I wanna say $45 is too much for this set but, I guess it's in line with reaction style figures.
The heman head sculpt looks off to me...off as in it doesn't quite look like the '82 head sculpt.

I also don't all the weird pushback on it from others. Now, I hope they release ever single one of the A-listers like this.
I agree 100% with you! I stopped getting Origins for various reasons but this is something I am happy I preordered. I would much rather of had things like this for Origins than the more articulated versions we got.

I guess I just saw these are "Origins Retro" ...is this a new thing? Honestly I wasn't even interested, because I don't double up characters (except for some exceptions) so it wasn't for me, but dialing back Articulation on an origins figure just seems gross...I can't get behind that concept.
I'd be on the fence as well, if I was even standing by the fence..but I'd probably not even get on it with this backwards business..nah nah.

So... it's *another* retro reproduction. I guess there's an appeal to some section of the market (and good for them), but it ain't me.
For those that want this u am glad. But yeah, without having the origins articulation I'm just not that keen on em

Target two-packs seem to always go on clearance around here, or at least a decent sale. These may be an exception though. I'll probably sit on it and wait for a discount.

I also wonder, which one is the one that will be officially realeased.
