$200-$220. They're incredibly intricate, so it's not an unreasonable price. I have mixed feelings on them as a company. I missed out when they 1st offered the base body, but I have a friend who picked them up, and they're really well crafted. I picked up the Shen when it was announced, and it finally came a month or so ago.
In hand, it's genuinely one of the coolest looking figures I've ever bought. The body is still impressive, but all the additional armor and accessories (basically everything made for this release) seems to be made of a different type of plastic, and has a ton of issues. The gun is super brittle, 1/2 the armor falls off if you even look at it, there's an LED in the head, but the helmet completely covers it. Things like that. Most of this I can fix with about a 1/2 hour and a bit of glue, but still a bit frustrating. So fair warning. That said, I still plan to get this guy:
Despite issues, I still feel like they're worth it. It's a great design, has a ton of project potential, and they really are a lot of fun to play with.
