Man, some of ya just arent paying attention.
It isnt £8 a fig. It is $25 for both figs, both shields, and shipping and handling to ANYWHERE in da world.
Did i miss something? Is that not the case?
It is a limited edition run. A small production for something that is not out there.
The figs are very nicely sculpted from what i have seen on here.
Are the prices higher than your normal run of the mill figs? Sure, for some companies, for others not so much.
In the end, nice figs, nice sculpts, nice hole filler for those looking for the models. :-)

They are some awsome models to paint every time I pick up the model and brush I found another bit of detail I miss.They are a joy to paint and worth 25 bucks to own a set.

I was paying attention... $25 equates to about £16, which equates to about £8 per figure. That's double Hasslefree's £4 cost per figure, triple Artizan's £3 price for single figures (when the KKBB range was available in singles) and just under double the cost of this site's Professor- £4.90.

Yes, it is a limited edition run, and yes, they are nicely sculpted, but the price is very steep. While I'd love to have the figures, they're a lot more pricy than other limited run figures  that I have bought- limited run figures (usually about 100 or so tops) on several forums tend to go at £5 or so.

While I'm a collector/hoarder, I'm not that hooked on buying figures that I'm willing to pay that much for one figure. I'll repeat my "pass" on these.

Ok, its steeper than I expected, even after after postage and packing has been deducted. But as far as I can see, CMON seem to sell their limited editions for a bit more, and not one of those sculpts has ever appealed to me. These ones I really like.

I'm still in.

You're quite entitled to your opinion and I have no stakes in this but just want, for completeness sake, to point out that you're comparing to UK companies (and I appreciate that from your end it remains the same wherever they are) and that one of the reasons that these work out at a considerably higher price is that the US dollar - Pound sterling conversion rate is at an all time low (or high, depending where you stand) and that under normal conditions, the price wouldn't have been this steep in the UK. (Also, I have the figures and there's three artizan figures worth of metal in the set).

Another thing to keep in mind with the price is the fact that these really shouldn't exist.  They are not like our normal "Not" characters.  These very obviously represent Cap and Bucky.  I'm sure Marvel and their new partner Disney would not be happy about it if they ever caught wind of it.  For the manufacturer to take that chance I'm willing to pay the price requested. 

Plus, they are really awesome sculpts.  I have a set now (that got screwed up with bad primer) and they are really amazing in hand.

For my money, I think £16 for both may be a bit steep, but I'm still in.

Think of it as £4 for Cap, £4 for Bucky, £4 P&P and £4 worth of bragging rights at having them  :P

I'd get a set, even at $25!
