I'm hoping this isn't a sign that yet another price spike is coming, because it's already pricey at 27.99 (if you find them at Target) and at 31.99...it is getting out of hand, especially when the previous Emmisary and Fugitive figures were priced lower and came with either the same amount or more accessories than the upcoming ones.

Aside from a closed mandible head, I totally called the accessories for this figure and the price tag. It’s actually quite sad. On NECA’s Twitter you’ll have fans writing that NECA figures are such an unbeatable value and that they would be willing to pay more if they were priced higher... well now those fans are getting their wish.

I’ve seriously had to cut back the amount of figures I buy because of the recent price hikes. At this point the Ultimate title is just an excuse to bump up the price up because you are certainly not getting the definitive version of the character anymore. If it meant the price tag could be lowered a bit I’d say do without the Ultimate styles boxes in favor of simpler packaging.

NECA makes detailed figures and I will buy this especially if I see it for a good deal, but NEVER this for $31.99 especially for a figure this size and with less to offer.
