DISCLAIMER: This post does not concern in-game improvements but, rather, merchandise

The Idea:

Pirate101 character models (by this, I do not mean action figures)

The Characters:

These models will include:
- Class Trainers
- Presidio Companions (last promotion)
- Armada Elites

Their Dimensions:

Their dimensions will vary from character to character (for example: Gaspard de Vole would be about 4 inches tall, while Rooke would be about 8 inches tall)

The Price:

Each figure would be roughly 40 American dollars / 26.52 British pounds / 48.82 Australian dollars

Closing Remarks:

Please feel free to criticize and compliment! If you have any additional ideas, please contribute them, as well!

$40????? I would say more like $5 each and if it is 40 should come with a bundle I guess?

It should vary in cost according to the detail/height of the figure example: Gaspard at 4 in. no more than $25 US currency and Rook at 8 in. should be $40.00. Or you could have them in different size units as all figures at the $25 level are 5 inches and the deluxe models at $40 are 8 inches.
I think however, that this is a niche market and would not bring the revenue to balance the cost of creating these models.

I don't mean any offense to you by this, but $5 is an unrealistic price for something like a detailed model.People spend $40 for in-game benefits. I don't see any problem in paying roughly the same amount of money for a tangible item.

The models would be something that you can display, touch, and perhaps play with; however, if toys were made, I can see the rational for making them $5 (though that price is quite low).

The reasoning behind making them $40 is so King's Isle will make income from them. I believe it is a fair estimate -- if you don't think so, look up prices for anime and superhero models.

I do agree with Miss Esperanza, though. The shorter figures should be lower prices.

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

I agree with you about the pricing. Smaller models should cost less.

Something like this should not be sold in stores, but rather from the Pirate101 website or the Pirsate101 Zazzle store. If not, perhaps it can be a limited edition item or a prize in a contest?

As always, thank you, Miss Eperanza for your input! I look up to you, Chrissy, Valkoor, Misty, Thunderchu, etc. Interaction through and with my posts is much appreciated!
