SDCC 2015 Exclusive Secret Wars Deadpool 12-Inch Figure

[Spyne98]

Wow! I'm not buying the 12 inch ones, but if this was an original size figure, I'd be all over it! Maybe one day we'll get new ones that meet the original size. Still, very very cool.

that was my first thought...

I am sorry , but I have not been able to get behind this whole Retro Movement. I can not stand the ReAction figures from Funko. I applauded the Alien figures for what they were, but all the other stuff is dumb to me. I understand nostalgia and everything but just not my thing. I want modern toys made with good articulation and sculpting. They can pay homage to retro stuff, ala the Star Wars Vintage line witch looked classic but gave us super sculpted and detailed figures. But this whole 5 POA stuff in the last couple years escapes me.

Yeah, I would buy some new Secret Wars figures in the original scale (Especially the ones that are alt. Secret Wars covers like this one, plus Thor Foster and Miles, that I've seen), but I have no desire for a 12" one.

....and there already between 179 and 200 on Ebay, which is weird because I'd pay more for a "continuation" line of Secret Wars in the old 4" scale than I would for a 12" Jumbo space taker. I'd see a re-secret wars line (by Giant or whoever) as a timely, nostalgic continuation of a line I loved as a kid and re-bought as an adult that is perfectly timed with a major comic event, the re-action stuff however has gotten nuts, I liked them bringing the Alien line out of mothballs, I thought that was an awesome, imaginative and genius move, now the "lets make 1979 kenner style figures of everything anyone has ever loved" got really old really quick for me.

[Hey Spanky]

What part of this do they think is worth $100? The name? I'd rather buy a cool Play Arts Kai. I love Deadpool but naw

[Superquad7]

My goodness, that's awesome.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
