The figures and set look nice and I definitely want them, but there's no way I can justify that price tag. I can't see a heap of them flying off shelves until some serious clearance deals start to kick in. I'm sure a *lot* of others are in the same boat.

If they paid a whole heap extra for DeNiro's likeness rights, they should probably ask for their money back given that they didn't really use it. I know McFarlane isn't that great with realistic portraits, but I'm struggling to see much Bobby in that face...
I expected this set will devaluate after Joker 2.
I'd still like to get this just for the Murray Franklin figure and diorama but there's absolutely no chance that I'm ever going to pay $250 for it.

Hope we get Gaga's Harley Quinn someday.

I think Sgt. Rock is probably the most absurd victim of this. That said, they're clearly back in the Multiverse line, but it's a little iffier on things like Super Powers. Time will tell, I guess.
However, I do find the Red Hood with finger guns personally hilarious.
