I don't need a bunch of accessories that simply drive the price up, just for the sake of driving the price up.

Do they look good? For the most part, yeah. Am I going to spend 4-6x the price of a normal 6" to 7" scale figure? No, no I'm not. Especially now with likes of DC Collectibles producing non-clothed DC Movie figures that look impressive enough at the $40 - $50 range.

Here's what you need to keep in mind my friend. These action figures are priced exactly how they should be. You are saying they should be priced less so more people will buy them? Those already exist, they are called marvel legends. THESE however, are deluxe versions of THOSE for the most part. They have $80 or in some cases $130 of extra work that goes into them. As far as the extra accessories go, if you don't utilize them then no, these figures aren't for you, no matter the price. What you get from these figures that you will NEVER get from a cheaper toy line - QUALITY!

Food for thought from a 25 year action figure collector... I have bought maybe 5 different punisher figures over the years adding up to around $100 (about $20 each). Now for me personally and others like me, these mezco are the definitive action figures. I'll gladly sell or gladly not have bought the other $100 worth of punisher figures if I buy or had bought this one instead.

In the end, the price isn't the problem, people not knowing how to budget is the problem
