Hey like I said to each is own, I spent $3500 on a Swiss arms black special rifle and that serves a purpose, I looks nice on the wall, I can take it out hunting or target shooting.....I'm just saying that there will never be a day where I spend $1000-$5000 on a doll that is just gonna sit there and look nice in a cabinet but serves no purpose other than to fill the empty holes of whatever makes one purchase a doll for that kind of money, I would just take a picture of it, cut it out and glue it onto a cardboard stand in 1/6 scale and bingo I just spent 14 cents instead of a what could have been a home renovation, if you got more money than you know what to do with all the power to you, I also think that using ones customs in the same lines as Picasso is a pretty bold statement and I understand you 2 are like Siegfried & Roy but let's be serious here for a min....I don't stick to just hot toys or any mass produced figures I buy what I like and that's what determines what's in my collection, but when it comes down to 1 figure that is limited or a detolf full of awesome characters I don't need to tell you who wins, anyways buy what you want with your money all the power to ya, if a $5000 art doll helps you sleep more or makes you get out of the house and interact with society then spend away
