They did this so well, and at this point you only have F4F doing 1/4 and Gecco doing 1/6, not a lot of choice for MGS fans but it's a lot more than what we had a few years ago and i think F4F have a good vision with these and are sticking to it.
I actually think Psycho Mantis is done better than Snake, i was never sold on Snakes pose but i think this is perfect for PM and that base is so well realized and executed.
I think $525 is good price, i thought we might have seen him at $499 especially with Snake having a motorized base, light up features and 3 swap out heads....but at least the price point is consistent.
Spikes price point is a one off, Jet is gonna be much closer to normal price of around $450, this was never ever gonna be $350.....and i doubt any other 1/4 pieces ever will be.

I disagree with you, with all respect.
"For every person who wants 1/6 you'll find one who wants 1/4."
I don't think so. I am a fan of 1/4 scale but the lack of space is something that affects most collectors. MGS Saga would has better sales in 1/6, maybe not with snake but with the other less important characters.
Imagine for example: Solid, Mantis, Fox, Sniper Wolf...uhmm and we would say Ocelot & Liquid.
6 1/4 pieces, how many of you are going to buy them all?
Then if they continue with MG2, MG3 etc we would say easily:
Snake MG2, Raiden, Solidus, Naked Snake, The Boss, Volgin, Eva, Young Ocelot, Old snake, Ninja Raiden, Liquid Ocelot, Venom Snake & Quiet.
Just my list (I could forget a few).
It is impossible (90% of the cases) you could buy them all and continue with other collections, or even just buy this line.
1/6 scale...maybe no all of them (difficult but possible) but most of the people how love the saga would buy 5-8 statues more for sure. That is my point and it is just an opinion, I imagine how market works but I don't know sure.
I love this mantis by the way.
Did you see the updated version of Snake? I consider it as a master piece, it surprises me you don't like it.
