Add to that factories are often resistant to those added complexities themselves and will price accordingly to make the job worthwhile for them. The vast majority of collectors won't appreciate the difference in quality and will just pass on the premium priced piece. All of this is a balance.

Please at least offer an additional version with that. I will gladly pay the premium for the superior option.
I do not mean any disrespect, but I just cannot accept the inferiority of a statue as definitive as a 1:2 Akuma without it.
Just please, think about this. You all have the pose, possibly the most unique of any 1:2 statue made. You have the tailoring, the sculpt (I have low doubts that John Cleary didn’t knock this out given his past work), and I presume wooden beads. Glass eyes on top would make this piece absolutely special.
I already have an idea of how expensive this will be for as a 1:2, which is already absolute high end for statues. For me, adding the extra premium is a no brainer for an ever better statue. Name the price and I will pay upfront for it, easy.
It would be a disappointment to think about what could have been for a statue that just held back on one aspect. You really have the chance here to make something truly definitive for an Akuma statue. I couldn’t help but think about “what could have been”, without that one ingredient.
It’s already ultra high end, I just can’t see holding back on it.
