Agree. Luz might have not as many tiny details & accessories as the Sucker Punch girls, but the face & body sculpt and paint job are outstanding.
As for Sucker Punch line pricing, I've been monitoring it on eBay for some time and none (except BabyDoll, which is an exception proving the rule) have significantly raised in price. In fact, I saw a couple of MIB Rockets selling for aroung $200 recently.
But this is market, after all, and manufacturer/seller can ask any price he wants. If there are enough customers willing to accept that price - that's good for the manufacturer, and what's good for the manufacturer is good for the whole industry, I guess. Perhaps GG are going to price the regular Honey Trap statues really low, and to cover their losses they have to price the exclusive one so high?
Just kidding, I know that sounds ridiculous)))
However, if GG overestimates demand and their pricing turns out wrong, market will correct it and we will see "real value" prices on eBay a few months after release. Just be patient.
To give you an example, a couple of MIB Sideshow Baby Doll PF's were sold for 200 euros (which is around $260 including VAT) on eBay recently, with official price $350.
As for Whisper - my humble opinion is that she has too much gear and all these hoses, air tanks and other diving gadgets just take attention away from the girl herself.
The only thing that could justify it for me would be that the gadgets are part of the character's history, but at this moment we know nothing about it.
To be honest, compared to the Sucker Punch line, these statues all seem a bit weird to me. Again, maybe its because the lack of history behind them. I might be interested in Lucky and the asian girl with the dog as the most classic-looking pieces, if their price is around $300.
P.S. Guys, don't write here the peak price you are ready to pay for these. GG are reading!
Maybe if we moan a lot about overpricing, GG will re-consider their pricing for regular edition?
