Heck even the 12” figures are deeply discounted and they already tried 6” scale vehicles like the tie fighter and the moon car deal on tattooine. Too bad they don’t give a shit about 3.75” figures anymore. For $500 you could probably make your own custom sail barge and make it better. Hopefully those who did buy it get their money’s worth

I just think it’s a bit... I don’t know “tenacious” perhaps to require an over 2,500,000 dollar advance on an item? That’s the kind of funding you get to build a flying car for god sake! They’re making hella profit on this one, and it’s up front! For all the people who complained about what loosing TRU will do to damage the toy industry, just wait and see if this trend catches on... “ just pledge 45$ and Neca will produce the perfect predator figure” or “ Mattel will do a full set of highly articulated 3.75 justice league figures... for your pledge of 800$” high end collecting will become relegated to the super rich, and the rest will have to settle for poorly articulated 5” crap.
