I don't think Super7 really over charges. For example, their TMNT figs have a TON of accessories. Enough to warrant at least $10 for me. The fig size, paint, and amount of details are so much better than Hasbro figs too. Their packaging is also top notch compared to the cheap Hasbro packaging. All of those factors added together cost $.

Yep, came with 2 hands and an alt head as accessories. Ronan can't even afford alt hands at $40... XD

At first glance, I legitimately thought this was a new addition to Hasbro's 5-points "Retro 375" line. $38.99 is insane. This is why I stopped collecting Marvel Legends. I just bought a newly released NECA Ultimate Predator figure for less money.

This will definitely hit clearance prices if everyone waits long enough.

Super7 figures are definitely more value for money than this thing ever could be at the asking price, but I honestly still think they overcharge, this isn’t blind hate either, I’ve got a few ultimates and I’ve recently (kind of reluctantly) started collecting Thundercats Ultimates, a few of them have paint QC issues, which pissed me off because of how pricey they are, and whilst the slip case packaging is nice, it’s unnecessary and I’d do without it if it made the figure cheaper, same with the accessories, having quite a few is cool, but do I really need 6/7 different pairs of hands? I honestly think they could sell more if they just put out regular packaging, stripped back a bit on the number of accessories and knocked like $20 off their asking price.

Also I have to disagree somewhat about the amount of details compared to Hasbro, I’ve seen some Marvel legends and especially some GI Joe classified figures that are way better than some of the stuff Super7 put out.

I'd actually love a Ronan in 3.75" scale... well even if hasbro did the crappy 5 POA style they do now

Not dissing Boss Fight Studios, I love the Popeye figure, but I ain’t spending over $25 for a simple action figure. They’re outta their minds!

I'd agree bossfight is also top notch. I'd reccomend them. One of the figures I ordered broke the t bar in the crotch and they sent a replacement right away.

Would it have killed them to at least give him new arm bands instead of re-using Colossus'?

The boots, sure, but the arm bands are floating pieces for god's sake

At least his shoulder armor doesn't move with his head like MCU version...
