Everyone's just afraid of the pegwarmer. It's a new licence for them, they didn't know how well it would do, so they went the safe route, I guess.
Seems like a similar situation to the say the Post Pandemic Edition of The Last of Us for PS3. This was a new IP, so ND only made like 5K or so and now they sell for $400 online. Meanwhile, the majority of SEs accompanying sequels, ie a built in fanbase, are produced in the hundreds of thousands and end up utterly worthless in the end. I bought Halo Reach with what I think is an amazing statue by McFarlane for $22...I digress.
Anyway, now that NECA know how much demand there is, enough to inflate their own prices on their eBay store even, they are more confident to release more stuff.
Do you have confirmation there will be a second run of 18" Gipsy? Randy replied to my tweet about a week and a half ago saying there would be no reissue for it, but I suppose that could change. If it's happening, I would absolutely be down for one.
Just drove for 30 minutes to pick up the 18in Gipsy Danger from FYE......the only one they had!! Price was $99.99 + Tax, came to be $105. I used the membership card and payed $95 and change. Can't wait to open this bad boy up
I have not heard of any NECA reissue of 18" Gypsy Danger. If they were reissuing it in Feb surely retailers would have been asked for preorders by now.
I hope they do but i would expect a Battle Damaged version like Iron Man.
18" GD is on tru.com right now for $99.99. Add something tiny to your order and get $15 off $100 with code 15off. Plus free shipping.
