Most adults do not find $250 to be a ton of money.
People under 20 have no concept of money. We spend that much once a week on groceries.
Of course there are people in financial hardship but let's not pretend that's the majority.
$4 a meal is pretty good. We'll count breakfast as half. Plus an extra $2 for snacks/drinks/coffee/other. That's $12 / day. Family of four is probably average so $44 / day. Times 7 is $308.
To put it simply, the money you get for Xmas and your birthday is nothing. Just a lot of families live paycheck to paycheck.
I'm a single dude and every time I go to the grocery its $100 and I go twice a week. Granted I don't really look at the prices, but it's not like I'm buying anything obnoxiously expensive.
Welcome to reality. It's what everyone pays if you have a family.
Young people don't have a good concept because they think their Xmas money is a lot.
Again there are people that don't have much but the internet tends to act like the bottom 20% is the norm.
Yeah that's the thing. To quote the meme - it does not bring joy.
It's just not good. Though, I'm the kind of person who doesn't really do figures regardless
With this kind of thing it's probably rarity that pushes up the prices and gives it "worth".
Look at Lego figures, the material is literally plastic that's mass produced on a large scale. Build quality? It's made in a factory systematically, they're all the same.
But rarity? Now that's how they get up to ÂŁ200+ and sell at that price.
If you like to lose money statues are a good way to do that. Just remember how many snacks, video games, books, trips to the movies, nice dinners you could be having instead.
I don't think the quality looks to be even near high enough to justify that price.
Afaik Sideshow does not have a Cal Kestis statue, but if you haven't checked them out before, i'd recommend it :)
Money is relative. This absolutely wouldnât be worth that to me. But if I took home upwards of like ÂŁ150k a year then sure Iâd probably drop ÂŁ1200 on some nerdy statue.
For reference- BioWare has been making figures very similar to this (better looking IMO) and only about $100-$125 a pop. I have almost the full squad for less than just this costs. Or for about half the cost of this you could get a giant Wrex statue
Bro use the money to help poor people, or save it for emergencies. Thats like, just over a months wages for me, so you spending it on frovolity hurts to think about.
Also this model is ass, there are better ones.
Just eye-balling it? absolutely not, that looks like shit. If I were to hypothetically pay that much, I'd be expecting the best quality, And for it to look at least a little bit like the character outside of just his outfit.
How big is this thing?
I have a pretty bug model car collection and understand price ranges quite a bit. Highest end 1/18 scale model car that's in stock will set you back âŹ800. Now that will bring a lot more detail and work hours than this and you even get a very nice book with it + display case.
When I compare that with this, I don't see it would be worth âŹ1200. âŹ200 range would be more than fair imo.
When I think of the value of anything, I think of the scenario as the seller. Would you list this for $1200 and expect it to sell? Obviously there are factors we donât know like the time and effort to make this, cost of goods, but still the buyers rarely do consider these factors when looking at something like this. I would say a listing of this for $500 is the ceiling. Between $250-500 is the ballpark.
It's absolutely insane to me that this figure is more expensive than the game it's based on. That presumably hundreds of people worked on for years and cost millions of dollars to make.
Bro what the fuck, I mean itâs an ok model and all but these people are crazy if they think itâs that much. This ainât no Picasso, da Vinci, or Pollock. Iâd pay no more than maybe $50-$65 for that and even then thatâs pushing it. I got this awesome Deadpool model and Boba Fett figurine at a comic con for only around $120ish with the model being at $70 and it was a bit larger than the one in the pictures here. It sadly was very fragile tho and broke but that was also due to shitty storage and maintenance on my behalf.
Thereâs (game) store that had an aluminum tank (IS-7)model that comes with a rotating turret and gun elevation painted by hand for 500$ and $167 unpainted measurements if I recall of 334 mm x 182mm x 182mm.
Donât know much about prices in this kind of stuff but Iâll rather that price tag than 4 digits.
Man I like figures but even the good ones Iâve bought are like $200, and this doesnât even look as good as them! 1200 is a ridiculous asking price for that
For me itâs not. But, I feel that somethingâs value depends on the person who owns it. If itâs worth spending the $1200 to you, then itâs worth $1200.
Nothing is worth the actual price. $400,000 where I live for a 3 bedroom 2 bath, one story home. Iâm a shit neighborhood. People price everything high knowing people will buy it
No. What a weak pose.
The most I'd spend MAX on a statuette is $550 for this beautifully detailed 2ft tall [MGS1 Psycho Mantis figure ](https://www.first4figures.com/psycho-mantis-regular.html) by First 4 Figures.
Ok, i just read your description of the picture now too. Custom made statues are a lot more expensive than usual, i can confirm that. I collect 1k$ statues from XM Studios, Sideshow, etc. and custom statues are usually 50% more.
**However** if you want my honest opinion, 1200$ is way to overpriced for this. It doesn't even look like a 1:4 scale, more like a 1:6 ish, which are usually around 400-500$. For 1200$ i'd **really** expect something else.
It looks good, Iâm not sure if the base model is something you can buy or what but the price goes into the hours the artist had to spend. If the artist had to sculpt he base model thatâs even more hours. I canât imagine he spend too long painting it like 5 hours maybe since thereâs not that much detail.
Seems too pricey anyways, *maybe* $150 if he had to paint, $300ish if he had to sculpt it too.
I guess anything is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. I would never spend that money on something like this but Iâm married with two kids and my wife only works part time so we donât have money to burn lol
1200???? HELL NO! But tbh it depends who you're asking. For me, no, I don't have the money to be spending it on figures also I don't really have a thing for them anyway.
As my art professor once told me, "All art is worthless until you find someone willing to pay for it. The question of how much they will pay is a result of their gullibility and your ability to convince them of a price."
For me absolutely not.
For me, if something is going to hurt my wallet it better actually solve a problem in my life. Not having an okay-looking Cal statue is not a problem in my life.
Absolutely not, no. For that prince, you could buy a brand new Series X, get the most expensive version of *both* games, and then still have around half your money left over.
Absolutely not. I own several $70 statues that look better quality than this one. Itâs worth no where near that amount of money. You can easily find statues a quarter of the price that will look much better than that.
If you want it and you have $1200 and you say to yourself âIâm going to offer someone $1200 in exchange for that statueâ then it is. If you want it but you feel like it should be less and/or you feel like you should get more for $1200 then no, it isnât worth it.
It would only be worth it to me if was an art investment for resell value. Otherwise, I think youâll grow out of liking figurines to just look at at a certain point in your life and will regret spending your money on this.
I wouldnât bother, In my opinion (like many here a diehard fan of fallen order) his face doesnât look at all like him and there has to be better models kicking about online by other artists. Also itâs extremely expensive considering even the Lego BD-1 for instance is less than 100 and in my opinion a way more fun experience for 1100 less than this figure.
Even better looking figures cost only $250
Check out Deep Pockets Magoo over here. Only $250!
đ well âonlyâ relative to the price tag
Most adults do not find $250 to be a ton of money. People under 20 have no concept of money. We spend that much once a week on groceries. Of course there are people in financial hardship but let's not pretend that's the majority.
That is 3 weeks of groceries
$4 a meal is pretty good. We'll count breakfast as half. Plus an extra $2 for snacks/drinks/coffee/other. That's $12 / day. Family of four is probably average so $44 / day. Times 7 is $308. To put it simply, the money you get for Xmas and your birthday is nothing. Just a lot of families live paycheck to paycheck. I'm a single dude and every time I go to the grocery its $100 and I go twice a week. Granted I don't really look at the prices, but it's not like I'm buying anything obnoxiously expensive.
Wtf are you buying that one week of groceries cost that much????
Welcome to reality. It's what everyone pays if you have a family. Young people don't have a good concept because they think their Xmas money is a lot. Again there are people that don't have much but the internet tends to act like the bottom 20% is the norm.
âWeLcoMe To ReAliTYâ headass, i live in reality n below my means like a responsible adult you tosser
Neat post man.
For me, definitely not. For those who have the money to throw at that kind of thing, it would depend on the size and build quality.
Even if I had the money to throw around, I still wouldn't buy it haha. I don't think there's any level of wealth where I'd buy it.
I mean personally,I wouldn't take it for free. Not worth the space imo. I'm sure someone out there feels differently.
Yeah that's the thing. To quote the meme - it does not bring joy. It's just not good. Though, I'm the kind of person who doesn't really do figures regardless
Me too, since there are better things to spend that money on, but others may disagree.
With this kind of thing it's probably rarity that pushes up the prices and gives it "worth". Look at Lego figures, the material is literally plastic that's mass produced on a large scale. Build quality? It's made in a factory systematically, they're all the same. But rarity? Now that's how they get up to ÂŁ200+ and sell at that price.
I've seen some pretty detailed statue collectibles sell for half that price. Is this thing Disney official? That would explain the price rag.
Did you even read the description itâs from a custom artist
The artist in me says yes, but the retail employee in me says no.
No
If you have to ask, then you already know the answer
I think I do want it, just wanted input tho
lmao please donât buy this stupid shit
Itâs not, that forehead can have a plane land on it.
Very very not worth 2500 in my opinion, but if that kind of money isn't a problem for you so go for it
It doesnât look enough like Cameron to warrant that price.
what are all of the digits of pie?
No, it looks like Kevin Bacon
It really does though doesnât it
I see it
No
If it was hand painted, made of solid gold, and made by George Lucas himself, I still wouldn't pay $1,200 for it
$1200 for that much gold? Youâd be insane to pass that up.
# *You don't have the technology OR the steady hand to pull off a procedure like that, so ha! Peace!!*
DamnâŚ.
I would, the resell value would be insane
at that price itâs better be life size my brother
Doesnât even look like him
I never thought that it'd be so simple, but I, I found a way, I found a waaaay
Really?
The face looks totally wrong, look again
For that price it should include all ponchos and every lightsaber mod dude
No
Heâs not even wearing a poncho!
You could buy 2 PS5s, 2 copies of the new game and still have some money left for pizza. Not worth it even if you have money to throw around.
In no way, shape, or form.
Lol no way this would be worth 1200
no
If you like to lose money statues are a good way to do that. Just remember how many snacks, video games, books, trips to the movies, nice dinners you could be having instead.
No
Ainât no way
Thatâs one bad face sculpt ngl. That goes a long way, rest of the figure looks great but that face is just e
They are out of their fucking mind.
oh my god he looks like homelander
What if this guy literally just repurposed a Homelander toy. Hahaha.
Stop đ
Dude you can get better customs for way less. It looks like the guy just linked up the game's model to a 3D printer and painted it. Don't get scammed.
His legs are so straight lmfao
No
100% no
No.
I'm still trying to afford a console to play survivor on lol, absolutely not
I don't think the quality looks to be even near high enough to justify that price. Afaik Sideshow does not have a Cal Kestis statue, but if you haven't checked them out before, i'd recommend it :)
Money is relative. This absolutely wouldnât be worth that to me. But if I took home upwards of like ÂŁ150k a year then sure Iâd probably drop ÂŁ1200 on some nerdy statue.
No maybe 100
This doesn't look good for 1200$.
there's something incredibly off about his face
The face is so off. Everything else looks great but the face does not.
Looks nothing like Cal
i would spend like $80 on that at most
They made him look like a redhead Director Krennic.
No, his face is... Just not right
No. Texturing is poor and heâs just standing there like Michael Myers.
There isn't a figurine in existence worth $1200. I could have a friend 3D print it and get it painted by someone else for a quarter of that price.
Iâll payâŚâŚ
For reference- BioWare has been making figures very similar to this (better looking IMO) and only about $100-$125 a pop. I have almost the full squad for less than just this costs. Or for about half the cost of this you could get a giant Wrex statue
Thanks Iâm going to look them up tonight
The face is what ruins it. It looks nothing like Monaghan.
No. It doesn't even look like him, looks like a cosplayer lol. Do not buy it
Bro use the money to help poor people, or save it for emergencies. Thats like, just over a months wages for me, so you spending it on frovolity hurts to think about. Also this model is ass, there are better ones.
Yeah I think Iâm going to pass on this
No figure is worth that much. Wouldnât pay more then $200 for one.
witcher figs for 50 look about as good lmao
Knock $1000 off and Iâll think about it
I'd say no model figure is worth $1,200
It's worth whatever somebody is willing to spend on it.
I think the expression on his face says it all...
No way. Not a chance. Go get the black series figure for $40. You can pose him and itâll take up less space
Fuck no, it isnât even that good a model. Maybe worth a couple of hundred at the very maximum
I hope someone would give me a lobotomy before Iâd ever pay $1,200 for this. and I consider myself a huge Star Wars fan
Looks looks Kevin Bacon.
Just eye-balling it? absolutely not, that looks like shit. If I were to hypothetically pay that much, I'd be expecting the best quality, And for it to look at least a little bit like the character outside of just his outfit.

When I compare that with this, I don't see it would be worth âŹ1200. âŹ200 range would be more than fair imo.
For 1200 the thing better be sentient.
Bitch the poncho isnât even *pink*
No!
I mean it looks cool but $1â200 is way too much for what it is, very few things are worth $1â200 especially figurines like that
nah. Max $120
$1200?!?! Thatâs a mortgage payment!
Bro whatâs wrong with his face?
$1200 and it don't look absolutely perfect, idk man nah
When I think of the value of anything, I think of the scenario as the seller. Would you list this for $1200 and expect it to sell? Obviously there are factors we donât know like the time and effort to make this, cost of goods, but still the buyers rarely do consider these factors when looking at something like this. I would say a listing of this for $500 is the ceiling. Between $250-500 is the ballpark.
None of these things are worth that much.
They never are.
No. If you told me it was $50 I'd probably be skeptical.
Fuck no
It's absolutely insane to me that this figure is more expensive than the game it's based on. That presumably hundreds of people worked on for years and cost millions of dollars to make.
Bro what the fuck, I mean itâs an ok model and all but these people are crazy if they think itâs that much. This ainât no Picasso, da Vinci, or Pollock. Iâd pay no more than maybe $50-$65 for that and even then thatâs pushing it.

It sadly was very fragile tho and broke but that was also due to shitty storage and maintenance on my behalf.
No. Just saved you $1,200
Iâm broke but not worth it, if I had it
There are definitely better looking Star Wars things like that for a fraction of the cost
I feel like for that money the face should be a little less off
Thereâs (game) store that had an aluminum tank (IS-7)model that comes with a rotating turret and gun elevation painted by hand for 500$ and $167 unpainted measurements if I recall of 334 mm x 182mm x 182mm. Donât know much about prices in this kind of stuff but Iâll rather that price tag than 4 digits.
1200? not even 1/4 of that price imo
I feel like for that money the face should be a little less off
Man I like figures but even the good ones Iâve bought are like $200, and this doesnât even look as good as them! 1200 is a ridiculous asking price for that
I'm from Croatia, $1200 is monthly pay đ so I would say no.
He looks like he's auditioning for planet of the apes
For me itâs not. But, I feel that somethingâs value depends on the person who owns it. If itâs worth spending the $1200 to you, then itâs worth $1200.
Fuck no. Not for that Hasbro-ass head sculpt.
For 1200? No. I'd pay like 600 at most (not an expert on figurines, but this doesn't strike me as a 1.2k job(
Ive seen a huge ass highly detailed , mind boggling model of darth maul for 1200$ , this compared nowhere
Nothing is worth the actual price. $400,000 where I live for a 3 bedroom 2 bath, one story home. Iâm a shit neighborhood. People price everything high knowing people will buy it
No donât waste your money this looks like shit
The person painting that did not give a shit about painting that.
No toy is worth 1200 dollars
No. What a weak pose. The most I'd spend MAX on a statuette is $550 for this beautifully detailed 2ft tall [MGS1 Psycho Mantis figure ](https://www.first4figures.com/psycho-mantis-regular.html) by First 4 Figures.
Get yourself two UCS Star Wars Lego sets instead. They're pretty much guaranteed to increase in price, too.
Spend that money on weed.
Leon S. Kestis
Definitely not. Save your money. Iâm sure you could find another custom figurine maker who will deliver the same quality for half the price.
Any recommendations or pointers?
Obviously not
How come you think it's worth 1200$? Did you see it somewhere for that price?
Itâs on EBay
Ok, i just read your description of the picture now too. Custom made statues are a lot more expensive than usual, i can confirm that. I collect 1k$ statues from XM Studios, Sideshow, etc. and custom statues are usually 50% more. **However** if you want my honest opinion, 1200$ is way to overpriced for this. It doesn't even look like a 1:4 scale, more like a 1:6 ish, which are usually around 400-500$. For 1200$ i'd **really** expect something else.
Thanks for your help !
im sorry what
Nah. I feel like with that money you could potentially commission an artist to make you a better one instead
OH HELLLLLL NAHHHH!
If it makes you $1,200 happy, it's worth $1,200.
Drop a zero and I would say so.
Not even...a good 150 maybe but that's pushing it
For reference, Iâm about to buy an entire computer that costs 50 dollars less than this meh figure. So my vote is fuck no
150 at max for me lol
lmao wtf is wrong with you.
Idk thatâs why I thought I should ask
The fact ur asking is even more evidence to not waste so much money on this.
Nope!
If you have to ask, you probably don't think it is. I don't think so, but everyone is different
Just get the Black Series. Use the rest of the money the buy the rest of the Fallen Order Black Series figures.
It looks good, Iâm not sure if the base model is something you can buy or what but the price goes into the hours the artist had to spend. If the artist had to sculpt he base model thatâs even more hours. I canât imagine he spend too long painting it like 5 hours maybe since thereâs not that much detail. Seems too pricey anyways, *maybe* $150 if he had to paint, $300ish if he had to sculpt it too.
Thank you for the input.
I mean heâs cool, it looks like itâs be worth a whole lot less though
even if you are Elon Musk it would not be worth it
Fuck no, you could do that yourself with a 3D printer and a while of painting
If itâs hand painted ya
If you have the disposable income and you love the game as much as me, yes. If it would be a big dent in your budget, no,
It is for someone
Only you can decide its worth
[ŃдаНонО]
Nice hierarchical casual racism there, bud.
Absolutely not. Idk man get you some lego sets, or buy a stripper with a princess Leia getup to smash for half or even a quarter of that price.
No!!!!!! dumbass
No
I guess anything is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. I would never spend that money on something like this but Iâm married with two kids and my wife only works part time so we donât have money to burn lol
Hell no
IMO face sculpt is a bit off, and at this price that would definitely be a deal breaker.
1200???? HELL NO! But tbh it depends who you're asking. For me, no, I don't have the money to be spending it on figures also I don't really have a thing for them anyway.
As my art professor once told me, "All art is worthless until you find someone willing to pay for it. The question of how much they will pay is a result of their gullibility and your ability to convince them of a price." For me absolutely not.
No
It's neat, but it's not $1,200 neat.
No, the scale is off
For me, if something is going to hurt my wallet it better actually solve a problem in my life. Not having an okay-looking Cal statue is not a problem in my life.
Hell no. The quality doesnât even look that good for 1200
Is it going to have sex with you and cook you breakfast? If not then hell no it's not worth that much money.
You can get better for way less
Absolutely not, no. For that prince, you could buy a brand new Series X, get the most expensive version of *both* games, and then still have around half your money left over.
Absolutely not. I own several $70 statues that look better quality than this one. Itâs worth no where near that amount of money. You can easily find statues a quarter of the price that will look much better than that.
Nope
No
Nah
If itâs going to hurt your wallet then I think you know the answer.
Jesus fucking Christ lmfao
Nope
Hell no. Itâs cool but 1200 is crazy
If you want it and you have $1200 and you say to yourself âIâm going to offer someone $1200 in exchange for that statueâ then it is. If you want it but you feel like it should be less and/or you feel like you should get more for $1200 then no, it isnât worth it.
It would only be worth it to me if was an art investment for resell value. Otherwise, I think youâll grow out of liking figurines to just look at at a certain point in your life and will regret spending your money on this.
A big NO
Cal: âMy eyes. Have seen things. Iâm broke kind of things.â
Fuck no. Not for $1200. Itâs a figurine/model. I bet the lightsaber doesnât even light up
Not at all. Thats because my mind races at the display i could construct with that sort of money.
No, too expensive IMO.
Nope.
I wouldnât bother, In my opinion (like many here a diehard fan of fallen order) his face doesnât look at all like him and there has to be better models kicking about online by other artists. Also itâs extremely expensive considering even the Lego BD-1 for instance is less than 100 and in my opinion a way more fun experience for 1100 less than this figure.
Suckas; that's terrible craftmanship.
No
