S.H.E. is truly a line for the 5%.

Man, this thing looks so good, but $600 is quite a bit, even for such quality engineering... especially for resin-type kits at this size.
I want it so bad, but it's going to be a tough one to justify for me financially.

Normally SHE stuff only looks vaguely like the subject matter due to the requirements of transformation. I'm impressed by how dead on this looks. ... But i'm still bummed out that their collaboration with bandai for a new Escaflowne figure seems to have fizzled

I feel you about Escaflowne. I really want a nice figure. The Yamato one is the first figure I wanted to throw across the room.
The GL looks pretty amazing. Expensive though so it better look amazing.

looks pretty good, but i cannot see this selling in ridiculous prices like the previews ones. i mean this guy has a simple transformation than any other i think.

Simple but yet impossible transformation, which is where SHE comes in.
Gurren has different proportions when combined. Lagann is pretty darn small.

Not plastic, resin. It's so expensive because not only is it complex, SHE is basically a Garage Kit company and making things out of resin is incredibly expensive.

Thanks Chen. So what exactly is resin? I saw so many garage kits were set at a very expensive price but I have no idea why they are so expensive comparing to other products.

There are many types of resin but basically it's a synthetic version of tree sap in that it hardens in basically the same way. You get a two part liquid which usually consists of the resin itself mixed with some sort of hardener or curatives which will make the liquid into a solid. Once it becomes a solid there's no going back and drying times can vary from minutes to hours and you must add dye to get the color you want. Getting the right mix is crucial along with the proper type for the use you need.
