I don't know if I would count this one out too quickly. I have a funny feeling that it will be something of a sleeper hit, selling more than you might think. Even though he was a secondary (maybe even a tertiary?) character, he was popular, subtle, humorous and was played sympathetically and well by a good character actor.
I suspect it will surprise a few people. Still, and regardless...mine is day one POed via SSC.
He didn't say they'd be cheaper than retail. Look at Gordon

I don't care if the only one that Sideshow sells is to me. Im not in this for Sideshow's profits.
Im in it for Coulson.

Same here.
And it's still a guy in a suit [yawn] that costs $250.
Hot Toys is laughing all the way to the bank.
He'll fit nicely in an "action banker" collection.

Oh I concede that he is basically 'a guy in a suit'. But he is also a good character within the realms of the story.
These are targeted releases aimed at a loyal fan-base, and whilst that description does play directly into your contention somewhat, it plays straight into mine too, so to simply right him off as a shelf warmer or an '"action banker" is selling it short a bit.

Eh. BR joker is also a guy in a suit.
I could see him being like Fury or Hawkeye. They will not build many and he will sell out sooner than the more popular characters.

Same here! I mean, I hope that Sideshow and Hot Toys make a decent profit on Coulson, so they'll be willing to consider doing more "secondary-but-well-loved" character figures in the future, but as long as I get my Coulson figs (some impulse drove me to PO two of them the day POs opened!), I'm happy :')

Which is what I also think. The figure itself is plain.... But let's not forget about his B.F.G!!!
Like Maria Hill. Hopefully.
Basically this figure for me is like a war between my wallet and my heart 
.., and guess what?! the heart always won the battle.., Phil just too damn special for me., and i just couldn't let this figure pass (not on my watch..), At the end "the heart wants what the heart wants"..

Fair enough. I've seen him for far more (exclusive status?) on other sites like BBTS.
So . . . $35 TruType, $40 simple suit and $100 headsculpt?
Pffft. A major villain in a very specific, hard-to-source suit with an equally complex headsculpt. Nicholson Joker is the same deal.
But if you find The Joker comparable to Agent Coulson then . . . fine.
I could see buying a parted head and gun if one is a completist, but even $100 for this fig seems like a stretch.
The vintage Cap cards cost Hot Toys about what--seventy cents--to produce? This is one for the OCD folks.

Yeah, like Pepper.
I'm already on the bus. P/O'd him the first day. I passed on Widow, Hawkeye and Fury but I just couldn't on this one. I mean, it's Coulson!

I'm tempted by this figure, guy in a suit? Yeah, so what, Hawkeye's gear wasn't very exciting either, Fury was a man in a trench coat.
Buy it or don't, whatever, but I can see the appeal of the character.
It'd make a good talking point in a collection too because of the fact it is "just a guy in a suit".

For HT $175 is as cheap as it gets. Most other figures are $50 to $100 more.
It's not how much it cost to make it's about how much you enjoy the character. All of this stuff is way overpriced.
