I'm wondering what's up with the price, too. If it's just a regular-ol' price increase, or if it has something to do with a Capcom license? Did they need a license for this, or are the sprites on the back legally-distinct enough to not pay Capcom?
The MvC 2pks are $60, so the increase of $3 seems like tariff balance or something. It's not like standard 2pks like Amazon's 49.99 Extremis/Mandarin or Masque/Crossbones. Gotta be the Gamerverse "licensing".I'm wondering what's up with the price, too. If it's just a regular-ol' price increase, or if it has something to do with a Capcom license?

It's in line with the Punisher/Bushwacker set from last year, which was also priced higher than a standard 2-pack at $54.99 and had a slightly higher accessory count (but really, it's a Punisher popularity tax). The Sentinels and Outriders were similar "deluxe" 2-packs.The MvC 2pks are $60, so the increase of $3 seems like tariff balance or something.

I keep looking at him and being reminded of this fabulous Clay Quartermain outfit that I desperately want to see get made!I keep looking at that Fury and just keep thinking about how to make him into Solo.
Remember when we did have price parity in the early 2010s?Cost me $65 CDN plus tax with an EB Games discount. Amazon.ca has it for $69 before tax.
Action figure collector parity is close at hand
I'll say, at least for me, it has not been hard to offload the second figure so far. I managed to ditch the Venom and War Machine so far leaving me with just the stuff I wanted for a price close to what I would've been willing to pay.Man, I really like that Punisher in blue from the 2 pack that went up for pre order today. I really like all the accessories too. But that Nick Fury is just not something I need or want at all. I don't know if I feel a blue Punisher and some accessories is worth $65.
This Gamerverse line keeps doing that to me. I'll want one of the two characters. Over here in the Camelverse we're getting pissy with the Gamerverse.
Only one I can't move is Silver Samurai. Nobody cares about himI'll say, at least for me, it has not been hard to offload the second figure so far. I managed to ditch the Venom and War Machine so far leaving me with just the stuff I wanted for a price close to what I would've been willing to pay.
