And, those are the ones with way more to them than this Wonder Woman. She basically looks slightly better than one of those Marvel Legends, so if this were "The Price is Right", I'd guess her cost at $25.

You're not wrong. When the One:12 line first debuted the price point was around $60 or so and THAT was on the very edge of acceptability. Since then their prices have skyrocketed in a very short amount of time and Mezco is quickly pricing themselves right out of the game. I mean, they're asking over $100 for Cyclops, lol. They're out of their fucking minds.
