But I do think PCS is a lot more popular now than then. Of course productions costs are more too.
But you have to admit somethings even outsell your expectations.
A Raiden could be gorgeous and to me has bee the face of the franchise MK at least as much as Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
How does Cinemaquette do it with the Guyver?
I'd love for PCS to be able to do some high end stuff like that even if at higher prices.
Still hoping for some lifesize Arnold busts. Chronicle's are great but at 1/2 they're just "more stuff" to me.

Keep in mind just because someone is selling something doesnt mean they are making any money at it.
There are companies owned by people with very deep pockets who are doing it for fun, even if its not very profitable.
Its not that I thought you were arguing, its that I have actual facts to support my perspective. Im probably the only guy on the planet with comprehensive data on high end MK collectibles. So I dont like the term 'Jerry believes' as it implies my perspective is not fact-based, just a 'hunch'.

I thought that when I wrote it and that's why I added the "from sales" part.

I sold my MK9 Scorp and Subz and they were awesome, i feel how far PCS has come in recent years that these MKX ones should be stunning.
Interested for sure.

Well they are life size and seem to be head accoutrements.

I'm all 4 PCS growing their company and if these busts will help them do so, I approve.
I LOVE my MK9 busts. The MK9 designs for me are a perfect blend of a modern take of the characters while retaining the old school charm. The MKX designs are nice but for me they Tommy Boy'd feel of the characters. Tommy Boy'd meaning the my pretty pet scene.
I hope these sell incredibly well, but i would be surprised if they matched the orginal sales of the first set. While multiple people posted saying they would buy, I don't expect current owners of the originals to be repeat buyers, as they have had their itch scratched by purchasing the first set. This segment of collectors is the target market and I'm just not sure the demand is there. But I trust your judgement, time will tell.
I'm biased as I proudly own the orginal set, but I would MUCH rather see a 1/5 -1/6 scale verses diorama line of MK statues. I think this line would be much better received than a reboot of the busts.

Perhaps they're masks?

I own the MK9 busts and I will definitely get these if they are busts as well. These designs are different enough to warrant these versions and I believe a lot more casual fans have picked up on PCS busts at least as indicated by their Instagram posts.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
