Super Freak
Does anyone else think the aftermarket prices for this guy will be insane? I'm talking Mark 47 levels insane? The popularity of the Mark 7 armor, in addition to the gimmicks and number of accessories included with the figure, certainly suggests so.
That fear is the biggest reason I'm keeping my Mark 7 PO, to avoid the scenario of dealing with an aftermarket for this guy where the cheapest you can get him is over a $1000. I would love to get the Mark 47, but unless Hot Toys make a reissue, that's a pipe dream. No figure is worth over $1000 to me no matter how cool and unique it looks.
Possibly, but not sure I'd agree. There are already 2 previous very well done versions of the MK7, although plastic. Plus there's 2 versions of Midas, the Stealth version and the Arctic armor version. That's 6 figures in the exact same MK7 armor, then the new DC makes 7.
The MK46 & MK47 are relatively repaints, but come with very different accessories, and was very cool with the little lights all over the body. The MK46 took a while to increase, the MK47 went rather quick after release, but also seems to have been made in far smaller numbers than the MK46. And the concept MK46, while my favorite look as a throwback to the classic comic book armor, seems to be hanging around even with coupons being offered.
SO hard to tell. And all the collector interest now seems to be on the MK50 & MK85. But, things never seem to work out for me. When I pass on things they become unattainable, while those I jump on hang around...
