That price is disappointing to read.
You sir are mistaken, they doing a few polystone statues every year and Berserk is the most expensive one so far. For example, 2014's Shingeki Titan was 64.000 JPY (and I was hoping for the same price for Guts): http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/4553/The+Colossus+Titan+TAKAYUKI+TAKEYA+Ver.htmlozuki said:mf cannot offer a better price just because they cannot control the cost to make a polystone statue, their previous figures are pvc as i know
i guess mf has no experience on manufacturing polystonce statues..
they have another femto to be released, wait and see
the Guts figure will release in next year and the quality of the exact product is also a question..

Polystone is a really hard material to work with and it is damn expensive thing, I think half of statues costs coming from materials and acrylic paints.
Hey buddy, no need to apologize, I meant no offense hereozuki said:oh thanks for the information! sorry for the stupid mistake
bruhaha69 said:Well, all we can do is stick to our principles and not buy it. I made that mistake with AoW for years and I won't repeat it with Good Smile or Max Factory. As cool as that statue is, I will not be giving them this ridiculous amount of cash for it. I just hope other collectors get into the same mindset over time. I know from experience how easy it is to justify the cost when you want something badly enough. No more for me, though.

RickP said:Mine was also broken when I got it; the legs were broken off the base. Thankfully after contacting Goodsmile and sending some pictures they sent me a replacement base.
It's now one of my favorite statues, I just love the dynamic pose and gruesome base.
Akebobo said:Thank you very much for the pics DirectDK.
Love the dynamic pose. Not a bad statue by any means, but I'm not overly bummed out to have missed this one.
Super- Send that chit back man, it's too expensive to accept damaged goods
sensui said:How long did this process take? I haven't heard back and is curious.....thanks.
RickP said:Well I sent the first e-mail on the 12th and got the replacement on the 27th but it would have been roughly a week faster if I had contacted my post office sooner.
