Abigail is sooooo much fun! Aside from the illustrious Chun Li, Abi is currently my favorite SFV character!

Followed by Guile, then Rainbow Mika, Ed and Alex!

I'd love to continue trying to convince everyone to make/buy my favorite Giant characters. But unfortunately with 2017 prices, and lowered ES, they'd be too expensive and risky for PCS to produce.

Both Oro statues are still available! Gouken as well.

I know right? The rate of inflation on this hobby is like nothing else in existence.

The cost of production is up. But it's to the point that it's killing its consumer base, and by proxy killing itself!

The secondary market is also in the toilet now. Because retail is so high, secondary market prices can barely exceed retail! And retail and ESs are so high, demand is low.

The industry needs to find a solution to Chinese production costs. Because at this rate statue cost is jumping roughly $90.00 every year!

Low numbers, higher prices, better QC, made inhouse/state-side.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

What all this time I thought oro and gouken was long sold out!

You will get new characters but I don't think they will be in 1/4

Too much saturation in the lines and scales. I think a lot of people have too many options now. And a lot of collectors refuse to mix lines. I don't mind having mixed media, ultra and Eric sosas line for ultimate sf display. Sad I can't do 1/3. That a$$ on alpha chun li!!!!

i would be interested in something like this, companies would have to downsize big time though i think. no way a model like this could support too much overhead

Yeah, it's weird. I thought both Ryu Ex's were sold out, as well as the 1/3 Scorpion and Sub...
