ThunderCats figures catalog prices;
Jcpenney 1986: $4.99, Berserkers $9.99,
Sears 1987 $6.99 and $9.99 per "set of 2 companions" (Wilykat & Wilykit, Snarf & Mamutt)
Toys R Us 1986 $4.97
(Sears was overpriced on companions. In the Netherlands basic was around fl.19.99 and companions fl.9.99)

Basically with the same money back in 1986 you can buy 6 figures from LJN vs 1 from Super7...

Back when Super7 charged $35 per figure it seemed more reasonable but still almost a double increase coming off mattycollector's $20...

Wow you really did your maths, fair play. I have no issue with higher end figures costing more, like Mondo are pricey, but the figures they make are big and are really detailed and just something special, I genuinely don’t think Super7 have released a product yet that has made me think it’s worth the £55 price tag, and when they do, like Kodus and Kang for example because those guys are huge, they bump up the price, just making the figure not worth the price tag again. At some point in the future I probably will jump on this line, at least for the core characters, but it would be begrudgingly, and only because I really want some articulated Thundercats figures, still got my fingers crossed that someone else gets the license and produces better figures at a more reasonable cost.
