standard releases range from 23 to 26 GBP (Angela was 27 GBP) in my local comic book store (Forbidden Planet).

They used to be MAXIMUM 23 GBP. So, outside of the US and for the rest of this globe, I do not stand corrected.

Ah, well mate, I didn't know you were in the UK. That changes things a wee bit...comparing exchange rates reveals that you blokes are indeed paying through the ass for this stuff (23 GBP = 32.38 USD, which is fucking nuts).

By "accessories" I meant everything on the figure which didnt belong originally on the "naked" mold. In case of Rogue, it was straps around hands ("gloves"), jacket, belt, kneecaps and a whole lots of hair. Maybe I should have clarified but then again I thought it was obvious.

Oh, I understood what you meant. I thought it was obvious when I replied that the Surfer figure's lack of bells and whistles was made up by the fact that he got extra accessories that Rouge didn't. Maybe I should have clarified?

What I did mention is that they are basically showing a product that looks cooler than what you actually get.

OMG WHEN HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED (besides always)?!?

Exactly. Its a plain design which is why a company that actually cares should have made everything else about the figure (effects and paint, at least) exceptional and special

Bottom line, this is just another Surfer figure, far from definitive. Pity, cause the Silver Surfer is probably the most classic cosmic hero in the Marvel Universe.

Serious question: Do you have any custom/painting skills? 'Cause if the figure bums you out that much a simple paint wash would probably really make the details of the Surfer figure pop and improve things greatly. Otherwise, it's likely that this will be the last Surfer figure released for quite some time.
