Of course, but look at the WoW statues. Grommash and Illidan are both a scale bigger and extremely detailed (I would argue more so) yet they are both $100 cheaper than D.Va.

I think the problem is we have been spoiled with the prices of Grommash and Illidan....

Sure we had it good until now but the open edition aspect of Blizzard's statues is the bigger issue when we talk about such a big jump in prices. Not to mention that if we accept the argument that manufacturing costs are rising and that D.Va reflects those costs shouldn't we be seeing a price jump for their previous releases? Those are still being produced as per their business model, right? So we should expect a price increase on Illidan and Grommash as well if that is somehow true.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

So I went ahead and decided to buy this. Living in San Diego I'm lucky to have dirt cheat shipping to Blizzard. I want to see this in hand.... and compare it to both Reaper and Tracer, and then compare to Grommash and Illidan. If I don't think the value is there (the non-dynamic pose is already strike one) I will simply return it.

I'm guessing Blizzard will have this at their SDCC booth offering free shipping to anyone that buys at the convention.

Eh, 10 bucks.... I'm not waiting in any SDCC line to save

I'd say seeing it at SDCC would satisfy my in-hand desire, but both Reaper and Illidan were impossible to get a good look at last year, both due to crowds and the way they had them displayed.

yea still can't pull the trigger on this, was trying to figure out why. Its not Dom's work, it is as always amazing, one of the best in the business, love his original sculpts too.

I think it is that I got into this OW line due to the price point of reaper, the open ES doesn't bother me at that price. Always expected Dva and RH to be more but like double maybe, 3x the cost and an extra $80 in shipping and now Dva is in the ballpark of the Magneto PF thats coming.

Not sure I love these enough for that comparison but I appreciate the work that has gone into it

Thanks for the kind words, Shonks.

She'll be at SDCC at the Blizzard booth. Drop by to take a look if you're attending!
