I?m really happy he?s released, but (and I know most of you are tired of this argument) I continue to be frustrated by these constantly escalating prices.
For Kuiil, you can argue that they had to design and create a brand new body, etc. and that makes some sense, but with the volume of business Hot Toys does, you know this could have been absorbed in the general ?cost of doing business? fund. I?d even argue that the custom design and tailoring required for EVERY new figure would be more costly than coming up with a new body.
Bottom line is that they know collectors represent a much different market than for other more traditional goods and services.
In other words, we?re addicted, they know it, and we?re much more likely to rearrange finances, Flex Pay ourselves to the moon and back, and take out a fourth mortgage before we say ?No? to Kuiil!
So I guess thats another $245 they won from me due to my inherent weakness!
