I was surprised on the $399 price tag on this, I was expecting $469 at least.

Yep pretty much...
There are still premium formats on preorder that are cheaper then this. Just goes to show how much their prices go up so quickly.
The Conan Rage of the Undying PF was $460 and that went on pre-order 2 years ago.
So this is a pretty good price.
Is this really 1/5 scale though?
its some very shady wording if so.
Its height is taller than many 1/4 premium formats but he's on a decent base with his arm raised up holding a weapon up high.

And its scale is listed as 'statue'

I want them to list the scale. If it's 23" from bottom to tip of sword, then it's 1/6.

It's still big enough to appear as 1/4 scale, but It looks great. I hope down the road, they will do a Hercules.

Man, looking at this tonight I was thinking about how awesome of a Thor statue this body/face sculpt would have made. Would have solved so many Thor issues for me. I"m wondering if I could get him customized.
Doesn't really work like that.
1/5 is quite a bit smaller than 1/4 in total volume. His arm is raised up with a weapon but he'll be noticeably smaller standing next to a 1/4 PF.

Why is it that I feel like on the final version the skin tone is going to be all f ed up like the new conan.

No, this is a scale comparison using actual heights given by the manufacturers. 1/6th scale is would be much smaller.

That's quite size difference, thanks for posting I'd never seen a comparison like that before
Still 100% in for He-Man
Just need to see if there are any savings to be had by skipping the EX and getting from a UK supplier first as the Ax is nice but not a show stopper so if I can save good money by buying here then I will.

EDIT - just checked & price will be exactly the same so Ex direct from Sideshow it is then
I agree with your statement. Scale means the figure itself is xyz scale of a human, base not included. To be 100% you would have to measure He-Mans bottom of boots to top of his head in a straight pose then devide by He-Mans estimated real life height. 12 inch is 30 cm which is 1/6 of an average human of 1,8 meters approx 72 inch(12 x 6). In the pics He-man appears to be approx 12 inches to me so that is why I agree with you. Obviously there are no laws here so companies can do whatever they want. Just my two cents. By the way I am a fan of this statue. Its beautiful no matter what scale it is.
