What in the world is going on with MOTU classic series going so high in price for? I want Skeletor and I can't find one under 60 dollars. Are they limited? Not released yet? Why are the prices so high on this NEW figure???

like everything, its hot right now.
give it a few months to a year, it will drop in price when everything pans out Only thing that is horrible is that the figures are now going to be bought and RESOLD by everyone and MARY because they shoot up in a matter of DAYS due to popularity Of course that popularity will not be fueled by hoarding,scalping and all around limited availability but relax because they have stated multiple times they will RE-ISSUE these figures in a different form. My assumption would be a he-man skeletor 2 pack, perhaps with some of the complaints fixed about the first figures (less rouge on he-mans eyes... better articulation in the furry underwear ect) So just be patient. or if your not patient hop of the train and don't wait :P |

They want to kill the line ...AGAIN. Those people are true idiots. I will not buy one, not even ONE, of those overpriced figures. I hope that line crashes and burns. In this economy, who the heck is going to apy $34.99+ for an action figure??

I'm glad I preferred the 200X updated look of the characters to the look based on the original card art.
But actually, the line probably has a future since these are shooting up in price on the secondary market. It seems some people are getting interested in it just because it is "hot" and all the original releases are sold out. I'll dip in if they do a Horde Trooper...maybe. As it is, I'm perfectly satisfied with my 200X action figures and selected stactions. |

Where did anyone say they were going to re-issue any of these? I've read the questions on he-man.org and the only thing they've ever said is that they have to reuse the molds because they have so little funding. They've said they'll take it slow and constantly re-evaluate the line, but there will be 12 unique figures this year, and as of now, 12 unique figures next year. The line is for collectors, the package even states "adult collectible", and the collectors are getting theirs. If they're to re-release these it'd cheapen these collectibles; it's mattyCOLLECTOR.com, not mattytoyshop.com.

I think the real reason is because of who the character is. Wait till they drop Zordak or Mer-man. I seriously doubt they will sell out that fast.

Mattel is in this to make money as any good business would be. At least they are giving collectors what they want, even though they do cost a little more. The demand is there, otherwise they wouldn't be selling out.

Mattel said they will reissue the core characters with a minor change. Like the card, accessories, or paint apps.
I have bought all (& multiples) of the MOTUC figures & they are BEYOND awesome, if you are patient, Mattel will have the figures you need available again. But it will be a while... Last edited by Steel Brigade; 02-07-2009 at 12:01 AM.. |
