So another click-bait video? Carry on then.

I would like to know what makes him a deluxe figure??? Same with Sgt, Slaughter...Also I don't see how Boba Fett is either.. Is it because they come with a few extra hands, weapons, flame/bullet effects..because then almost every figure would be then.

By definition, the word Deluxe means of luxury, or enjoyable in a way that involves great expense. If the action figure costs more than it normally would, then by definition it is a deluxe action figure.

Kamakura is actually proof of the exact opposite. If Hasbro wanted to kill the line they would simply stop making figures. The fact that they made a figure of a New Sculpt era comic character shows they want to make money off of long time collectors. If they were killing the line they'd be making less figures, and not be making extraneous figures that are non-essential to most collections.

Kamakura is proof they are willing to make obscure characters that won't be super popular with everyone so they make limited quantities which costs more. And then there is the Amazon tax. Those of us that want him will absorb the cost. I'm fine with it and like that they are willing to do things like this.
It's a great figure and a great character. He also comes with two head styles, two hood styles and numerous accessories. I've got two more Kamakuras on the way from Pulse (once they ship). One is for my son and the other is an extra that I'll keep sealed since I accidentally tore the box on my first one. Oops.

So let me get this straight. Hasbro doesn't want to support GI Joe or a military line and accomplishes this by relaunching the line with seven waves, store exclusives, and many other figures either revealed or announced.

I think the figure looks great, I just passed because I don't like the "zany" box art. But I ended up getting the Blue Ninja set because I loved the box art. The artwork is pretty much gonna be everything for me from here out, unless it's a Retro packaging.
But I DID get a Kamakura for my son's stocking for Christmas, so they still got my $$$. |

There was definitely a large enough gap for people to scream death of the line. Now is not that time. |

100%. Whenever someone says this about how ?poorly? the oring line has been brought back, in supposed order to kill it, I always think, ?Why bring it back when they could have left it?you know?DEAD?!?
