Even when a reissue or remake of a figure isn't as good we still demand go down for the expensive one. People are happy with what they can get for cheap.

Oh, I agree that interest in the original would drop considerably, especially for fans of the character and those looking to complete various team line-ups. But I wouldn't necessarily say the original would then only appeal to MOC completionists.

Mainly because I would still want a loose one, even if a better version of him is released down the road. I really don't care that his figure is using one of the worst MU body molds. He is currently a gap in my loose single-packed collection and I'd like to fill in that gap. I would also want his card back and pack-in stuff.

But I refuse to get a custom of him, or pay his going price on eBay. I have never paid more than retail for an MU figure to date, and I'm not to to start unless he's literally the last one I need to finish the set.
