GB you are a sass-a-frass today, easy killer! So, what you're saying is that it's not a stretched out 12" doll?

Id pay 300 for a figure that moves and can have plenty of different poses over the 1600 Plus... Avatar Neytiri Maquette Plus what else dose Neytiri do other then be big??? Lets not forget a light up base but oh yeah Hot Toys did that too...

$250 would have been A LOT more reasonable

Re: Avatar: 1/6th scale Avatar Jake Sully Collectible Figure

$315? Are they insane? That's about $100 more than it ought to be for what it is. Sure its tall, but its also super skinny; they essentially took a 12" figure and stretched it to 18"; any additional material is minimal.

I think your comment may win the prize for the dumbest one yet in this thread... do you really think the arms, torso, legs, etc. are the same thickness as a standard figure? This thing is all around massive in comaprison to a 12" figure.

Even when you take size out of the equation this is a highly articulated, unique body that is fully painted. That is where the cost comes from, not just stretching it out a bit

I agree,his comment was ultra dumb.

Cool, and I guess shipping would be the same since we're both in OK.

Yup!

Re: Avatar: 1/6th scale Avatar Jake Sully Collectible Figure

I can some what understand why its priced the way it is...

First: yes it is a whole 6 inches taller then the normal figures.

Second: The whole body needs to be painted + the head.

Third: LED light stand ( i could have done without this)

Forth: Its a body that has no useful application after this run. They cant reuse this body for anything else other then avatar atm.

and I am not sure about whats going on with the hair but the amount of detail put in to the back of the head with all the feathers and junk looks like a lot of work.

I was thinking Tron bike cost to be honest.

$315 for a plastic and with no edition size figure (maybe 2000 pieces or more)

Definitely a great explanation for price.

Having that said, at $315 and my low interest, this line's not for me. I was originally going to wait and see the pricing and what Neytiri would look like, but this is crossing the line a bit. Totally understand HT's decision, though that doesn't make buying it any easier.

Power to anyone who's been waiting for this and it does indeed look incredible. "Avatar" has kind of blown over on my end, but again, that's just me.

Re: Avatar: 1/6th scale Avatar Jake Sully Collectible Figure

I don't know what to do. I hate to pay PF prices for a 1/6 figure. I love it, but it's still high. I'll have to wait and see what others prices are.

When Avatar 2 and 3 come out people will go crazy for this guy on ebay.

I'd have to win the lottery to be able to afford this.

Re: Avatar: 1/6th scale Avatar Jake Sully Collectible Figure

Well, Jake Sully is $284 at Razor's Edge, so I'd assume he goes for a similar price elsewhere.

Re: Avatar: 1/6th scale Avatar Jake Sully Collectible Figure

Domestically, if you figure in reward points, he's $299.25 out the door at Sideshow. So I guess he's coming out about the same in the long run as other stores by the time you figure in shipping and no points.

Well I hope everyone has had a chance to say sayonara to the Avatar license It's no one's fault but Hot Toys this time.
