Toxic Crusaders - Radioactive Red Rage Toxie Ultimates Figure by Super7

I thought this was a great $35 figure, and would be ok up to $45 like most Ultimates, but I don't get the $55 price on this. I had assumed that was only for the Transformers Ultimates since they're all a bit bigger. This is an already made mold, nothing is new here except the glow in the dark and sun sensitive paint. I know shit gets more expensive to make over time but a $20 price increase makes no sense at all unless they're just not expecting to sell many.

If all Ultimates are now $55, going to just have to pick and choose A LOT more than I used to with them. This figure just doesn't do enough for me, I like the blue and white for the pants/shirt, but that's about it. I know Super7 is more about play but I'm never going to take the figure out and heat up in the sun.

Flynn said in some pixal Dan interview that plastic is increasing and most figures are gonna see a 5-10 dollar hike in the future. That said this doesn't feel worth it for that price.

Red rage..but he turns burnt sienna. Couldn't they come up with a better gimmick name?

I think Menstrual Crusader was already taken.

I wonder if they'll ever re-release the original one? I missed out on it and seeing this one makes me sad.

That looks gross. I think "Fired Up Fecal" would be a bit more accurate.

He looks cool, but it's way too expensive! I'd find $30 a stretch for this type of figure. Glad I still have my original from childhood.

They don't typically do re-releases.

$55 for this? Much as I appreciate Toxie like the other guy, I can come up with better things to buy for $55 instead.

I'm not sure what version of Toxie this figure is supposed to be based on, but the $55 sticker is definitely a kick below the belt. Super7 needs to figure out a way to increase production/distribution to bring down the price on Ultimates - especially since this mold has been used 3 times now. The sticker shock is going to kill their lines. I know Hasbro is a huge company and NECA is pretty big, too, but they can produce some incredible figures at about the same scale for almost half the cost. Half is a big difference. I don't know what the solution is, but we at least need more variety. I would have love to been present for the discussion as to how this version of this figure seemed like a good idea. Did they only make a third of their money back with the first release?

If this had something new I might have been more interested, but it's literally everything from the first two figures just painted differently, and costs 57% more than the first release figure.

I sort of get standardized pricing for a line, but look at the Thundercats line and the big Mumm-Ra is $15 more than the rest of the line. It did make sense to me at the time but doesn't make any sense now. I've defended their pricing a lot, but I just don't get this.

Damn, forgot about him saying that. I think I blocked it out hoping it would be like 2025 lol. $55 is a kick in the balls.

But I got it. 2. I FREAKING LOVE IT! I don't know why exactly but it's so nutty and Kaufman-esque. I love the Toxic line and I am hoping for this line to continue maaaybe more than TMNT. The figures would be SO SO SO SO SO NUTS.

I'm paying the $55 for the greater good! It's $35 for the figure. $20 for MORE TOXIC CRUSADERS!!!! PLEASE BRIAN PLEASE *SNIFFLE*

The price increase isn't the sort of thing they'd want to announce all over their social media channels anyway lol. I'm fine with the price increase for the somewhat one-off releases like this but when it comes to entire waves of figures at $55, I have a bit of trepidation.

I’m waiting for different characters. Price stings for sure, but this is the way.

Very true, it's bummer news. I hope someone comes up with a solution. I'm totally about to research plastics now XD.
