You would think for that price he would throw in the shipping.

thats nice tidy profit for them, but It always surprises me at how much people will pay for a rare figure almost tempting me to put my mech driver alpine proto up for that price !
I just hope the person that wins is isn't some sorta scam artist that drops the cash then claims it back because ("it never arrived in the post" shock horror) I'm not directing that at the seller, more the buyer as I've seen some shady buyers in my time. Though they does have a decent amount of sales under their belt.

What is that exactly? Are these official Hasbro product? Confused.

That figure is an extremely short run convention exclusive. I can't recall but its wasn't officially indorsed by the club or big H but the gang who made it made only a small supply for the people that came to that con. he's an amazing looking representation of the character. one I would love to have as I'm a huge IG fan and always thought metal-head was awesome. I have a custom one Ratfink made for me but I try not to use him to much as I don't want to end up ruining that awesome paint work.

I own this figure (well, not the one on E-Bay) and it is very cool, but the prices are crazy high. For some reason, this has just taken on a life of its own. A lot more expensive than the other unofficial, but well done sets (e.g. Canadian Joe Con, Coil Con, etc.), for some reason. I think people really like the card art - Dan Khanna - the same artist who does the Fun Pub comic and the attention to detail (e.g. the "Hello My Name is sticker"). Plus, I believe Cobra Stickers, Kokomo Toys and Maurauders Gun Runners were all involved, so the project included a lot of vendors known to the Joe community, which makes it even cooler to me. Cool figure, well thought out and executed, but A TON of money. I spend money foolishly on Joe, but even I would not drop $900 on him! |

Thanks to Fire_Fly's help I have one of these as well (32 of 40), and yea it is a phenominal custom figure. The base body is the DG Cobra Officer with custom cast parts added and a custom cast head.
The price of these varies but 900$ might be a bit high. I saw one at the con that Hisstank moderator Destro had for sale and I think he was only asking 550$ for it. |
