Well, to be honest the new LCB is definitely not the same as NE Chompy. New LCB is from a different material, looking at the artwork it will be much smaller than the NE and the sculpt is totally different. Yes, the pose is kind of similar, but that's it. I don't think this will devaluate the NE models much, if at all... If I sell you a golden bust and tell you that it is a one time opportunity and later start to sell silver once to others with a different size and shape, your golden stuff won't became cheaper or more common.
Back to topic: this Teddy is the first Miss model that I want. Really well executed stuff!
