Unfortunately I have not yet graduated as a warrior. In the meantime, here is a photo of my twin

In the UK, shipped and with customs, you will spend over £3,000 for this piece. That's over $4,200 guys. I don't know how this hobby got here

We (as in collectors) allowed and even encouraged it.
I'm sure there are people who stopped when they saw a $500 1:4 piece, but many more stayed or jumped on so now we are talking $800, $900, $1000, $1100, $1200, even $1300 (Aloy) for a 1:4 statue.
Unless there is a massive decline in demand all I see is prices climbing to maximize revenues and profits for those involved.
I cannot imagine who buys a 1:1 $7000+ statue, but clearly they exist as new ones shown off this week.

I was all in, but even I feel lately rethinking plans as prices keep climbing each year.

With Sanity I saw it as a great way to pick up neglected, but still popular, Batman characters. These are so out there it seems like a burden.

Still down for Silver Swan even though this might be the last statue she gets.

Good point, if they made a Diana, Donna, Cassie, Yara 1:6 diorama I'd pay $1300 for that.

Add Hippolyta and Nubia and I’m sold. Diana looks great, but I’m not too thrilled at the design for this diorama.

Sure, but then be $2500 as I'd need Artemis too, so I went with the four core Wonders.

Beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules, Princess Diana of Themyscira fights for peace in Man's World. A continuation from Batman Sanity, XM worked with David Finch to bring to you Wonder Woman Courage. This Colour Version highlights all the bright and varied colours of the Wonder Woman’s villains and foes, for collectors and comic lovers to appreciate! This beloved character is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the high quality finish..

Batman Sanity focuses on Batman’s hold on his own sanity as his rogue gallery surrounds him. For Wonder Woman, the team seeks to create an art piece that encompasses and encapsulates the core of who Wonder Woman is. The Queen of the Amazons is powerful, inspiring and strong. And one thing for sure, she is courageous and undeterred even in the face of danger. Wonder Woman Courage David Finch depicts the foes of our Amazonian Warrior crowding and closing in on her. Despite the danger that lies beneath, she dives in, resolute in her path, with grace and courage.

As Themyscira's emissary to Man's World, Diana has made it her duty to lead by example, even if the differences between her birthplace and new home sometimes present hurdles for her to jump. She has come to represent the possibility and potential of life without war, hate or violence, and she is a beacon of hope to all who find themselves in need. She stands as an equal among the most powerful Super Heroes, with a sense of purpose to protect the world from injustice in all forms."

A three paragraph description and not a single name or description for the villains?

Yeah I know what they are now, but it took a long time and XM wasn't and still isn't helpful on that front.

Should have had Giganta looming over her in the back...seems like a no brainer
