ES should be low.

Only the hardcore junkie collectors for this line-up at that price.

I currently own less than 15 statues in my collection. Not sure I qualify as a "junkie".

Anyway, still not sure I will be spending the money on this one. I think I have plenty of time to think about it.

How the heck does GG prices these? Seriously over priced! Just give me the soon to be over priced Lucky then I'm done with this line.

I guess they think if Sideshow can keep raising prices on their level of paint and QC, they've gotta raise their prices too since their QC of late has been rather noteworthy

Well, it is strange that the Walking Dead Michonne Statue, being a licensed piece, is actually MUCH cheaper than the Honey Trap girls.

I can see that the level of detail is higher in the HT girls, but $200 higher? I'm not sure about that. Then again, Gentle Giant has been number one in terms of QC.

ordered whisper, but will pass on this one, I figured they would all be over priced, so will only get the ones I find nicest.

Crazy price and still no storyline. All the others should be far less than Whisper. Now I guess the prices will be in the same range. Gentle Giant is just playing with people. The edition is TBD like Sideshow too. These are only for Gentle Giant fans with money to burn. For the price of the full set I bet you could get a perfect commission of your favorite character from a top sculptor.

Look closely at the HT girls and you'll see Whisper is obviously the most detailed of the group, followed by Derby. It makes sense that they would cost more simply due to the fabrication involved.

Like I stated before I see the other three girls priced significantly less as they're much more simplistic. Maybe just marginally more intricate than the recently previewd Walking Dead Michonne statue. Now I could be wrong but I see them being around her price range or slightly more, but definitely less than both Derby and Whisper.

If that ends up being the case I think it might have been smarter on GG's part to mix the releases up a bit more rather than release the two heavy hitters out of the gate and put collectors off on the line entirely because they're under the impression they'll all be priced similarly. Either way it's going to be interesting to see where the line goes with these two out of the way.

I think Lucky and Katya are more detailed than Fireball and Derby.

I am pretty sure that GG is determined to get the same amount for all the girls.
