Those who don't think this figure qualifies as Deluxe, must not be following the Star Wars Black Series line at all. This figure looks to include way more stuff than some of the so-called Deluxe black series figures.
And yes, this is mostly likely a con Exclusive, priced around $42 would be my guess. IMO, it's the slimming down of accessories combined with price increases that's going to be a real pisser here. Is this figure, with the accessories, a $39.99 figure? A $44.99 one? note that I'm not asking if we will pay that price for him (we will), but whether or not it's a fair price to ask. Zartan came with far more accessories and turned blue - for $36.99. At least give this man a lab coat in the dang box.

I love the packaging. But that seems like the ONLY thing that makes it 'deluxe'... am I wrong? Normal amount of accessories. Normal paint aps. Nothing extra thrown in. Seems like a very average figure in deluxe packaging.
Now we know who #43 is. Still waiting to find out #40. Edit: That Cobra Symbol in the helix like a DNA strand... brilliant. Well done, packaging design team! Also - Cobra Transport Copters! Yeah that thought about "what makes this figure so special" occurred to me, too. The adventure painting on the back is a nice touch. I suspect it is a marketing tactic because they didn't think Mindbender would sell as well, so they just positioned him as a requirement to the upcoming Serpentor figure.

I am glad I got out of Classified. This is a ridiculously small amount of gear to put in a box like this. It's 70 percent box. This is still a $24.99-value figure.

How the heck are y?all getting Dr.Mindbender before Kamakura? Can Hasbro make it any more obvious that Serpentor is on the way. Serpentor as a Deluxe Exclusive at $39.99 with separate Air Chariot for $49.99 or the a super deluxe Serpentor with Air Chariot at $109.99 and it will be a Haslab.😜 Quote:
Less plastic but more cardboard and styrofoam to piss off the tree huggers.😉

Mindbender looks great, those computer renders didn't do him justice at all. They really nailed it. Wish he came with the box, generator thing. I assume that air tank looking thing is what it plugs into instead ?
Maybe later they'll have some 86 based figures come with the DNA tanks and extractors. They could have a body part of Serpentor in the tanks maybe, well except the torso. Or the blob monster thing. |

Which is really strange considering most figures sell out super fast and can't consistently be found anywhere. Even though I don't like him, Mindbender would have sold well if they had just put him in a brown paper bag.
