I think a lot of the cost has to be due to the wardrobe...

just like vinyl, the ltd ed runs are extremely expensive. the numbers might seem like a lot for you guys, but the fan base is comparatively huge :)

and their faces and heads are little works of art. :P lol

i've only own aftermarket neo-blythes made by takara (they are called neo because the first blythes were made by kenner in the early 70's). A few were "cheap" (~$70) but most were $$$

depending on who made it, how old it is, and if its a ltd, they can cost an embarrassingly large amount of money! :lol:

The first Neo that came out my friend sold on YJA a couple years ago and it went for $3000, it was the Parco exclusive and if I remember right they made 1000pcs, there is a huge fan base for these, especially in Korea and here in Japan.

Generally new Takara Blythe releases are between $80-100 USD. The most I've paid is $300 for a new one, but some of the LT ED & olders ones go high high high ($500 and up), and if you're talking about a kenner original-usually plan on spending $700-1000

it can get a little pricey To say the least.
