I think for the size and detail...it's kind of par for the course...just depends if Koto can match that proto.

Statue looks incredible, I was on board with PO until I saw the cost. Crazy that the SS PF is only 75 more.

At $500 I would agree with you. Still expensive but okay I get it. But $635 BEFORE shipping an taxes? Nah not for me. Koto has quietly been on the frontlines of crazy pricing. Just look at the Bishoujo line. I got into the hobby with that line. The prices on new Bishoujo's is insane for what you're getting. This Cable is an awesome piece of art but its a no go for me from a value prospect.

This has been kind of the problem for the last 12 years or so. Every time theres a gigantic price increase, there's always some kind of justification or excuse. I'll give koto credit though. They know that people will save them if they just increase the detail and size of the statue.

I really like this piece, but the price it's a really hard pill to swallow, maybe with some Sideshow rewards

Although it is a great statue, but at that price and scale I prefer DST Marvel Premier Collection Cable. at $150 it was very hard to beat and it has tons of detail.

Of course, now the price makes sense

Indeed. Two sixth scale items go up for PO on the same day, Clint Eastwood at $275, and Cable at $635. I know it's a bit apples & oranges, but still
