On the other side of the spectrum is Dam Toys, which releases Hot Toys quality figures with an insane amount of accessories for a very reasonable price. This release has a small number of accessories relative to their typical release, but includes two whole figures, and way more accessories than you get with a typical HT figure:The Sideshow one looks good, but this one looks better.
An amalgamation of the two would probably be the perfect R2. So many of Hot Toys new releases are so barebones now. It's like the bare minimum. Even their bases reflect this chintzy, half assed philosophy they seem to have.

Sure, they aren't licensed. But HT doesn't pay $150 per figure for the privilege of releasing a licensed product, so that's not an excuse.
