Earlier this year, I was able to buy three The Force Awakens Kylo Rens for the equivalent of US $30.00 and three MCU Ant-Men for the equivalent of US $61.00. Sometimes, all you need to do is wait and the figures you want show up again. Amazing times, indeed.

Right now is definitely a pretty good time for action figures, especially if you look at what some of the smaller companies are doing. Pricing is all over the place right now (so many companies keep charging more and more) but there sure is some amazing stuff out there.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-26977954355698292132020-07-27T15:33:46.638-04:002020-07-27T15:33:46.638-04:00What I like best about the mainstream toy companie...What I like best about the mainstream toy companies competing at that level is that they usually end up producing something for just about everyone. I never thought that I'd go shopping online or in a store and see a 4-inch comic universe Batman from Spin Masters; a seven-inch video game universe Batman from McFarlane; and a ten-inch (if the dimensions I read were right) steampunk Batman from Play Arts Kai all available for purchase. This truly must be the golden age of action figures (global pandemic notwithstanding).Wayward Knavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-17729941807669588712020-07-25T14:48:02.640-04:002020-07-25T14:48:02.640-04:00I'm really enjoying seeing Mattel, Hasbro, McF...I'm really enjoying seeing Mattel, Hasbro, McFarlane, and Jazwares stepping up their games at mainstream retail right now. It's nice to see the competition causing everyone to up their game and provide more value for the money.

Give us different skin tones, alien races, etc. It'd be awesome for folks building a Rebel Army.
