Pricey, but yeah, seriously, if you want a "Black Series" Storm Shadow or Red Ninja, just get one and stick a Cobra emblem on it.

They need to do one in turquoise so people can have Ninja-Vipers.

BS they're pricey. $35 is the same price the Club sells Joe repaints for!

It is also on par with the MOTUC subscription prices.

Granted, Mattel and Master Collector/Fun Pub aren't just releasing generic characters.

Don't forget having nearly twice the POA of either of those lines plus swappable hand sets. These things are a steal in today's market and it's just us Joe-lover's lament that they're the wrong scale. I have no need for giant ninja in my 'verse, but I'll keep an eye out for the demons they'll be revealing in days to come.

Wait, you're trying to justify an item's perceived high cost, by comparing it to FunPub's pricing?

I truly do expect better from you. ;-)

Not really. It's just me forcing an opportunity to snark at what price-gougers they are.

Again.

Yeah, they're pricey if you want the white ninja. He's $50, but is truly a deluxe figure and comes with a ton of stuff. There's even a stretch goal of bare arms with white arm wraps! I really want to pledge, but $50 is a large chunk of change at once. I'm leaning towards doing it, though. These look amazing.

as a 3 3/4" only collector for over 25 years I am getting so pissed off at all the people that are jumping into the 6" thing. it sort of amazes me how much I have bought for so many years, and just in the last couple of years im barely getting anything, it has changed so fast.

I love both sizes. Marvel Legends are far better than Universe/Infinite in terms of sculpt, articulation and character selection. Not to mention that they actually get stocked, too. G.I. Joe barely exists. Star Wars 1:18th sucks and is way overpriced. I'd buy more 1:18th if it was more readily available.

Okay, yeah, I was looking at the White Ninja for $50. $35 for the basic ninja isn't really all that bad, relatively speaking to some other collector lines.

Newwavepop, I sympathize, but I've never been a 3-3/4" exclusive collector. I've enjoyed several 6" scale lines, including Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, and the Star Wars Black Series. I'd love for Hasbro to do a G.I. Joe Black Series, but I'm not exactly holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

The only thing pissing me off in the action figure world these days are those stupid Hero Mashers figures. They look like overblown preschool toys, I personally think it's a silly concept, and the darn things are allocated WAAAAAYY too much space in the average action figure aisle relative to actual action figures.
