Thank you!

That western box set would have been awesome. I would have wanted the Rawhide Kid as well.

That’s where I’m coming from as well. I just turned 59. While I don’t plan on retiring for another six years, six years will go by fast. 2019 seems like yesterday, and when I’m on a fixed income, I’ll be lucky if I can afford to buy a figure at Ollie’s.

The Storm Collectibles (proper) line is more in 1/10 scale, so they started a subline called Storm Arena that is in 1/12 scale and priced in the $25-$35 range. I don’t doubt that the creation of the line and the price point was heavily influenced by Jada, though.

I think I might have made the wrong impression. What I was trying to say, in the spirit of Renfield75’s post, is that I would be willing to pay a premium for limited production runs of certain characters that may not warrant a mass market release and/or would not be made otherwise. I’m not...

Don’t worry. The corporate machine isn’t listening and doesn’t care. 😉

I’d be fine with that as well…provided we were getting the characters and costumes we’ve been asking for ad nauseam. I’d have no problem forking over $50 for a well made and accessorized Namorita in her green swimsuit.

I’d love to go on the stereotypical rant about corporate greed, but I have a feeling that it’s closer to the truth to say that we’re ALL getting priced out of licensed mass market retail action figure lines, at least for the higher profile IPs. This includes customers, manufacturers, and...

I thought I could pull the trigger when this preorder dropped,, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I really want that Punisher, but $70 shipped and yet another figure to dispose of (Nick Fury) just isn’t where my head is at with collecting right now. If I truly wanted both, I could probably...

This, this, 1,000 x this.

I just looked up the platinum Dr. Mid-Nite. That is an embarrassingly bad representation of Pieter Cross.

No, I ordered him from BBTS.

Ugh. $35 for a McFarlane figure, but Dr. Midnight is one of my favorite characters, and the figure does look good. I’m still left wishing they had put a little more effort into Hourman and Wildcat.

Byleth is the first figma I’ve preordered in ages. How badly out of scale is she?

Those are the two I preordered. I never got into X-Force, I never read that Daredevil run/story arc, and I’m perfectly happy with the Surfer and gray Widow that I already have. Very good wave, though. This is more along the lines of what I’d like to see from Hasbro.
