I don't mean to be negative, but I don't think there's a snowball's chance in you-know-where that he'll be anywhere near that cheap.

I'm hoping Rizzo will be a $299 price point or under. Ideally that's what it would be, but these days it's anyone's guess.

LOL at $50! You cant even buy a toy for that price!
This is an exquisite museum quality piece - I can't believe anyone would really expect a price under $250. I mean, anything less than that and it isn't worth eFX's effort in producing them. I don't want them to end up going the same way as Master Replicas.
I'd rather pay more if I know i'm guaranteed quality.

I think we will
$299 would be a bare minimum for these, people are expecting Master Replicas prices but the quality (at least from the protos) is so much higher. I doubt we will ever see these discounted heavily like past replicas.

I jus thought since he is quite a bit smaller he might be a little less but I was basing my price on the Master Replica's prices.

You have to bear in mind a few factors-
Although Rizzo is smaller, it still takes the same long process in making him.Sometimes it takes longer because it gets fiddly working on a smaller object.
Prices have increased in Asian factories.
Less pieces are being made, which will also again increase the price.
It wouldnt surprise me if Rizzo was around $400 or $500.Or more!

If Rizzo is 400.00 or up, I will not be purchasing him. I think that would be a bit high. I'd say 299 would be fair.

Yeah i was thinking $399 which isn't bad really for a really quality replica item. These aren't meant to be high quality plushies .. $250 was always really cheap for a proper replica and that may be why Master Replicas cut corners or couldn't get the likness right a lot of the time. The protos always looked beautiful. I'd rather pay a bit more and have a REAL Muppet Replica. When you look at Master Replicas Gonzo .. yes its a nice piece to own, but as a replica its shocking, very little like the puppet.
It's obvious we are looking at upwards of 600 for Fozzie and Piggy anyway if not more.
If people think this is high go check out Star Wars replica prices.
