Please allow me a very last off-topic reply . Of course mine is a generic opinion, there will be exceptions.

Maybe it’s a matter of taste, we can discuss again when you own/see in person a 20th ann. or 1/6 Guts , a 1/10 Skull Knight or Guts on horse. I own 5 Sideshow PFs and 4 polystone statues from their Lord of the Rings line up. Then various other resin statues by square enix, gentle giant, kaitendoh etc. Imho, among them, the only one which can compete with an AOW is “The Spirit Collection of Inoue Takehiko Vol.1 – Musashi” by TK Holdings…

really guys, you can choose not to buy AOW’s statues for several reasons as I often do: (over)prices, dimensions, likeness, boring poses etc. You can think it isn't worth the hassle and I agree with you in most cases, like the 1/15 projects…

However if you don't see any difference of quality between AOW's and Sideshow's manufacturing, I don't understand how you can buy statues from AOW for those price tags… If you feel the same watching a 20th ann. Guts and a whatever Sideshow PF... I agree, you should quit with AOW, you would save a lot of money.
To get back on topic, It seems that they are temporizing too much with the official price as if they are afraid of possible customer reactions or want to taste their opinion first, trying to maximize the profits. Sadly I think they’ll overprice this new statue more than ever and if the price will be very close to 120,000 JPY as it seems for the exclusive, maybe this is one of the cases where it isn't worth buying.
