The MSRP for the original 202 was already way too high for $300+ for the regular and $450 for the one with the chair. A mostly plastic action figure with no real likeness rights or issues. It’s always been bad.
I waited about a year or two after the figure released in 2014 to get the regular one for $210 shipped. Then in 2017ish I got the one with the mechanical chair for about $260.
Even if the paint job was perfect, I would never pay $375+ for a barebones figure like this. $400+ when it’s just a repaint of the same mold with the same cheap, clear plastic sockets and the sound components removed? Yeah, forget it. They didn’t even try on this one. For that price, you could have gotten some Burke faceplates and a Murphy head or something. This release was only a cash grab to reuse a preexisting mold.
Only way I’d get this one is if it was heavily marked down. Like, below $290. Thankfully it seems Hot Toys and Sideshow has learned their lesson and only makes batch allotments for the “gotta have it” suckers. That’s not sustainable forever though.
