Mileena is up at BBTS as well although it doesn't look like Jade is available.

Reasons to why I didn't order:

- Mileena pose is bad, jade pose is ok

- I hate simple bases.

- Given how similar they look and the fact that the bases are so simple, the price tag is simply too high. I do not understand how production for these could be high or if it even is. Even though for example sideshow sells for 50 $ more nowadays, you get more for your buck.

I would have probably ordered if they came with a decent base or if mileena's eyes would glow, even just a little or maybe if the price was lowered to 300.

I am new to this hobby and only own an ex lady death and some smaller ones but I do believe I got good taste and everything I type should be viewed as constructive criticism.

I like them exactly how they are. The bases make them all fit in nicely in the display just like the Street Fighters. The price with the discount on the PCS page is also fair for a that low run. So all is ok for me.

Yeah no worries mate, but the Klassic line will only have these simpler bases while the modern line will have more detailed ones. Jerry did say Jade and Mileena modern statues will likely come with the next game release so maybe you'll find one that suits your taste better!

If you are satisfied then that is nice but I do not settle with ok and intend to call it as I see it for the sake of the quality of future pieces. Both buyers and sellers will benefit from constructive criticism.

Mixed Media line are this way, I don't want base to go with my other stuff, but agree with you with nice base (I love my Conan The Prize!)
