So you'd have stores with a mix of a bunch of different characters, and then literally dozens of Darkseids.

That's interesting. I had no idea. Didn't remember him being a dollar more either. That's cool old school toy info.

He was a great figure though. I hope McFarlane tackles a few more characters in their Super Powers specific looks. Namely Steppenwolf, Mantis and Braniac.

That's a bummer. A couple of the Walmart in my town stopped carrying DC figures (we have FOUR) but, Target gets them and other than a few stragglers always seem to sell through with only a couple left for clearance. Except that damn Citadel Pirate. Weird choice for a release. It had 3 negatives going for it: 1. Shown for about 2 seconds in one frame. 2. Relatively expensive. 3. He was something like 6 shades of brown and boring.
