I don’t want to start a war because everyone had lemons from one company at some point and some figures are crap, but this is what it boils down to.
Okay, yeah it's not just importation costs but still I'm really into Overwatch and I've got a problem with paying more than $30 for a toy that doesn't really show it (typically by size). For example, sticking with Figma, I would like to have the Pyramid Head they did from Silent Hill 2 but that thing seems to be like $40 minimum and is just over 7" due to his helmet. To me on principle that's an expensive figure for its size even if it has great quality. If nobody else indicates they'll be doing Overwatch figures I'll probably be forced into getting Tracer from Figma but I'm really hoping NECA gets to pump out some $20 alternative options because there are multiple heroes I'd like to have and three for $60 sounds better on the wallet than 3 for ~$100.
