I also think that GSC is going to be careful with the pricing now, when all they do is putting the very basics in the case as they pretty much do with Mercy and Pharah.

It's all a matter of balance, some want all the characters fast and cheap for display, others want it as accurate as possible maybe only a single character and therefor don't mind a long waiting time. So now we have something for everyone.

But I do think though Hasbro did an awful job on 1 figure and that's Tracer. She's okay in the video but what they have on display is pretty bad.

I think the issue is partly the target audience as well. Figma is exclusively targeted toward collectors. It’s never meant to be played with in the traditional sense. But Hasbro target market is mainly the audience that might play with the figures, with the collectors being a smaller audience. So as a result, the Hasbro ones can be very sturdy and have sacrifices made on paint quality, sharper sculpts etc.

So it’s probably going to be the case that OW Figma pricing will be higher. BUT, I think there is more of a chance that they won’t sell out at the price with Hasbro ones out there, and end up getting some deep discounts on Amazon etc.
