20 bucks for a crappy old looking toy. No thanks. I paid 10 bucks for that Alien. That's a fair price for something crappy. Even purposefully crappy. They are ten bucks.

20 bucks is way too much. $10 is how much I paid per figure for the Alien and Firefly sets, and I like em. But then I'm a total hipster and I also like the Washed Out EP I got on Spotify last week.

You can find real vintage figures on card for twenty to forty bucks. I'd much prefer some of those.

Unless you're Hasbro looking to cut MAJOR corners on new Joes. Dick shits.

Hasbro cuts corners on all their lines now. It sucks on Star Wars stuff, but somehow the old-timey articulation and sculpts come off as charming on the intentionally retro figures.

It makes sense on something like Alien, but BTTF would've had figures with better articulation when it came out. Same with most of everything else on that list.
I like the spirit behind the idea, but the reality is just for me to poop on.

Not where I found them. 19.98 was their price. 21 bucks including tax. I got the Alien for 10 thanks to a deal I had stored on this buyers card I had.

I dunno. I'm one of the few I guess who's not that impressed with these action figures.

Few? Seems like most of us are thoroughly unimpressed by these things.

I refuse to link it, but the fwoosh douches have just announced that Funko will be releasing ACTUAL Rocketeer and Firefly figures in the same style as their Game of Thrones line...for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Holy crap, first Ripley and now 7" Rocketeer. Two longtime dream figures announced on the same day. And Firefly too? BEST TOY FAIR EVER!
I'm still gonna get the retro Firefly figures though because 1) I love that show, and 2) fuck you guys.

Not the same head. Look at the strand of hair and the part. God! They really put some serious work into the sculpts to make them unique. I'm looking forward to learning the value of the big head and small head Han, I mean, Marty, variations. I fucking hate all of those. I think they gave me nut cancer on the left side. And I've also never watched Firefly. They should tint the bubbles a little yellow to mimic the awesome aging of being stored in a smoker's home, or left in the sun. That'd be so rad.

They have cats that pee on some of 'em in the factory. But those variants cost extra.
