The general consensus was that his ES was to high & he's out of scale.
In regards to him being out of scale technically from the bottom of the base to the beginning of his hair line he is roughly 18". Per wika street fighter Guile stands 5' 11" so he truly is a quarter scale statue. As a collector I feel that his main issue is not so much how he towers over Ryu, Ken & Akuma but more along the lines on how they switch art direction (from Udon to a more game accurate SFIV look) which created a contrast in style.
A debate amongst collectors whether or not he's out of scale is more than enough to deter the casual fan from buying.
Those interested in investing will not touch something w/ such a high ES and very little demand.
