I got rid of mine, they are too small and way too light for the price.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I really don't get the ethusiasm for this line. I picked up the Rogue - it's a hollow PVC injected toy that is more akin to an action figure, but priced at a ridiculous $40-$50. I can appreciate the style, but some substance is needed here as well. IMO, this is not a statue.

congrats! Great looking packaging. Love Shunya Yama$hita's illustrations on the box cover.

But I passed because of the size, not because that they were PVC.

Still, great looking pieces.

Prejudice, is all.

You probably can't even pronounce Yamashi!ta's name.

There's really no mystery as to why someone likes or dislikes this line. As with any piece in any medium, it all boils down to a person's aesthetic sense which is always subjective and how much they're willing to pay. If you're a die-hard Shunya fan then these are must-haves. If only a little interested, or not into anime, than material, size and price will be a bigger factor in deciding to buy or not to buy. Personally, if there's something I really like or dislike, the most impassioned supporter or detractor always fails to persuade me otherwise.

Wow, that is rude.
What does being able to pronounce a name matter? He is stating his opinion on these statues, plain and simple, like everyone does here. I guess we are all "prejudice." I am starting to see a pattern in all your posts, rude and very critical, not on what we discuss here, but of fellow members.

That's how I am in person, I'm no sensitive fruit and I say what I want to say.

if you feel my posts are inappropriate then report them to mods and they'll take proper action.

Nah, I just know now that there is no reasoning or forethought behind what you say.

There is but not something you want to know.
