$47 for the set? Yikes! I did a Google search for more information on the BBP Kiss 3-3/4" figures. The BBP Kiss figures are said to have 11 points of articulation. I think that means that they would not have waist, nor hand articulation. Although Gene, Paul and Ace get guitars, Peter only gets a set of drumsticks. The blurbs indicate that a full drum kit can be assembled by cutting up the packaging of all 4 figures (Yipe!) That implies CARDBOARD.
Geez, that's really too bad. I bought the Smiti Kiss Alive II playset many years ago. I just went to the garage tonight and opened it up and took a good look. It came with a full set of drums (made of plastic), speakers, microphone stands, snake on a stand, stage, etc. The Smiti Kiss figures are kinda adorable- the heads are a really good likeness, and the blocky, Lego-styled bodies are cute, and those have 14 points of articulation. The pricetag for the set was $29.99 in 2002 dollars.
After punching in the price in the Inflation Calculator, I got this:
What cost $30 in 2002 would cost $39.15 in 2014.
Ouch. I dunno about the BBP price point. Seems that you should get more than just 4 figures w/ guitars and drumsticks (and an assemble-it-yourself cardboard drum kit) for your near-$50.
I guess I'll have to see the figures in-person to decide. Hopefully they'll be closer to 4" rather than 3-3/4". After all, they all wear platform boots.
