NEW PRODUCT: POPTOYS: Olympus: The Star Chart Series - Scorpio Warrior - Martina (OSC-001), Aries Warrior-Ariel (OSC-003), & 2 Diorama Bases (OSC-002/004)

Diana, yes I noticed the staining on the figures, hence my comment, lol. Not sure I buy that it's 'intentional', but ok.... ;p

Actually, you can. As much as I love the female form, these bare midriffs and overall over-sexualization have often made me cringe with figures of the type (female warriors), so I think this, as well as the more determined and slightly more mature head sculpts are among the very things making these figures better than the usual product.

I should have put an emoji in there. I was actually poking fun at how prevalent bare midriffs are in female figures. It almost seems like an unwritten rule at times.

I’m going to have to pass on Scorpio. $400 for a “generic” figure with a base is too much, especially since I’m thinking about getting both of the Medusa figures.

Ouch! That's understandable. I'm guessing shipping is the killer for you in regards to KG?

I just placed an order for both with dioramas and Ahsoka, which saved me quite a bit on shipping, too.

At KG these figures cost 224 USD each.
The dioramas cost 51 USD each.

Ahsoka is at 282 USD and shipping in total came to around 100 bucks. Not bad!

(But this was painful... Really gotta start selling some figures now. )

Actually I was looking at them at my preferred “local” sellers. The figures are $300 USD and then another $80 for the bases. They are free shipping eligible, but I’m losing any desire to pay $300 for unlicensed figures that have zero justification for that price. They look cool and all, but no likeness to anyone, no attachment to any IP, so where exactly is the reasoning for a $300 price tag coming from…

Oh, I totally assumed you were being at least slightly facetious, but they don't call me Captain Obvious for nothing. And I do really like this slightly more serious and therefore more credible aspect of these products.

Whoa I love Aries' facial design. Doesn't look so 'Chinese' like most games do nowadays. I wish they will make a Capricorn one with strong expression like that. I'm just afraid if this series won't be welcomed much, they will shut it down.

Welcome water lily!  

I totally share your concern and hope that many many people will pre-order these.

Hey thanks!
Aries looks so good but it's not my sign. I guess I'll have to be fighting myself again soon.  

LOL, I'm still busy struggling finances from this purchase.

I just saw a video of their heads. They were posted in December on Facebook:

I agree, they look great.
