Everything is basically various shades of plastic.
The PVC Marvel Gallery piece I have (Cloak & Dagger) is just about one of the best value things. Less than $50, durable, and I like the composition, design, and sculpt.
I wouldn't have been motivated to pay $250 for a polystone version, so this was right up my alley. I also knocked it off it's perch once and it didn't suffer any damage. Another huge bonus.
As eye candy, it really doesn't matter what this stuff is made out of. You either like the looks of it or you don't.(IMO)
Conan looks good- though the left arm seam is far from ideal. Price seemed a bit high to me, but I guess it's in line with a similarly scaled HT figure with switchouts. I'd always prefer a fixed figure statue though, as any arm position as high, or higher, than shoulder level creates a compression in the shoulder/neck area that action figures aren't capable of, and the lack of which always looks cheesy to me.
For US customers Entertainment Earth has it for pre-order for $225 with free shipping.
