Many MOTU figures are in the price range of Storm Collectibles or Yamuguchi Revoltech yet don't offer the same benefits of effect pieces, swap-able hands, figure stands, multiple heads/expressions, etc. I like the characters of MOTU but I wish they were affordable retail releases like Marvel Legends.

Yeah the figures themselves (while perfectly fine) aren't actually worth what they are going for on the secondary market but because they were offered through a subscription service, it makes available quantities relatively scarce.
It's gotten to the point where even the scrub characters no one cares about are at a price range that would make someone looking to start collecting the line think twice.
Sometimes you just have to say fuck that shit, concede that you can't get everything you want in life and move on.
