I'm surprised that people are cool with these prices. I collect Japanese stuff (Figuarts, Mafex, Chogokin, Transformers MPs, etc.), so I'm used to paying more than I'd prefer for things.

But $70 for two 4-inch non-articulated figurines (Penny and Brain)? Or $50 for a nonarticulated Quimby? That's Figuarts/Mafex territory, price-wise, for small plastic statues.

Blitzway is, I think, associated with 5-Pro (same company?), which produces high-end diecast robots, like that really cool Getter 1. The Gadget figure, at that size and with those gimmicks, is the only one in the set that is even close to reasonably priced, if we're comparing to other import figs.

Economies of scale aside (smaller production run?), I wonder if the company is passing on the expense of licensing to us as well. And maybe there's a dash of opportunism/greed.

I think these are cool, and I may pick up the set, but the prices for the supporting characters are excessive.
