The fact that these are labelled as an adult collectible and NOT a toy makes me a little sad.
Nice looking figures though.

18 bucks per figure? Rather pricey considering the average 6-inch Marvel Legends figure (with far more included with each, etc.) runs for that much at Wal-Mart and Walgrens.

18 bucks per figure? Rather pricey considering the average 6-inch Marvel Legends figure (with far more included with each, etc.) runs for that much at Wal-Mart and Walgrens. mass market toy pricing vs niche collectible pricing Marvel Legends is produced by Hasbro a company that has access to the mass market and produces product in numbers where economy of scale works for them. Super 7 produces limited runs of figures strictly for the collector market where economy of scale works against them. Super 7 could produce the same exact figure as Hasbro and lose money on it if they charged the same as Hasbro does because of that difference. If you are going to buy items produced strictly for the collector's market, you have to understand the pricing structure will be different than if you buy mass market toys, If you are not willing to pay that price, avoid anything produced for the collector's market. It's the same factor affecting the production of periodical comics in the current market. I rarely dip my toe into the modern collectible toy market because of the prices, but when I do I am ging in with eyes wide open and understanding what the prices are going to be. -M |

The consumer still has the same budget, but where is he more likely to turn to: a general retail product (that is high quality for the subject matter and meets his expectations), or a pricey niche product that might not be as high on quality. This happened to Funko's cancelled Batman '66 line; yes, they were trying to use the 3 3/4 level popularized by Kenner's Star Wars line (1978-85), but the quality and sculpting choices were dodgy at best, but too expensive leading to sales not at all what was expected (not to mention the company's social media outreach left collectors less than satisfied with excuses). I'd rather buy the item that is of a quality less likely to make question whether or not I would really be satisfied with it, and affordable. |
