I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Gorgeous, but you know that's gonna be more than Ivy. My wallet is screaming obscenities now.

Edit: Didn't see she's up at AmiAmi, so they have her MSRP'ed for about $130 USD. GOOD LORD.

This is what I was afraid of. I knew with that base, this piece would be up there. Baroness was $115 MSRP and Pinhead was $110 MSRP... I figured $130-150. Le sigh. At least it's on the lower end of the guess.

Hopefully she won't be undersized like Domino or worse, Catwoman Returns.

You've got more resolve than me. I'm officially out on new Kotos, and that includes Bishoujos, ArtFX+ and all else. I promised myself that $90 was my ceiling and that's it. Looks like the Chun-Li (v.2), Katana and Supergirl (v.2) are the swan songs for me. Barring a fantastic sub $90 deal I've got to hold dear to my principles. It was fun.

I think its a bit too much with the price creep too. But I've decided to limit myself to just this line from next year. With prices of 1/7 reaching higher and higher, its not sustainable to collect multiple lines.

The stupid piece of hair doesn't look as bad here because the rest of her hair is flowing that same way. On Ivy it's a trainwreck of distraction.

I'm very tempted to get this. The body language, eyes, and base are killer.

I guess she's not TERRIBLY undersized... taller than Jubilee seems to work. But I'd think she'd be taller than Kitty (maybe she's slightly oversized?).

I hear you and feel your pain. There are a few that I'm biting the bullet on because I love the characters and the depictions that much. But most of the others I will wait on deals for or just skip completely.

It's a struggle because Koto does such great work and I appreciate the way they listen to suggestions and try to apply it into their releases. But the increasing prices versus the decreasing entertainment budget is becoming a bridge too far for many collectors.
