exactly dirt cheap, and they're usually produced in batches.Yes, I'm a bit of a dick. That being said, you'll only notice when someone deserves it.

I guess it's a good thing I'd only want a figurine of ONE of my rockers. But still......my poor wallet.

I was expecting $49.99 plus applicable taxes in my area. Shipping and Handling to be determined after the weight of the product has been properly equated. Originally Posted by espher

It's a pretty amazing process, nevertheless. Here's hoping that as demand increases/technology becomes more refined, prices come down.

Sound like it takes about 4 hours to make each figure. We are getting off cheap. I'd be surprised if they are making hardly anything on this.
