Looks like it's a removable helmet. I love the face, it's gorgeous.

These look awesome! Definitely on my want list.

I remember posting in another thread that these things were likely to be $100 each in the future. It looks like it's going to happen much sooner than I thought.

They'll keep going up and it's going to make a lot of people be very selective. I don't think they will make a lot more money as a result, unless they start doing better versions of characters they've already done, because they've already released the most popular characters. I know there was some speculation about the Edward Scissorhands bishoujo being $90 as possibly having something to do with the licensing fees or some such. Well I guess we have our answer.

Why are these becoming more and more expensive? I love these statues. And yes the detail are good. But. I will have to start cutting back.

[Griffon]

Increasing materials & factory production costs? Noticed the more detailed & bigger the bishoujo, the higher the price rises. Unlike Thor & Scissorhands (RRP $90 each) Spider Gwen, Harley Quinn V2, & Wonder Girl are around $70. Lucky Chloe is detailed but smaller (1/8 scale) hence why it's $70.

If the whole industry wasn't having MASSIVE and rapid price increases I would think it was Kotobukiya but I just can't believe so.

China is trying to flex its muscles as far as it's worth as a production locale.

I'm still able to get most Bishoujos for ~$50 if I wait so I'm fine with that option.

Thor and Loki may backfire on them a bit. Though they are very recognizable as movie characters they along with some of the more recent designs like Squirrel Girl are drifting away from sexy and revealing.

They don't all have to have the same body type but these things have always had an aspect that satisfied a guy's inner perv and I don't believe it's best to deviate from that. Of course this may be licensor push back.

People loved the super slutty aspect of Jason and Freddy but these and Scissorhands & Chucky are devoid of that edge.

T&A & Horror go together like PB&J.

In all honesty, I'm not in this line for the huge tits and round ass. In fact, I find it a little uncomfortable buying and having REALLY sexy female figures.
I love how Starfire is with her "package" and it wasn't awkward for me to get her as how hot she is,
because that's how Starfire is supposed to be.
As long as I find the faces of these bishoujo versions attractive or cute, they are fine for me.
For me, some characters can do without the exaggerated "assets" and if they force it to make a character look way too sexy just to fit in a line,
I'd probably pass on it. Like what Megahouse did with Android 18 for their Dragon Ball Gals line.
They made her so sexy that the look they gave her just can't fit with how I see her character.

Where and how do you get them for that price? I would love to get them for that! XD
