I've ordered Marvel Legends 5 or 6 times through AliExpress. The figures were as I expected them to be. A few were legit from the factory and not bootlegs. The bootlegs were high quality. I know KO Transformers collectors order there all the time. The figures seem to be the same ones offered from overseas on eBay or Amazon, but cheaper/ship slower. The only thing I can say is the packaging can sometimes be lacking. Had a figure arrive in a thin smashed box with a broken foot, was able to get a refund though. You can usually find coupons to use on the site or app. Shop around the different sellers and check their feedback.

Looking at that AliExpress link it looks like CC figs are $31.99 each unless you get all four at once? I don't think so though as you have to select your "color" and it says 1pc. I remember thinking this the last time I searched for them. I could be wrong? I do see two sellers offering a set of four pieces. One for $130.59, the other for $250.44.

Just for comparison the Hiya Toys 1/18 GI Joes are $24.99 before shipping. Both are import only lines. I see you can get those for $26 shipped through Cool Toys Club. So These Final Fight figures are probably marked up around $8 or so. BBTS generally upcharge for imports, (even domestics sometimes), compared to other places if you shop around. Not bashing them, just pointing this out. No clue how many they have to buy or what their cost is. The 1/18 licensed stuff I see on BBTS start at $19.99 and go up. $24.99 seems to be the average spot. If Hasbro were still doing their modern 1/18 GI Joe line in 2024 they'd probably be priced $17-$18 at WalMart. It looks like the FF figures retail for $23-$24 in China.

With all that said I was hoping they'd be $29.99....however I did order them, couldn't help myself as I love Final Fight. Haggar and Guy are Sold Out. At least they aren't $46.99 like the Digism 1/24 Fist of the North Star. Those must be very high quality or limited I guess? Not familiar with their figures.
