Had a really long thoughful post which got lost but figure I'll just summarize.

I'm okay with the video game likeness, this is Hasbro they're not known for dead ringer facesculpts (see ML, SWBS, PRL). It beats alot of the old Starting Lineup and other sports things I've kept.
I agree the price is a bit much, I understand all the licensing shot it up but feel $30-40 would be easier to understand.
Criticism on execution: Need to have a clear window for packaging for QC paint issues, Dont care for NFTs, Hard to deal with that shorts/diaper sculpt, Simple solid flight stand (their hoop display showed a slightly better one), would have happily swapped a secondary alt headsculpt with a more appropriate or neutral expression for the NFT and bad stand. If these were all renders, should render and give an indication for Legends. Could have done one for the 8 teams I'd suggest Randolph, Robertson, Malone, Baylor, Hardaway, Blackman, Havlicek, Wilkins. (Save Kobe, Kareem, Russell, Bird, and Dirk for another wave). They're being pretty greedy considering they can reuse and have a new alt jersey or different colorway to the shoes, etc. Jack it up 5-10 more bucks and make it a retailer/region exclusive and/or Pulse exclusive.

Hasbro should try to push and understand the collector demographic, I'm sure most under 30 dont go for these and are happy with other things, like Pop.

Wanted to like this but disappointed, however feel if this is what other releases for the MLB, NHL, NFL will be like I think it may be ok except for the price but who knows how I'd feel when they do get around to those in the future. But for the near future guess my MAFEX Jordan and SHF Ohtani will not be having new friends.
