Any price creep is very bad sign… Look at their Star wars figures. When the Black Series was announced, the $20 price was justified by Hasbro as being a premium collector series, offering multiple accessories to create an “ultimate” version of a character. Wave 1 Darth Maul for example, included the binoculars, cloak, alternate head sculpt… if Maul came out today, it would just be a figure and lightsaber in the package. If a $5 price jump happens and we see “premium” deco and accessories, those things will disappear within two waves. And I don’t see how a cost increase would impact character assortment at all.
