I must admit that they are lovely sculpts , but at £11 for five figures  ( not including the familiars ) , i dont think they will sell too many  . I can see many use's for them , but the price rather puts me off. :'(

Nice figures but just too expensive.

It's just a pity that Foundry no longer engage professional sculptors' although given their past history with many of those working in the industry today, perhaps it's not that surprising.

Whenever I look at the Foundry website, which, to be fair, isn't that often, invariably it's the older sculpts I find myself drawn to. Not just price for me , it's price + crap, cartoony sculpting a general lack of inspiring new lines Then there there's the issue that I apparently  get hit for UK VAT built into their pricing and overseas postage charges.

£2.20 a figure that I'll only ever buy one pack of? I think that's a fair price. I expect they'll sell lots assuming enough people are after figures like that.
So many projects..... so little time.......

£2.20 per figure!
A quick comparison of 2 "similar" uk ranges show Front Rank at £1.05 per figure and Perrys at £1 per figure.
Thats a fair price.

I don't know anyone else that does a selection of Plague Doctor like figures which is what I was referring to.

At that price I'd just as soon model the nose thing myself on an existing figure

The price is not tooo terrible, but putting hats on the Plague Docs and making another pack is weak at best. Not even a re-pose? ::)

Most companies that do one off figures, like Artizan or Pulp Figures, charge £2 a figure, noone complains..........

Thinking of getting the "Matthew Hopkins" set to start a Mordheim Warband, really like the mounted guy....
Agree with the comments about heavy pricing though.
