But the folks who paid $1,000 for custom figures aren't the ones complaining about the price, from what I've seen. In any case, I agree that the price is not surprising. Just look at HT's past output. I think some were a bit too hopeful because they saw the price of the Tumbler re-release, but they may not have factored in the fact that it was a simple re-release. The R&D was already done. Prototype was created, no new molds or tooling needed, etc. That means HT doesn't need to charge above and beyond to account for all that stuff. The '89 Batmobile plus inflation was a better benchmark, and that's what we're seeing.
