What really tickles me is that the DX Jack Sparrow made it onto Sideshow's GC eligibility list and he was, what, only $5 more than this guy? Yet he came with PERS, an elaborate diorama base/stand/accompaniment piece, loads of accessories, and far more intricate clothing.
Going by that logic, in what universe does HT think they can actually sell a halfway-decent amount of these?
I'm not so sure this is the beginning; if anything, this is the first figure where boycotting actually makes perfect sense. There were a few ridiculously-priced releases over the last year, but nothing quite like this. I predict HT will finally get that wake-up call we've been praying for all this time. This is by far the most blatant of their pricing mishaps. It's almost as if they were looking at a different figure when they came up with the cost for Wolverine and decided to stick with it to see how it shakes out.
but when was the last time a hot toys figure sold out? you can pretty much get anything released lately for cheaper off these boards
This is destined for giftcard use. If Sparrow somehow made it on SSC's list, this will too. And in less time.
