I am trying to stick with 1/4 scale for the most part, but this looks to be irresistible.

I have plenty and all are very close to prototype quality. 1:4 Ritual is my personal grail. Just peruse this forum and see for yourself.

thanks for the replies guys. They do awesome work!

Looks amazing but $250 for a 1/6 scale?? Have to think about this one.

Is that not fair price? What is normal? (Just started mid last year, so all my stuff is aftermarket, with the exception of some figures)

For something of the quality that Yamato produce, it's high but fair.

The pvc figures they produce originally retail for under $100 for a 1:6, but resin ones seem to have higher detail, but there are not the economies of production. The resin figures are usually produced in numbers of a couple of hundred rather than up to 5000 with pvc. This means painting is more intensive (less investment in tooling). The net result is a better/more detailed item with resin, but the costs increase quickly too. So.. It's up to you whether it's worth it, but take a good look at the painting and sculpting in the photos, it's what you'll get.

I have seen models of the Royo 'Touch of Ice' PVC version, 2 years after last production, go for $350+ on e-bay, bearing in mind it originally cost $90, that's a significant mark up. I doubt if the resin ones will show such a price hike once they become sold out, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't up to the $350-$400 mark.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the explanation Richard.

Very, very unique piece.....a must (if you can swing it) for diehard Harley fans IMO.

Yep! These are the kinda pieces that I love. I hate it when there is no artistic flair to a piece and it is just a blank museum pose. That kind of thing can be done once (I guess), but I really wish that more would be done in interesting new poses/bases/styles.

This is a beautiful piece sharkey. around the current price for this much artistry in a 1:6th right now. Tweeterhead's catwoman was the same. i'd go for it if you don't have any Harley Q's in your collection

The CW piece wasn't for me, but this one will be pretty unique from my other Harley pieces and intrigued me enough for a PO. I don't really care about ES, but I'm curious as to what it was for CW and her variant. I read 1000 on some sites, but think I saw 2500 elsewhere on the plate itself. I couldn't find any info for Harley.
