@sephirona:
I have no idea how much Ace was when he first came out, but I doubt people knew he'd be that rare. Secret Ace seems to be the cheapest out of all the MBH secrets, and his price fluctuates the most. At least, that's my impression. xD Things on YJ tend to sell for a lot more, so you probably wouldn't see anyone buy it for that much outside of Japan. Still though, it's really sought after. =w=
Ahh, if only I could make plushies like you __ My dad's agreed to "sponsor me" in my resin figure attempts this summer, but I have no idea how it'll work out. And I'll need to pay out the butt to send the figure to crease so he can put it on YJ if it's as big as I expect it'll be…wonder who I should try sculpting. Garp seems popular. WB's already getting a ton of official figures but he could always use another death scene portrayal. LOL;
The Ace is nice, I couldn't imagine having to pay a small fortune for him though, I'd probably cry. XD I like the walking Chopper the most, he's so cute!
Yay! I can't wait to see what you come up with over the summer! After I get done with navy boot camp perhaps I could employ you to make me some figures. X3
