This. 100%
Although smaller than Cheetor, price-wise, she is in-between Optimus Primal and Dinobot, with no justification whatsoever.

The stand and web accessory isn't justification for the price?

Quite frankly no. It is a cheap looking, easily produced display stand. It still shouldn't price her above Cheetor, as I'm sure the price should be relative to the figure, not the accessories?

But nothing's free. I dont like the price either and I would much rather pay cheaper and have less accessories. But I dont think this release as a whole would make sense to be cheaper than cheetor when you get more stuff.

agreed, but also isn't that stand supposed to light up? I thought it said in her details release that that something lit up on her. Though honestly, I would be more for the stands being sold separately. the pegs seem to work for most retail figures. They are connectable, modular and customizable. Takatomy would just need to make some optional colors, like ark orange, nemesis purple, etc, and I would buy a bunch of them. given they were at a decent price.
one thing to consider though, is geometric tolerances for something like a mp figure have to be exceptionally high. On a smaller figure, this could lead to more parts failing qc, more waste which in turn would mean a higher production cost.hot, poisonous, deadly.00Stargrave00 wrote:Nah not at all Immortal Starscream that's not stalkery- that's just poetic romanticism, with an edge.

If the 'more stuff' were context relevant than yes, I'd agree. For example, If it were a Stasis pod (or that weird flying version, she made) or Tarantulas control console, from his lair.
The stand is essentially another part of the box, much in the same way as the clear plastic blister that holds the figure. It has no intrinsic ties to Beast Wars figures specifically. It could be for any figure, from any line.Immortal Starscream wrote:one thing to consider though, is geometric tolerances for something like a mp figure have to be exceptionally high.

Except, Optimus Primal, Shadow Panther and Cheetor exist. They are smaller figures and still cost less. Plus, oddly enough, so far the only Beast Wars figure with QC issues was the biggest one....
