well I'd say not sole reason, but major contributor. The game sold 3.5 million copies just in Korea, which was a 1/3 of the total global sales for the game. It got so popular that e-sports is almost the number one sport in Korea.. with tournaments actually broadcasted on TV like a football...
But they are also the product of a huge business crisis. In 1997, when the Korean economy imploded, thousands of middle managers were laid off, with no hope of finding new suit-and-tie jobs. They had tightly knit extended families, though, and as a result, access to moderate amounts of capital...

I wouldn't really call it Desperation, but incentive. Of course they want to sell them, it's how they make their money.
Also, I may be in the minority... but I don't think that they are over priced. Not only are they limited in number of statues made, but they are already painted.

Re: 3D Character's collection - Berserker update -
cool berserker armor.
Looks a little dense though. You could save a lot of that geometry for other parts of the armor though.
did you poly smooth each piece?
then again, if you aren't actually putting guts inside of the armor, you wouldn't...
i just hope games don't get blamed again. because that's what i do for a living is video games. we have jack thompson already, and rockstar's stupid fiasco. i don't think we need anymore.
