"We may whine about figure prices, but when you get the best the market can offer, I say it's worth the investment sometimes. I have to say we have to be in a bit of a figure "Renaisance" right now, in that we really have access to some of the most beautifully sculpted, and painted for that matter, figures ever seen. These are a testiment to that in my opinion. OK diatribe over!"
I have to agree completely with you Jay, and I should point out that these particular figures, which go anywhere from $55 to $70 USD aren't really all that expensive. This is precisely why my shelves are full of Pegaso 75mm figures. These are the best value for your figure dollar in my opinion.
I will confess to putting in an advance order for Marizio's new 75mm mounted Napoleonic, and that was before I found out how much it would cost. So imagine my satisfaction to see that Pegaso's website is listing it for 78 Euros (about $110 Canadian, A LOT more American, hee hee.... sorry was that out loud?).
This hobby may be expensive, but I will have to find the funds and shelf space for that Aztec. That is just unbelievable piece of sculpture, and the potential for colour choices are staggering.
