No they aren't, their 1/4 Superman was $750, most of their 1/4 statues are this price and roughly the same height without the girth.

Had PCS not switched to FedEx for international, and stuck to USPS like they had before, I would be buying everything from them. Now, the jump from £30 duty fees to £100 duty fees , have hung me out to dry.

I didn't expect this, I really like it. I've told myself not to buy anything until the Prime 1/CP Aliens are on order, but I'm tempted by this for sure...

I did not like this, especially the base. The representation of the sea was not a good option for me. I would perhaps prefer a clear resin,because this looks one of those statues that gonna grow old not very nice and fast.

Kitana and Mileena had a combined ES of 700 for the cast; they are not nearly as complicated, the details are mostly in the fabric.
Yeah there are so many factors on price, who even knows how much the lovecraft license is.

Also Jerry did keep the prices on Kitana and Mileena low as an apology to those who ordered the 1:3 Ninjas.

I'll be skipping this and the Green Ranger all because of prices, i don't like it but that's the way it is.
