Yeah, I debated back and forth on that. They are limited, but they are not numbered. For that reason, they're not worth buying just to have something super limited and numbered (and they're not going to be marketed that way). But for the people that don't have collector-brain, they are still both cool and fairly limited in terms of scarcity.
The full scoop is we made 99 of them, but we didn't commit to whether that would be it or not. Either way, there will never be more than a few hundred of them, but that kind of vagueness is only bad news for advertising them, so we're not bringing up runs or saying anything about edition size (except for me over-sharing here, I guess). So they're limited edition in the same sense as the VBotM tees, or, say, TeeFury (which also claims Limited Edition), which I think is valid for the bulk of the people that will encounter them. This is why I didn't mention it here earlier--they're cool, but they're intentionally not being done for the die-hard collector.
As for the price, pewter figures regularly go for $10 - $15 even for smaller guys, and some of these are pretty big/intricate. And those prices are for mass-market numbers of figures, so yes this is a big purchase, but compared to what you would pay to get them individually, it's in line (or a little bit of a deal)....
