James GalloMy point is that history has already proven that figures will not have staying power. Line-ups were the end all be all and they died a very quick death.
The earlier McFarlane pieces have dropped in price.
This is a specific piece that was made just to get attention and there is no basis for it. This is far worse then a limited variation like a home and away jersey that has been done so much in the past.
I see the point in calling this "dumb", but I can't see any prospective where this piece will ever retain any value even at 1/4 what it is currently selling at.
I guess I have a broader prospective on this as I see action figure sell for tons of money and then a few years later are almost worthless.
I had actually thought that McFarlane had stopped these figures but they continue even though I see a great deal of them on the clearance sections at toy stores....
I just don't see this line continuing and once it dies, just like every other modern toy line the prices will drop and in a few years no one will even remember why they paid so much for this piece.
