Considering that Chronicle isn't doing anymore in house pieces a 1:1 RA will be expensive considering the cost of shipping product from China the US, not saying it isn't going to happen but folks should be prepared for the price

The Ra looks like a huge piece as well, which will probably require a higher cost for production than something like Anubis. I'm still down for the 1:2 Ra at roughly the current price point. 1/4 premium formats from Sideshow are often up around $600 these days, and these are more complicated pieces judging by the paint app and level of detail. So I don't personally see the price as unreasonable. It's not ideal of course, but factory prices have skyrocketed over the last year or so.

I remember Paul saying that Ra was smaller so shouldn't be as expensive.

As for these busts. I think they'll sell pretty well.

Oh really? Even better! Thanks for the info Fremen! I would buy all three half scales if I didn't have the 1:1 Anubis and Horus.

That's what he said. Anyone else remember? I think it may be in one of the threads.

Wow, pricey. I was excited for these, but it looks like I'm likely out sadly.

It's way too much for me, doubly so after the high shipping rates and import duty is added.

Paul said that the bust is a copy of the one they made for the actor and that he was rather small, so it's not that big of a piece and his guesstimated price was under 1k, or it might have been 899. Of course we know how that goes so in the end it'll probably be 999-1099.

I'm probably being alittle too anal about it and being not quite understanding on how scaling works for parts. I imagine a 1:1 Arnold bust would make the 1:2 look dorky. But I blame the $750 tag just the talons and chest areas look off to me.

I was shocked at the price too. These are more than the SS Wolf LSB and the price on that had a huge backlash. Unless the ES is super low, I don't know how well these will sell.
