Re: Hot Toys -MMS496- Episode II AOTC Count Dooku Collectible Figure
It may be partly that as well as the steep price. If I were to order this through Sideshow, the shipping would push this closer to 270...for a single figure featuring minimal accessories, a basic stand and an outfit composed of pants, a tunic, cape, belt and boots. No molded armor, no special limbs*, no alternate portrait.
The price keeps creeping up. (* the light - up saber arm could be considered basic now as it's been included with so many figures)
And while there is a strong group of folks who've been anxiously awaiting a high - end figure of the Count (of which I gladly consider myself a part of) he is a prequel character and while the sequel trilogy has taken the limelight of hate from so-called fans, the prequel collecting will probably always lag a bit behind the OT.
I woke up surprised to see BBTS still has this for PO. Gee I wonder if the NRD has anything to do with it?
