The license cost must be ridiculous and the production run must be pretty limited. I couldn't justify the cost of the 2001 collectibles, despite it being one of my favorite films, and this is in a similar place with even more prohibitive pricing.

There probably is a market for this, but this is definitely one of those releases where a crowdfunding campaign would have been useful for determining viability... Unless Executive Replicas is well off with their more reasonable offerings and this is a "passion project" of sorts.

Yeah, $500 seems ridiculously overpriced for this figure. I can't imagine them selling many. As you said, either the license is stupid expensive, or they are wisely limiting the production numbers with the expectation that many won't sell. I'd love to get a 6" scale one though if someone were willing to make it.

I think this Figure will do well...
For there Market(s). From the serious
"got have" action fig collectors
to the Movie Buffs. I can see it.

Maybe....
they will make a "low end" Maria, for under
a 100 bucks. For the less fortunate among us =^)

I will be looking forward to the review, on Maria.

Movie was a classic. Didn't Mezco make one of this a few years ago? Maybe an updated One:12 version in the future? Bit too pricey for me, even for an all metal construct at 1/6. However I do think they priced it for that particular target collector. Enjoy.

They did try the crowdfunding way and failed last year. I am glad they still decided to proceed.

Lots of interesting details about the production and process in the botched campaign page.

I cannot post links, unfortunately, look it up on indiegogo.
