I saw those astronaut protos, but he says there's no timetable for them to be released yet so I guess we wait some more for this toyline set on another planet to really get being made, imho. |

The skin tones have changed a little since the initial release, they are close to the Boss Fight/MGR pale peach but not an exact match, & the newer figures are ever so slightly darker, (I think due to plastics change.) |

I'm disappointed to see the price point on these. I really like the two female PGV figures that I have and was looking forward to the line continuing. I ordered those 2 from BBTS for $35 each in 2019 and I know this property has been plagued by all kinds of problems and delays, but $60 each now is a huge jump in price. (Also, it took 15 an 24 months to get them shipped, but that's a different complaint for a different day.) Oh well, I guess I'm out.

I was surprised it was on par with ebay and current order methods, BBTS might be a little lower. As great as the figures are the price is a bit high. At $60/figure I'll be as selective as I am with Acid Rain. |

I definitely wouldn't army build them, but, as one off characters in the same vein as Joy Toy's Dark Source line, they certainly have a place in my collection.
The reality is there are only a handful of lines catering to 1:18 collectors, and this is one that is going pretty far with sculpting and accessories. It's steep, but I think it's a higher-quality line than most. |

^^^ The only one BBTS never got in out of the original run of girls was "Lin," but delivered all the rest, even if at a snails pace. Hopeful things will go smoother this time, with more experience behind the creator's endeavors, & him wanting to sell overseas, but not necessarily having the time to do all the work himself.

These PGV figures sell for under USD35 in China, so still considerably cheaper than Acid Rain which of late have been USD45 over here. That BBTS is selling these for USD60 maybe speaks more to poor distribution with these.
You could try shop around for these from Asian sellers, I know one on AliExpress sells for USD55 shipped. The problem with this line is the production/distribution is so haphazard, that there hasn't been a lot of supply, even over here. As such, less supply means less retailer competition. But maybe that will change over time, as seems like PGV has been making a push of late to get these out to more retailers. Hopefully, this is a sign that they intend to professionalize their production/distribution, but we'll see, it's not there yet. |

I love 1/18 figures and these look great, but unfortunately I've been having to cut back as the prices have climbed. I hope they continue to be successful for everyone that wants them.
It's probably time for me to start selling some of my collection and free up space in my house. |

BBTS is having no problem moving these at their price, 4 outta 6 offerings are sold out.
