As it is I dont thinkit's a figure worth buying (at least not untill it's on clearance later on)
Yeah I was kind of looking foward to her at first but after everything thats been said about her price and lack of accessories I agree shes not worth it.

Yea, if they padded her out with extras like that, I could definitely seeit being a lot more desirable, especially at that price point. It hadnt occurred to me that it could be something in the mold for her, like theyre essentially seeking a return on their investment, so to speak. Especially if theyve been raising figure prices, thats probably whats going on.

It just seems crazy to me, considering shes about the samescale asan average G.I. Joe.Maybe they think the demand for her is going to be something just shy of earth-shattering?

I think its more likely that it would be a US company, the only way it would be an import is if they release a new movie. But I'm with you, I'd be all over some Gadget figures.

Yeah this is the version of her I remember most anyways.

I'd be more tempted to buy him at this price point honestly lol
