Why the fuck are PAKs so insanely overpriced now? Have they done anything to warrant said price increase or is it the same shit as before?

As long as there isn't a significant decrease in sales they will continue to raise prices.

Preorder from Amiami, it's only like $102 with their discounts. Or don't, cause PAK sucks.

Ayy, PAK may be shit, but they seem okay for armored dudes. The Halo 2 Anniversary Master Chief looks great, for instance. I really want Isaac Clarke and Gabranth, as well.

I remember when the FF7 Advent Children Play Arts were $30 each.

These fucks priced me out now.

Because the figures are larger than the normal 5" stuff released by Revoltech, Figma, and Figuarts

If they released stuff in the normal scales, I'd pay them money.

To be fair they werent anything compaired to PAKS. Slightly better than Marvel Legends tier but not much. I can see the difference between 30-50 bucks in PA and PAKs but damn not fucking hundreds of dollars.

The metal gear figures were 45 dollars and aren't much smaller than the current figures.

No, they're shit. They literally make one good figure every once in a while, charge more than they have in the past and then suddenly everything else after that is equally as expensive and takes a step back using the same outdated engineering from before.

They pretty much used the variant line to try and hide that they suck shit at sculpting while passing it off as 'designer toys' so they could hike the price of the line steadily.

Isn't this figure just a re-release? I remember buying it for $40. Now it's $150? What a joke.

What's outdated about them? It's not like you can expect action figures to have gunpla engineering or anything. It'd take forever to assemble.

No, it's bigger and the armor design looks different as well. Not like that justifies the price hike in the whole PAK line.

The engineering isn't just "outdated", it's actually really bad.
It's like they go out of their way to piss off the customer by making bad articulation.

For example, on the new PAK BvS Superman, they pegged the cape into a fucking PLASTIC BLOCK. So now you'll have to rotate the hinge joints to spread the cape. Genius isn't it? This could have been solved by just pegging the cape into the back. Genius isn't it? For $100+ this is just inexcusable.

They're legitimately going backwards with their engineering. These might've been nice like 6 years ago, but companies like this should know better by now.

They are replacing shit that works fine with shit that doesn't work for reasons that make no sense. I just don't fucking get it.

Greed, pure and simple. But as long as PAK have loyal buyers, they'll nevar change.

Personally I despise their obsession with flared plastic capes, I'd expect gay plastic capes on DC Direct, but not on a $100+ figure...

C'mon.
