There are people that want a bloody and/or non bloody version of characters. Look at Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat line....they have a bloody and non bloody of every character. McFarlane originally did that with the Movie Maniacs, amd NECA made regular and battle damaged versions of several characters.

I see what you're saying, but a paint job shouldn't warrant a price jump like that and in the past even when NECA would make a battle damaged variant of a figure nine times out of ten it would always be the same price as the original figure. NECA does have some say in the MSRP. It's common for online stores and brick and mortars to to fluctuate the price by a few dollars, but this quite frankly is kind of outrageous.

On another note (And I know I'm nitpicking here) I could be wrong, but Pennywise never appeared this bloody in the film. It was really just his mouth that was bloody. And He was never seen with Georgie's severed arm. They should have given him the bare bloody arm instead. So in a sense this GameStop exclusive isn't even technically movie accurate.

They probably shouldn't call the first figure for any property Ultimate in any case.

I agree with you 100%. Before NECA did Ultimate figures I never batted an eye buying two figures just to get all the accessories or looks and collectors like me just end up buying two Ultimate figures anyway just to have both looks at the same time without swapping parts all the time or having a bunch of extra heads with no bodies.

I don't mean to trash this exclusive, but it seems more like a cash grab than anything else. Perhaps they should have just gone the standard figure release route for both modern Pennywise figures because right now this doesn't seem so "Ultimate."
