And the upcoming one by ThreeZero ($168):

Why on Earth is this 168 dollars? That seems way over priced considering it's size and quality. It looks no better than a Figuarts and those run around 2500-4000 yen. I wonder how many people would feasibly buy this at this price.


It's a high end 12" tall, super articulated figure with a cloth outfit. It's an entirely different creature from an all plastic action figure. They're also made in limited numbers and not sold at normal retail. That's actually a really good price for ThreeZero, they could just as easily have sold them at US$200. They are making all four girls, they've had them on display together at different events.

The McFarlane ones, on the other hand, are about $10 overpriced IMO.

From what I saw from the first season, it was moderately interesting and had a decent amount of charm to it. I'm just insanely jealous of all of RoosterTeeth's success over this and their other projects. Wish the stuff I made would get this popular.

I'm surprised it has a big following in Japan, if anything, they should push for a release in China. The Chinese seem to be big fans too. I'd love to get my hands on that artbook. Maybe RoosterTeeth 'ol sell it on their website.

I wonder how much Warner Brothers paid all of them.


Probably not as much as for the Batman anime.

Does Warner Brothers have anything to do with Tomb Raider? I know they handled the movie, but how about the recent game? I remember reading the company behind Tomb Raider hired Japanese Pixiv artists to promote it's release in Japan, though it didn't do all that well despite the promotion from what I recall.

The movies were actually Paramount. The recent games I think are Square Enix.
