[quote name='Darren' post='16472632' date='Jun 14 2008, 12:43 PM']A lot of you are probably unfamiliar with the 12'' figure field. It is not all about Hasbro and what Mattel and all them put out there. The 12'' figure realm has grown by leaps and bounds in popularity, detail ... read more |

Just some info for everyone: A friend of mine who does reviews directly for Sideshow has passed along to me that only about 6000-8000 of these figures ( per character) are getting made, which accounts for the price point. Hasbro routinely has runs in excess of 100,000 per for their cheaper price... read more |

A kitbash with a sword and visor a 7 year-old can sculpt, all for $120. Sideshow is not Hot Toys, or Medicom, and upping their price to try to put themselves on their level is false posturing and laughable. What Snake Eyes is this supposed to be? A weird combination of the first and second... read more |

Well no doubt about that ARROW. If I didn't have the knowledge and insight into the 1:6 high-end figure field that I had then I probably would've balked at the price as well. Like I mentioned before, that focus is like seeing a far, distant island from TNI. You can see it, you sometimes... read more |

[quote]I was referring more to the items in terms of "collector popularity" and what I've seen throughout my experience in the field. I have seen a jump in popularity for those items that I collect and I know at its price point and target audience, they will NEVER be a Wal-Mart selling... read more |

The reason why you'll find so few forums that discuss 1/6th scale stuff is two-fold: the toys are expensive, and collectors in forums like TNI are cheapskates. Now, that's not a slur against anyone, its just a supportable observation. Hearing people talk about spending more than $50 fo... read more |

[quote name='ARROW' post='16472856' date='Jun 15 2008, 01:40 PM'][quote]Now it terms of popularity, there's no chart or whatever we can pull up to look at that. However, I've been in the 1:6 figure realm more recently and I've seen a certain up-hill trend. Yet that may be a matter of... read more |
