Thanks!

Nope, this is definitely not a Kotobukiya mandated policy!

No concrete details I can provide at this moment, it's definitely something we are considering after seeing all of the interest on here!

Not currently to my knowledge, but I will pass along the suggestion!

Thank you for your comments. We definitely try to take our customers' opinions in mind when determining the prices for our statue. We try to do our best to provide the best quality product at the best possible price for everyone.
The BISHOUJO series has been around for almost ten years now, and we've seen a lot of changes in the industry over these ten years. Along with improvements in technology that have allowed us to make more detailed pieces, the costs involved with production have also increased, so it's a balancing act.
Scarlett in particular is a highly detailed piece with a lot of parts. That being said, not every statue we will release will be as elaborate or cost as much (we are trying to keep the MLP under $100, for example), so the range will vary.
Sorry it's not a very straightforward answer! TLDR; the prices will depend on the industry and market trends, but we always try to take the customers' opinions into consideration.
