** Here's what we came up with and I posted on Triad, OSW & Sideshowfreaks.com. This is the most realistic cost scenario. I copy pasted this below. I can't post this in the market area yet, so I have to put it here, so sorry Mod's.

We are trying to get an idea of how many people would want to pre-order the new Milla figure. The more orders we can get the less it will cost everyone. Just to give you an idea, if we only sell 10 figures, we don't get a break in our clothing deal. For the customer's cost, It would look something like this.
10 pre-orders = $300 a figure
20 pre-orders = $284 a figure
30 pre-orders = $267 a figure
Most are telling us that they won't put down half until they see the finished HS, which is understandable. So we're working to finish the HS as soon as we can. We have the materials to make 20 right now, except the clothes, because were waiting to see how many orders will be made to see how much of a price break we get on clothes. So we will take first come first serve on pre-orders. So it will be in order of Deposits & Postings replies recieved. A few people already, who know how good Reggie is with sculpts are willing to make that leap. You don't have to, but if your interested in making half down PM me and I will give you the paypal info. Initial deposit would be $150, with the final balance due in mid to late October when figures will be completed and we know final price based of price break with clothes maker. If your interested and don't want to put deposit down, still reply to the post in the Triad Forums so I can start a list. Remember, the more people we get the less it will cost for the figure.
** DEPOSIT CUTOFF DATE IS SEPT 19TH **
After which, our final list will be published on the Triad thread Milla Custom
Example of how it works. So by September 19th(deposit cutoff), if 19 people already put a deposit down and you didn't make a deposit but responded to the post, you would be 20th in line and still get a figure. We are doing the increments in 5. If we get 15 deposits, we will do 20 figures. If we get 20 deposits we will do 25 figures. So there will always be a padding of 5 figures for non deposit customers. We will do a min of 10 figures for sure with or without deposits. On the less than likely chance you don't like the sculpt, we will refund your deposit and/or remove your name from the list (for non-deposit customers). Any questions, feel free to ask.
Ultimately, we are trying to put together Gorae quality figures without the $1200 Gorae price tag. So we are trying to keep the cost down as much as we can. But we don't mass produce, so we could never be like Hot Toys and sell figures at $150, our cost is more than that per figure. But in the end we feel you will get a superior product and know that these rare figures are worth it.
If you have any doubts, check out my Ebay store and ratings. I've been creating and selling 1/6 figures for a few years now and have 100% rating. Ebay store is IKE-CON Entertainment, eBay id: ikemo66.
Thanks for all the interest.
