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

Budgeting has never been my problem. If there's a figure I'm after, being able to afford it is usually the least of my concerns. As someone who owns collectibles ranging from 1/6 scale Hot Toys figures, many 6" - 7" figures, statues, busts, Transformers and much more, I know what I'm willing to pay and what my threshold is for a specific size class. If you're willing to spend $130 on the release, more power to you. That's why they're making them.
