Sadly gone are the days of sub $20 6" Marvel Legends, and Star Wars Black Series. And the fact that a 3 3/4" ReAction figure is over $20 is what is mind blowing, it is honestly surprising that anyone is buying their children toys at today's prices.
Big ben is a welcome addition, the femail trooper two pack will hopefully be under $100. And hopefully none of them are store exclusives. Too many exclusives and impossible to find figures can easily kill a line.
Interested to hear from others, My opinion so far - #35 Storm shadow for Cobra, and #46 Stalker for the Joes. The newer style pinless figures are really impressive, and these two figures I feel offer the best bang for the $ when accessories are included.
Of course if I could find a Crimson guard, I might have to change my mind.
Honorable mentions - the BAT V1 figure and Zartan.
Tomax, Xamot, and Stalker arrived today from Amazon.ca, of course Dusty and Zarana are nowhere to be seen with no arrival date. All were put up for pre-order at the same time, with a promised shipping date of today. Glad I didn't have to pay TRU prices and I was able to get them for 34.99.
I saw an image posted with a prototype sitting next to one of the original hiss re-issued for scale. I knew it was going to be large. But was shocked to see just how big it is going to be.
Totally agree. These are not the joes I remember at that scale. And the price is mental. But as it has been said. If those sailors were in the $10 ball park. I would grab 5 or 6
