>>10090313You're correct, anon, though they might still have molds from the Crystal Skull line. T crotches, certainly, but better in other respects.
>>10089674I was clearly talking about last year and the year prior, numbskull, you're talking 10 year old price increases that occurred as Hasbro very, very swiftly shifted away from 4 inch to 6 inch as a priority, with the articulation and accessory count of the last waves of newer molded MU figures having solid forearms and similar cutbacks. They also changed the branding to match, so it was Marvel Legends for both scales. They moved, if I recall, up in 2-3 stages, where Walmart and Target both were trying to hold out at $13-ish, but they did, eventually as the line faded, move to that pricepoint across the board. If I recall, it was also around the time Disney acquired Marvel, but that is hazy in my memory.
Regardless, yes, there was likely an uptick in the cost of the license fee as part of the deal, but it doesn't preclude figures being sold today at that level of quality, which has been my entire argument. Or are you going to try, vainly, to wish Star Wars Vintage into the cornfield, which is a brand that has only just started with a few figures to push $15, but is still made, is still a phenomenal line, and shows what the capacity is of Hasbro when they're not holding back as hard. Or are you saying that the 'license fees' for one of the actor's faces/characters from that particular media are so much more for Indiana than they are for Star Wars?
>>10090166Now that you mention it, those printed eyes are pretty jank.
