It's definitely not a cash grab, look how long F4F have been working on these statues and the fact is the Anime stuff is new for F4F and a lot of their core audience aren't interested.
So Saitama and Mugen only sold around 250-300 EX pieces so this has a knock on effect for future pieces until things get going.
Keeping the statue simple means it's going to cost less and that means more people are going to give it a chance.
A black base isn't always a negative as it does make the figure itself pop more and since these are Museum poses it should look pretty classy once you have a few of them on display and maybe the bases will be shaped so that you can display them like the image on the 1st page....
I'd definitely hold your horses on declaring yourself out on this line when we haven't even seen a full figure yet never mind a painted version, give F4F a chance and wait for more details including a price!
