This was an overall poor showing for KOTO. I know Dan left, but they should have had someone to answer questions. The Star Wars setup was sloppy and not much new except for the Bounty Hunters. It also would've been nice to hear about a potential release date for the MCU Dr. Strange and Iron Spidey. I'm very interested to see what the secondary market dictates on pricing for the X-Men '92 line. I love it, but they're very overpriced and hopefully they drop $10-$20 after release. Gambit and Rogue looked great from what I saw, but not $80-$90 great.

I agree. I think they will all be reduced to $60 or so and I could see Prof X and Phoenix reduced to $40.

They are not detailed enough to justify the cost; and I think more people are probably collecting Marvel Legends figures (for $20 each) than this scale.

I agree that they are vastly overpriced. They are starting to remind me a bit of McDonalds Happy Meal toys, and the fact that they are like $90 a set got me to cancel my POs through BBTS.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

The only thing saved was Storm. This Kamen line is awful

Agreed. I wasn't a fan of ML because they looked cheap. But I had to get their Fantastic Four because there's not much FF merch out there. Then, I noticed their X-Men line and man... they've gone all out. They've worked very hard to make them look good and it shows. Plus, the line goes deep... I mean Apocalypse, Sabertooth, Magneto... who knew we'd get an Omega Red!!

I'd pay anything Koto asks for the Rogue/Gambit duo. But as for the rest... I think I'll pass.
(Waiting for a cool Mystique/Nighcrawler set to change my mind.)

Btw, the two Avengers lines seem even more grossly overpriced than this line, to me.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

haha this is all I see when I see these new X-men too. At least they bring back nostalgic memories of my mom buying me McDonalds each week, to try to collect all the toys in the set.

I think only an aggressive push from the Fine Art line can resurrect my excitement I once had for Koto

With Erick possibly leaving and them pushing out ArtFx and ArtFx+ as fast as they can we might as well kiss the Fine Arts and DRS goodbye.
