Yeah I agree. Luckily I was never in this to complete any kind of set. There are only a handful of characters from this game that I am interested in owning a statue of.

If her and the mech come to roughly equal a 1/4, least she would be on the lower end of the norm.
But I also do agree about the edition size + price versus a lower / more limited piece.

Good thing for me...I dont play OW. Means I dont have to collect the people I would have played as.

We just unveiled the statue at Anime Expo. Here are some quick snaps. Free domestic shipping when purchased at the convention.

We saying / thinking the same thing / way...just you think double and I think triple. I am sure if she was 4 or 5 times the size for same price, we would agree it was reasonable what compared to size.
There is no way that she is 3x the size of Reaper.

Maybe not purely in height, but I bet she takes up closer to 3 times the volume / space.

...Reaper maybe less so, but Widow, then Tracer looks to be even less than window.

No way she is only 2x
I get ya, its a big or bigger jump than expected.

My limit has increased over the years, so I just dont see it as that crazy.
Also since Im not into getting them (waiting on Starcraft ), I didnt have the feeling of only paying 150 to contrast against.
friggin Lego sets Im looking at lucky if under 150

Thanks for the pics. I think that first image really shows off the size of Meka. What an awesome statue

No problem. Wished I had brought my camera. Give it some time, some high res photos from Anime expo should surface online.

That's exactly what I mean by size. I am referring to volume/space not height. I don't believe she takes up 3x more volume/space than Reaper. And while Reaper is the only one I am using as comparison it's the only one I need considering he and the other ladies are the same price.

There are several factors that come into play not just volume/ space. Complexity and paint application make a big difference too. That's my personal opinion on collectibles in general.

Thanks for the pics and video! I do have to agree with others that the price seems a bit high in comparison to the other pieces released. Should have been $350 or $399 with free shipping at least.
