Looking at this figure, how is it going to be articulated? If anything, this one is going to be another Luna Freya scenario. With Luna, she had legs, but it was pointless. Her gown restricted almost all movement. Are you telling me that this will be different with Aerith? Only thing I can see if that maybe her boots/shoe articulation might be more apparent than that of Luna.

But then, you have to ask the question as to what is going through the minds of these designers. You have a figure like Aranea that has a lot more articulation, accessories and intricate design, priced at $150. Then you have this figure which pales by comparison, starting at the same price.

So there is obviously something wrong here with the pricing model, right?

You are right about these hitting the bargain bin (I remember Luna hit the bargain bin pretty hard). But that is missing the point though. You have to ask why every figure in PAK line is getting priced (MSRP) so high to begin with. It doesn't make sense!!

I only said, that the Legs HAVE Articulation.
From your previous Post it sounded like you say "Only upper Torso is articulated"

I can see that this Articulation is Limited because of her Dress around the Legs.

But on Luna Freya, her Dress is...COMPLETE around the Legs.
While Aerith Dress is not; you could cut her Dress open
(Where the Buttons are, in Front) to give the Legs more Freedom.

And the Price is 150$ because it is a Play Arts Kai

Same Size, Same Joints, same Price.

But as i said, i by myself would never spend 150$ for a PAK.
Around 100$ at Nippon is more how i like it.
Aerith for 107$ at Nippon is a VERY FAIR Price.

And to be Honest; 100$-120$ is not to much for a PAK.

I could also complain: "Bring Arts is to expensive for me, 70$ for such a small Figure, IS NOT OKAY"
And lets get to the Point: 60$-70$ is still to much for a 6" Figure.
40$ would be okay for a Bring Arts Figure, but not 60$-80$

But as a true Collector you must accept those Price Ranges.

I spend thousand of Dollars for my KH / FF PAK Collection
(All Characters on Shelf and a another Copy of each Character still sealed in Package)
and i never did regret anything.
