Here is the thing with nearly all Koto pieces. You have a window to get them well below retail then that window slams shut and the go way up. At least from my experience.

Was on the fence for this one.

Was thinking SF vs Tekken women. LOL.

Some people feel they're entitled to get their pieces for retail or below no matter how long they've been sold out.

Divide in collectors and consumers.

I've had pieces take me months a dozens of lost eBay auctions before I finally get one. I could have avoided that if I just paid 2x MSRP from the start. We all place value on our time.

Yup, time > money. Money is recoverable (just make more), but time isn't.

The Christie Montiero Bishoujo is straight fire.
If only it was in the bigger Bishoujo scale.

People that own them have stated Tekken next to other series they are a little bit smaller.

I have no info on the Tekken line, but there scales have been all over the place. For example, their Marvel pieces started quite small. This was way back in the beginning of bishoujo history when they produced Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, Emma Frost, Rogue, Psylocke and Scarlet Witch.

They've since increased the scale, but some still seem off. For example, Spider-Woman seems on the small side while both of the Ms. Marvel pieces seem quite large.
