Just curious though, how an she be 18" in height when she's kneeling down? Unless she is twice the size of the other 2 girls....
Must be a misprint or they are saying she is in scale with the others...odd. This will be the last one from this line for me. Prices have gotten a bit out of hand. She is gorgeous though.

It doesn't say she's 18" in height but 18" in "scale!"

Translation - if she were standing straight up she'd be approx. 18" same as the other girls.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

The price is ridiculous. If spec F didn't offer a better deal, I would not buy this line.

There is no "in" on that posting. It reads 18" scale statue. I read it as being 18" tall lol

I'm not really understanding the price point on this one either. With Whisper it made sense due to the amount of intricate detail and accessories. Derby to a lesser extent seemed to justify her price point too, but with Lucky I just don't see it. The most I could see paying for this is $400. If GG insists on pricing these $200 higher than other statues in the same scale like the upcoming Marvel and Walking Dead statues then I'm out after Derby and I'll be passing on this.

You might want to wait and see what prices outside of ordering direct from GG look like. Derby was priced the same and could be had for $150 less than retail.
