I like the figure well enough, but it's not like it was ever a holy grail item for me. I actually ended up with four of them even though all I ever wanted was one for me & one for the kiddo (3 bought at retail, 1 ordered from HTS last year) because I figured a couple of collector friends of mine might need one. Turns out they all found it at retail too.
Anyway, for whatever reason, people seem to be pretty enamored with it. I went into a TRU today that had at least 3 of every figure, including Blind Master, but not a single NV. Obviously either an army builder or a scalper got there first. Then again, this is a toy that blurs the line between collector and scalper like few others. As it stands right now, if confronted with a peg-full of NVs, I doubt there's a non-scalping collector out there, army-builder or not, who wouldn't buy them all up. |

I voted AVERAGE. The only reason the figure commands such a price is the artificially created scarcity of the figure. Had the figure been released in more than one wave or with more than one per case, I suspect its demand would be lessened.
That said, I still would love to find at least one at retail. Hasn't happened for me yet...

Average figure. I prefer the cobra combat ninjas and CG's to this figure. It feels thrown together and cheap

I don't think it's much of overrated but rather HTF. I obviously know it's not Lowlight, or Renegades SS level, but I like to have at least 1 of each Joe figure.

I luv the design of the figure butttttt....
The foot pegs issue really makes u think about getting more than 1 For this reason I laugh when people try to Gouge you In trades for them lol They find em for 5 bucks most times and want 2 or 3 figs for just 1 NV I just laugh after owning 1 myself I'd trade for 1 or 2 more if it was a even swap Not worth going crazy for but a kool fig for sure

Average. The design just did not translate to the Modern Era for me.

Bought mine for trading, wasn't impressed with figure honestly. I was curious what was initially the big deal with the figure other than rarity.

it's a good-looking figure, but it can't fit on any stand. I buy these to display. if I cant display them, then what's the point? sigh.
