Poor Retro WGSH. They look so sad hanging on the one peg at the bottom dedicated to them. Green Lantern, Sinestro and Lex. Slumped over looking sad. Waiting to be adopted. I passed on them.

Too many toys. Not enough space! -
I've yet to feel the need to bring them home too,I look I guess hoping to find them at 75% off or something.But at 20 bucks each I just can't seem to do it.Your a better person for walking away

I forget - what was the retail price point of the Famous Covers line and the DC 9" line?Comment

Original Famous Cover retails was in the $10-$12 range with comic shops and Kaybee slightly higher. Once the Diamond exclusives hit they were closer to $20. Funny how quickly standard MSRP can change huh? I would love to pay $10 retail for a Mego styled fig these days.....Comment

Many people were all excited about seeing these hanging in a store, and buying them over the counter and what not, now there's a bunch of threads about how lame it is seeing them hanging in a store.
Try making an equivalent custom of any of the retro-action figs with packaging for under 20 bucks. Not gonna happen."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."Comment

The FC's and Hasbro stuff started out at 16.99 at TRU. And I see your point, why can't Mattel get that price point down? smaller less complicated figures should at least come in at that same price.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

Look at what CTVT is selling their figures for between 3 to 5 bucks,the way they talk about the quality of the Mattels it sounds comparable,So why the cost difference?Comment

The CTVT inventory on the website is clearance priced as well. When those figures first came out, they were not priced at $5 a figure. They are not making new figures and continually pricing them at $5, they're getting rid of old stock from a business they've gotten out of.
If you want a brand new Mego-styled figure at those prices, that means you want a larger figure, with more articulation, and a cloth outfit - which requires more raw material and labor to produce, to cost LESS than the less-articulated and smaller 3 3/4 " DC Universe line.
I'd be thrilled if I could get the Mattel figures at that price point too. I'd hope they'd cost as much as a Barbie or no more than a 6" DCU or Marvel Legends figure, but I could see how economies of scale could price them higher.
I'd say your expectations/demands are unrealistic.Last edited by spamn; May 3, '10, 7:51 PM.Comment
not unrealistic.I realize that they have to pay for the names and trademarks they are using,just can't bring myself to buy them at for price.I guess thats the cheap little kid inside me.
