These look AMAZING but I can't see them selling too many of these.
With All the different movie & comic merchandise that these companies are pumping out, it's gonna be hard to justify spending $300.00+ per statue on an original created line.

IMHO, being original has some massive benefits, at least to some people! You get to create your own fantasies and have these wonderful characters be part of that imaginative creation.

I see these statues as a "clean sheet", you get to appreciate them for what they are, with none of the attachments / baggage that comes with movie / comic icons.

From a pure artistic perspective, I would be happy to pay the same price for these as any I.P. derived statue, especially if they turn out as good as the prototypes.

I wish more companies were branching out to create their own lines, theres a purity that comes with doing that, and it also means they can be as creative as they want.

sorry for the double post but couldn't wait and didn't want to edit in case you missed it

‎Celine - I'm checking on the dog tags + charms for you. I think that's still TBD. However, they seem really popular, so I'd say it's very likely they'll be included. As for Fireball, we weren't sure whether she'd be ready in time for SDCC or not. Our team got her in right under the wire, which is why she was in the case, but she's not on the site yet.
