Iron Studios pricing vs value is so far out, it's insulting. I don't often wish people or companies ill will, but when I see pricing structures like this, I can't help but wish to see these products rotting on shelves.

Literally ANY anime toy maker could crank out these products at the same scale and paint quality (in PVC) for a fraction of the price - shipped!!!

?? Why not just order from Spec Fiction then? They already have a payment option. Also I don’t think there is tax. At least not for what I have been buying. Not sure if it is dependent on where you live or not. But that’s definitely $ saved.

You’ve never heard of Spec Fiction? Your life is about to change and your wallet is going to hate you for it.

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

Wow. This went from a must have to finish the collection to a “what are they thinking”?
The details are low on this (matches the cartoon so that’s fine) and instead of 1/10 like the rest of the line they went 1/20 scale which also could still been acceptable but at that price?!? Easy pass. If this is where they are starting then I needn’t look again as it won’t get lowered enough for me to bother with. This would still be expensive on the 1/10 scale. Too bad as I was very interested.

Yeah that's more then the second Sentinel, and a little smaller, but you get a 5 head dragon plus 7 characters, it's like 12 characters in one massive Diorama of 55x55x55cm, but I agree with you, if we take the 1/10 Venger that cost $250 and was kind of big too, I think if we take that way this should be around 900 to 1K
