Mattel Creations First Product Drop - The Art of Engineering Series

I'm not seeing what warrants these prices. Am I missing something or are they really just selling transparent versions for 3 times the original price?

Also, on the website they say that the 1982 Skeletor figure was designed with 17 points of articulation. Ha. These origins figures only have 16. Unless a double ball peg neck counts as 2 points.

I think it's 16 and they're counting wrists as 2

*Forgot the boot swivels so 18...?

These are actually pretty cool.

I bought one

Over 3 times as much with no paint ops.

Toy companies think collectors are suckers. And they ain't wrong.

Damn, I love a clear figure. It's one of those collector things I have... It's really hard to understand the price point. It's deja vu with those Lords of PowerCon 2020....Idk. Any answers?
Of course I bought, once you go MOTU you don't go....back to the way you were...sane.

Yeah I saw that read it twice to make sure I wasn't hulucinating lol. It also depends on what type of plastic was used and how many different types or colors. Or in this instance different types of shades.
