I saw these for the first time in person today. My Target had Superman, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, Mr. T, and Engineer(?) singles for $10. Then they had the 4 pack with Superman, Metamorpho, Mr. T, and Lex for $40.
Now of course these are as basic as it gets. And yet........I found myself looking hard at these. Cons: no accessories, Supes' cape looked cheep, minimal articulation. Pros: Fortress robot BAF, likenesses on point (for the price), the 4 pack has Krypto and the green baby, prices for the singles and the 4 pack completely reasonable.
I might be to the point where I'm so tired of prices on the "adult collectibles" going up, up, and away.with nothing to show for it. Noting added to justify it (in some cases things are taken away) and we're into the $30 - $40 range on a lot of this stuff now. Certainly for Todd's version of the movie figures (Ultraman, no accessories except for some tiny hands, $40 after tax. What?). What if I just want to pay bare minimum and get "good enough" representation on my toy shelf and just call it good? I can tell you Spin Master's David Corenswet face is better than any of Mattel's five attempts at Henry Cavil. I might go back for some of these. But do I want the robot BAF or the Luthor and Krypto?
