Oh, you're right, it was $190 when it was released. Still, we obviously have different ideas of what expensive is, haha. A 33% increase over retail within a month or two (when Hot Toys was significantly less popular than it is now) is still pretty expensive in my books.

After reading over the specs, I'm glad the donut box is still included.

It was a priority preorder and Sideshow presold out in a few minutes. I'm no expert on popularity but that has not happened for a while now. Hot Toys exclusives seem to be available from Sideshow for days and sometimes weeks now.

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

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

What's funny is that this figure is already selling for over $400 on Ebay.

How in the hell can these sellers even know that they can get one? I remember when the Gunmetal one went up, he sold out so fast that most people couldn't get one.
