Toxic Avenger ReAction Figure - Acid Rain Toxic Avenger

Annoying that Super7 jacked up their ReAction figure prices so much recently. They used to be $15 not too long ago.

No kidding, not sure why they did it for. I guess some of the sculpted details are better on the newer stuff but I don't know. These should really be no more than 10 bucks. Now I know who Dolemite is also because of Netflix.

I mean, it's literally a 20% price increase, which is absurd. At this new price point it'll definitely make me re-think any ReAction purchase going forward. $15 was already pushing it for simple 3.75" retro figures, but for $18 the value just isn't there.

Yeah, Super 7 seems to be getting greedy- Their 7-inch action figures (Upcoming Conan figures, etc..) have also jumped to $45.00 from $35.00. At least those are elaborate. With the Retro ReAction figures, I own some, and they are fun, but I've always thought "Man, I wish a major retailer would carry them, so the price would drop down to the $12.00 area, I wouldn't have to pay shipping, and I could pick ones with good paint jobs." This is the opposite of that. I love that they're doing figures from obscure stuff, but I don't think I want to pay $60.00 shipped for 3 simplistic figures from "Breakin'." I open 99.5% of what I buy, too, which makes these seem like even less of a good deal. Couple that with the inconsistency of the sculpts (Some of the recent Masters of The Universe ones, like She-Ra and Hordak, look AWFUL, even by late 1970s standards), and there are VERY FEW I would pay the new MSRP for.

That being said, if they made a figure (or figures) of your namesake, the legendary Human Tornado, I would give them all of the money. Actually, a line of "Blaxploitation" figures would be amazing- Foxy Brown, Truck Turner, Black Belt Jones, Shaft...

OH MY GOD. Seriously, I'd love it if they made Dolemite figures. And I wouldn't bitch about the prices, either.

I'd dig a Black Dynamite too, even though it's more of a parody haha

A shame it's too expensive for my tastes.
