If this is the company I'm remembering, their prices are just way too absurd to even care

Prices are way too absurd for every company anyway

Isn't Darkside's Ada statue supposed to be (finally) releasing soon?
I look forward to seeing all the Leon reveal photos, but I'm sure my eagerness will quickly wane when I see the price.

Guys, be honest if you think I'm being over critical.....but, for the price, these statues just don't scream "quality" to me.
With companies like Infinity Studios, JND, and Queen Studios - (hell, even Oniri) putting out pieces with silicone, at the same price, to give us a heightened sense of realism - seeing something like this, which seems like a similar quality to Sideshow - just seems like a rip off.
I was underwhelmed with their Spock and with their Sarah Conner - now this....
Well, I guess I will save money, and no one is forcing me to buy it.......thank God.

I think the biggest issue for me is a lack of texture on their pieces - for example, Leon’s jacket is just boring. Maybe it’s the photography but it looks like a blown up 1/12th scale figure and not a 600+ dollar collectible.

You've got a point, let's say JND made a hyper real Ada Wong (oh snap I should go add this to the JND wishlist thread!) statue. She would be approximately the value of Darkside's Ada and Leon combined. I'd definitely trade two Darkside statues of Ada/Leon for a JND Ada.

In all fairness, I think JND's USP favours "real" people's likenesses, rather than comic or CGI based characters. That said, and credit where it's due - the P1 Devil May Cry Black label piece does highlight what is possible using the hyper-real approach......at least at prototype level.
