That makes a lot of sense.
Based on the last 3 or 4 figures put up for pre order, why would you think this will be UNDER $150?
Red Skull - $200
Symbiote Spiderman - $210
War Macine SE - $240
You're confusing what I hope and feel it should be priced at with how much HT wants to gouge us for.
I know Hot Toys overprices their releases, I've been collecting them since 2001 when everyone thought that the SEAL and Green Beret HALO figures were overpriced at $100.
I'm not paying $180-$200+ for a figure that should only be priced at $165 at the most, especially for a second string character.
I've got a modified Oc sculpt (has the goatee removed) for a Mace Windu and it looks A LOT like Sam Jackson.
I wouldn't call Fury a second string character, not in the Avengers.
I hear ya, HT is overpriced. Always has been, always will be. They are nowhere near as crazy as Medicom though. Those guys are on crack!
I still think all figures should be under $100 personally, but that isn't happening. We either accept the current rate of these and buy them or don't. Its that simple. Eventually HT will hit a point where even the most die hards will stop buying. And I think they are almost there. When Iron Man clocks in at $300 peopel will hesitate.

How many first string characters can the movie have?
I think it's quite obvious the break down goes:
1st string: Cap, IM, Hulk, Thor
2nd string: Fury, BW, Hawkeye

I guess I don't understand why throwing that $150 price tag out there makes any sense then. ESPECIALLY if you don't actually expect it to be that price.
Hopefully cheaper, but I'll still get it... I've been dying for an awesome Samuel in my collection
At $300 bucks a pop, I will only buy must-haves...stuff like CR Supes and '89 Bats.
Bye bye Nick Fury, Thor, multiple Iron Men, Terminator (probably) and all peripheral Predator characters.

Well said.
For me this version of Fury is second string, the 616 version is first tier all the way.
And very much agreed on Medicom!

I was just thinking that it's been awhile since Hot Toys made an announcement. This looks phenomenal, must have for my collection.

Because Hot Toys reads this forum.

You forgot Spidey, haven't you heard, he's making a cameo as Peter Parker.
Yeah, I'd love a good o'l white Fury too. Without seeing the movie, its really hard to say who is first and second string in this. Fury did organize the team, but he has been more behind the scenes. So its hard to say. I certainly think of Thor, Hulk, Cap, and Iron Man the main 4 team members of the Avengers with Fury, BW, and HE being the SHIELD members on the team. Just how important they are though is still up in the air

Too bad it wasn't Tobey, I really dislike his replacement
