I know what you mean but between the capes and on some of them the accessories (i.e. Frank Miller's holding polystone rope) it's still got some breakables. It could be done in polystone and hold up, but I also get the PVC route is going to cut way down on breakages.

Plastic vs plastic

There is nothing wrong with PVC.
Stop being plastic snobs.

Depends on if you have a particular way you want you're statues to feel and look. PVC has a particular look and feel as does polystone. Just because they both have a plastic base doesn't mean the materials are the same.

That's like saying different alloys are the same because they share a base metal, doesn't work that way.

My guess is $180. The dark elf statue from Max Factory seems to have similar detail and was 1/5 scale, and it is about $160-170.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

The Max Factory Lineage II figures did not include a detailed base. If those can go for around $160-$170, I am inclined to believe Sideshow will charge more. Hopefully not too much more, guess we will have to wait and see.

$89 each. That's cheaper than most of us were expecting.

I might pick up Xiall and Kier. I don't like Gethsemoni here, she looks so plain compared to the other two. I'm a little hesitant going back to PVC figures again though. If they're not manufactured correctly, the surface can go sticky after a few years. It's happened to the leading industry giants so nobody is exempt.

These actually look really nice, the price caught my eye. 1/8 scales? Sticky surfaces only happen in high heat/humid environments. Most of the more premium companies use high quality pvc that doesnt suffer from this.
