BBTS has them up for sale now, and as expected, the prices are ludicrous.

Because there's a couple hundred people on the planet who want all of these guys. NECA wouldn't even make monsters other than Godzilla for years and only for the Legendary movies, I would bet they were forced by their license to make them.

The prices are pretty much what they should be. NECA figures that are sold in every Target in the US are $35-40; BBTS list the Sesame Street Count at $42. $25 more for characters I don't think I'd ever see in figure form isn't a bad deal.

Because I guess NECA isn't willing to pay the licensing fees for the actor's likenesses for extremely niche figures. They'd rather spend that money making super-obscure TMNT characters that showed up in some random comic from 10 years ago.

It's cheaper than buying them directly from JFS, where they are WELL over $100 per figure with shipping and tariffs included. BBTS is WAY more affordable.

$66 a figure isn't so bad for what they are - probably the only figures we're ever getting of this crew.

New RoboCop, Toxic Emil, and Anne Lewis Previews by JFS Toys

[ghostbogey]

Like to see...
more info on JFS
1/10 Robo figs....

Look kind-of like...
"I could go wrong here"..

Will wait to see more...
Give'em a show ;^)

The JFS Robocop can already bend his elbow, like, 40% more than the shitty NECA figure that they've been repainting over and over for the past decade. Also nice to see Lewis getting some figure love finally.

JFS seems like a good company. They listened to the bitching online when they first showed the Boddicker gang prototypes and added arm swivels so they can hold their weapons properly. And these new figures to the line looks really good as well. I just wish they were cheaper, but that's how it goes when you're a small company, I guess.

The pricing is the only thing giving me hesitation right now. I may finally cave now that they've shown Robo, Lewis and Toxic Emil.

Man, I WISH I had the dough to go all-in on this line. I mean, I COULD go all-in, but it would devastate my bank account. So I think I might just get Clarence and Emil. And maybe Robo and Lewis. And...dammit! I really want them all...
