No this is a limited exclusive, made cheaper with the lack of paint apps (probably to test the waters and not fully commit EDITED: Correction it was the calm before the storm, look at my followup post)

From facebook:
Happy Friday, Boss Fighters! This week we have some fantastic news. We are officially announcing our Vitruvian BASICS. These are a new addition to the V-HACKS family. They are intended to be a more affordable answer for our army builders and army customisers. The BASICS will come with less accessories than a standard HACKS figure and will have a more streamlined paint scheme and packaging. The BASICS figures will have the same quality, articulation, compatibility, and attention to detail that you have come to expect from our figures, but we will be selling them at the lower price of $19.99! The first assortment is comprised of the Orc Hunter, Accord Castle Guard, and Amazonian Archer. Pre-orders for the first three figures in the BASICS assortment will begin at noon EST on Sunday, October 22. https://www.facebook.com/bossfightst...93890634072116 The skeletons are a more specialized item. There will only be about 300 of them and they will be in a poly bag, not packaged. Each of these three figures, if everyone hasn't noticed, has one part that has not been previously released. The tooth necklace on the orc, sleeved arms on the Knight and the normal paint-job on the Tartarus Guard head (not technically new, but new as a human). From Catrina: We're testing with these to see how these three do. If they do well enough, we'll fold them into our regular releases between every few waves of HACKS. These aren't going to be forced into any specific Series, so if we see the need for a Series 1 figure, we'll make it. Right now, we have options for other figures we'd like to make, but we're really waiting to see if it's a sellable model. Last edited by haradrel; 10-20-2017 at 03:51 PM.. |

Member when the regular figures cost this much? I'd like that Amazon, but shipping on a single item is cost prohibitive for me.

Amen! These do look quite nice, but the $20 price tag doesn't really scream "basic" to me, even if it is $5 less than what typical figures go for now. Of course, Blanks are like $17 now, so maybe there's not much room for leeway in their production costs. Either way, the Orc and the Guard look very tempting. The Amazon doesn't do it for me personally as much, but it is pretty solid also.

I like those figures well enough to buy one of each. I can't see army building a line like this though. For the quality of the figures I'll not complain about the price, but it's definitely not feasible to build armies.

In all seriousness though that's a silly argument. It just means you have to save up longer to get the figures. Say you have a budget of $10 to spend on figures each week, that means in 3 weeks time you have the money for 1 figure, now I'm sure that most collectors spend more than $10 each week on figures on average, my point is that it's about prioritizing. As someone with now close to 30 Spartans, it is perfectly feasible. |
