The downside is that figmas are imported and, in many cases, come with large price tags and occasional GoodSmile Company online store exclusives. A good example is the recently released Twilight Princess Link figma. The standard release comes with the typical stuff you'd expect from Link, the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. The exclusive DX Edition comes with those, plus the Ordon Sword, Bow & Arrow, Hawkeye, Clawshot, and Ball & Chain, the latter two having real metal chains. You get pretty good quality and stuff for what you pay for, but they can add up quick.

Tracer looks great. This is one of those instances where I don't play the game, but think the character looks cool. Buuuuut...I think it's a pass. If I'm gonna drop money on a character I know little about just based on design, I'm going to have to go with the PAK Aranea Highwind. Sorry Tracer!

My wallet took a hit earlier this year when I bought the Figma Pyramid Head, the quality is very nice and it does seem like their QC across the board is pretty good. It is like you said though, the price feels high. Tracer here is only supposed to be 5.5" tall and she's a thin person so even if she came with something like a blink dash effect piece around $60 plus whatever other charges feels like too much. Even considering other accessories it is hard for me to rationalize it. I'm getting it basically just because no other companies are touching the license in any meaningful way and so while I'm sure it'll be a great figure I'll always feel like I didn't quite get my money's worth compared to other items with similar price-tags.

I personally never recommend buying figures of characters that you don't actually know about or like (especially at this price-point). I've heard about people buying a figure because it looked cool only to get rid of it later because eventually it loses that appeal to them or they learn more and find themselves disliking the character. Either way they lost money. To each their own though, buy what you want.
