I love that line in the movie!
No, I wasn't referring to likeness, but the fact that HT had to give a cut to Sideshow, and Hasbro, and probably Lucasfilm on top of that. For that reason, the costs were likely very high, and are most the primary reason why we never saw another Star Wars figure announced from them until Chewy and Han. Now they can (at least) bypass Sideshow.No Luke did not warrant the highest licenses. Lucas films own the complete likeness rights. Hot toys only needed to negotiate with Lucas which is now Disney/marvel...with xmen it's marvel...fox...and the individual actors. Mark (Luke) got paid for his likeness when he got paid for the film work originally.
Best reply I've seen in a while.
No offense to DiFabio or others but personally I think Motux's argument makes the most sense. My take is that each figure's price is set on a case-by-case basis (based on the run size, licensing, materials, etc.).
There's probably a lot of things going on behind closed doors and it's actually good that this figure's being produced. For the sake of the fans I hope Logan won't be the end of this line.
Same here, preordered as soon as it went live, hopefully the sales for this guy will be good enough to keep more figures from DOFP coming.
I want Fassbender Magneto, but can't be bothered with anyone else if they're not going to make him.
I like Wolverine, but they've made several versions of him and no one else, and he's not a great stand alone character for me. And that price is a turn off for a character I'm not passionate about.
