Dear Michael Lau,

I love your work. Seriously, I do. As one of the world’s most popular premium toy figure designers, your work commands respect and recognition. And I am happy to oblige.

But why must you price your figures so damn high?

The Godfather marionette, $175 at Vinyl Pulse

$175 may not be too much money for some, but it is to an unemployed marketer/designer/web developer living in one of the most expensive areas in the U.S.

Me. Want.

Waa.
