It looks nice, but 190 USD? Even though they say this is 11.5 inches, a reasonably significant part of that height is the gun though. I just cannot help but think the pricing is ridiculous. It seems to keep going up every month! The earliest individual ones from the diorama were around 140, then 160, and now we are at 190. The scale is still 1/10.
$190 is high, plus factor in $20 for shipping and taxes as well. Closer to $235. BUT, this is a con exclusive, and first time in the US being offered, similar to their Ghost Rider, Bane, and Iron Man Mark 1 exclusives that were offered last year after SDCC. These hit and are released first prior to SDCC at the Brazil Con. If you look on ebay these have been going and are currently listed for anywhere between $320 and $400, so when you factor that in, $190 isn't terrible.
I do agree however, that their regular pieces in this X-Men line keep going up in price. Magneto was $250, and most of the regular pieces besides him are from $150 - $190. Plus they just showed off their huge (still 1/10) Blob piece, and that given the pricing, I would assume is going to be $300 or more. Juggernaut as well when he is released separately next year as a con exclusive. Not sure if it's the popularity of the X-Men line that makes Iron Studios perceive that they can jack up the prices or what, but it's getting a bit ridiculous. Because of the higher prices, I will need to pick and choose with this line.
I did however, pre-order Cable
