At some point in the future I probably will jump on this line, at least for the core characters, but it would be begrudgingly, and only because I really want some articulated Thundercats figures, still got my fingers crossed that someone else gets the license and produces better figures at a more reasonable cost.

I completely agree the figure is not worth the price tag, unfortunately my nostalgia took over as both Thundercats and TMNT were huge for me back in the 80s and I do really like the new aesthetics, so much so that I'm willing to sell some of my vintage collection to fund these...
Looking at other lines like MOTUC, playing the waiting game might have the figure prices double to quadruple. In time the prices will go down I'm sure as demand will drop once we pass the retirement age (looking at the old Marx sets etc).
All these companies riding high over nostalgia of 80s and 90s kids seems like a swansong.
I do believe this is it for action figures as technology such as 3D printing keeps advancing and these prices are not sustainable.
As a parent I will not buy action figures of questionable quality over $20... The younger generation will have less and less attachment to action figures which began with Videogames.
