Yeah. Although IMO these figs are so well done, with so many accessories, they're figs I feel are worth retail, if not more. When I think about the costume research, testing, more testing, production, and getting that all done for about ~200$.
Scaling and developing dwarf and hobbit bodies OMG.Also these are limited runs and don't think anything like these will be made again. Maybe cheaper in blobby all-vinyl; or more expensive which doesn't guarantee good sculpts anyway.
(Iron Studios with its stunning poly statues is another company I definitely feel I get my moneys worth.
)Kinda surprised ASMUS did those sales but warehouse/storage space is expensive. Anyway for me the question would be "In theory, if I saved $150 with Thorin, Bilbo, and Gimli, would I rather have the $150 or not have the figures at all
?"For me the answer is a resounding "NO!!!!! Oh, **** NO!!!" Not that I'm rich
but if I had to choose there's a few pricier HTs I have that I'd trade for these. Heck, I got a few HTs in this year and was thinkin' why HT is cutting corners, apparently (like Hela not having an extra head sculpt and also her back zipper can't unzip 'coz HT just stitched it together *cheap*).*Shrug* sometimes u win re sales etc. But I'm keeping my Thorin #2 and Bilbo #2 POs, full price - looking forward to them too!
Meanwhile my best HT purchases this year, dollar for dollar, seemed to be older Ultron figs
