im shocked. everyone here seems to be digging the price point. I guess HT/SS won. do a few big full deep thrusts, then they'll love it when you only stick the tip in. anything over $200 that basically comes with bare bones accessories is not worth it.
Realistically though the price isn't out of line. I'm not sure why some people act surprised time after time. This has two head sculpts, the helmet, and the shield. I think the price is fine and not much more than last year's version from The Winter Soldier.
 
Considering he's only $10 more than this guy, I'm definitely very happy.

Joker v2 came with a butt load and was like 275. that was only what....2 years ago? that figure today would be 400. so everyone can buy and like this guy, but I'm just saying.....they won. they made you think high prices were a bargain. its sad to me because things i like are too expensive to collect.
 
I was going to get the Strike Cap 2 pack for the Steve Rogers headsculpt since I didn't really care for the civilian SR figure itself, now I can just get this one and the Strike Cap by itself and use the SR headsculpt from this and put it on my Strike Cap AND have the AoU Cap too! Double win!
 
I do wish HT would stop using lame bodies with a fat suit added to it, use an appropriate body dammit! They did that with the dx12 too.

The one thing that surprised me when I got into this hobby is how few bodies Hot Toys uses. They charge so much and keep jacking up the prices but refuse to invest in enough bodies to cover the different body types. They can do much better than they are doing.
 
So ordered! Really excited it isn't more. With how cheap it is I might spring for the Civy Steve or Stealth when they flood the market.
 
I don't think the price for this is bad. 225 at sideshow? Which qualifies for like 10-12 bucks in rewards. Or equal to free shipping. I see a comparison to a joker from 2 years ago that was 50 bucks more. First, different and older license. Second, this is 2 years after and is still cheaper then that. I don't get that comparison.

I saw multiple people saying it would be 300. Because it's avengers and we are all bandwagon jumpers. Ect. Which is silly and insulting. And I don't see those same folks saying anything now, about this being nearly 1/3 cheaper then they said. Funny how that works.

Anyway, it's a great figure. A pretty good price for this brand and company. And I think for the quality they do, very reasonable. Do I wish this was free or 2 cents or whatever? Sure. But they are a business. Most people work for business. If your company was selling things (or charging or whatever it is your work place does to make money) and did so to just break even or loose money and you end up making less are you cool with that? Probably not.
 
Def the price i was anticipating it to be. In fact at 224.99 it makes the strike suit seem pricier than it should be.. oh well im just waiting for folks to dump the above one now - Cap is the new Iron Man.

I wouldnt go that far. Im gettin this one too but im not ditching my original avengers team. And yeah the west loves iron man. But china goes crazzyyyyyyy for iron man which is why they push him sooo much. I think his picture is on their money now lol.

I read the AoU Ironman will cost 40,000 RDJs.
 
Figure looks really well executed, I'm just not a fan of the costume; reminds me of an American team uniform for some winter olympic sport. Cool the prices aren't really on the rise too much.
