I guess it depends on what type of collector you are?
Me, my preference leans towards polystone/polyresin, as few components as possible, as little mixed media as possible.
I guess that's why i rate my 1/4 Gentle Giant pieces highly.
Sideshow Collectibles likes to introduce plastic/PVC elements, mix media (cloth) from time to time. Some companies go further, silicone portraits, rooted hair, glass eyes.

Sure, you could get a totally traditional statue, carved from marble / granite (unpainted). In the right hands a competent artist could probably capture a pretty accurate portrait in this type of medium - and something like that would be awesome. I can see the appeal.
Considering the discussions about "longevity".......I think it's proven marble / granite last a long time.

It’s just a quick video on the Facebook groups. You can’t decipher much from it. You see everything you need in that screenshot posted. You really can’t see a whole lot.

There are 3 dragons plus accessories. I don't see enough. Not to mention, the portrait is PVC.
I might be wrong, are the dragons PVC?

You can add two legs now. 
Sharon was sculpted and painted under her dress. I have no doubt it's the same here.
