They're definitely taking advantage of customers. Fortunately, I just wait on most figures to go down in price on Amazon before I buy.

Also, DST has to pay for licensing so that's another point in their favor.

All my Icons figures have better articulation and can pose better than any of my NECA figures. I love NECA, but they aren't perfect. Neither are Icons of course. Also in Australia at least Icons have been cheaper than most NECA figures.
