I'd tolerate the pose if the price was in the low $700s but even still I'm getting pickier now with poses as sculptors are so good these days. But Cammy is just not comparable to P1 comic Harley with the price so close.

Totally agree on the price, it's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. 950$ is a stretch for such a rather simple sculpt.

Crazy price for such a basic piece. Given how basic the piece looks, and how basic the base is. $750 max!
For $750 you can pick up Sideshow Rogue, which is an amazing piece. If i had $950 for Cammy, i would rather pick up the Sideshow Juggernaut.

I cannot see these Cammy pieces selling out any time soon.

If the PO were two years ago almost certain they would have priced her at $750. The repaint is a "value add" but it adds nothing fundamentally different to the statue.

Would love to add her to my Chun-Li. But as mentioned here a few times already the pricepoint is not on par with what you can get on the market regarding quality nowadays.

I think the price is fine, I mean have you seen that butt?!

The other Street Fighter 1:3s were near this price so it makes sense for Cammy to be too. Especially considering Cammy has a superior sculpt compared to the 1:3 Chun, Ryu and Akuma. And since they added the new paint, the detail for Cammy is much better than the other 1:3s. But as I said before, it’s subjective whether you prefer the new paint, but there’s no denying the higher quality and detail of the new paint app.

If I saw a 1:3 statue go up for pre-order in 2020 for less than $900 I'd be shocked. We're at the stage that $750 will be standard for 1:4 soon.

1/6 scale statues go for around $900 now....look at the XM Studios dark seid and wonder woman statue in 1/6 scale.

My guess is, $750 for a 1/4 scale is making collectors think twice, or at the very least be very selective.

I know have a list of wants, but have become selective to point of putting off pre_ordering anything.
It is half way through 2020 and i have not order a single 1/4 piece. Price + Shipping + Import plays a major factor. My collecting might end up amounting to 1 or 2 news pieces per year.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

While cammy sculpt is nice, It will never be a superior sculpt compared with Chun-Li, Ryu and Akuma. She is the most basic among all the PCS 1:3 scale.. IMO the reason why they repaint her is to attract more buyers as perhaps she is not selling well..
