Prices are up across the board... I doubt re-issues will be spared that fate.

I wonder what they will change, if anything, on these, compared to the originals?

I don't know, but worth noting.

If the changes are an improvement, maybe I'll bite a second time. Otherwise, no dice.

Color improvements. I read somewhere.

Anyway, it's alright if they are a tad pricier than the original price. Surely it'll be more reasonable compared to second hand prices.
But then again, I'm not sure, because lately, some second hand prices are fairly reasonable.
Probably coz no one can or would buy figures for an unreasonable amount of money. Times are tough. :P

I was lucky and got both of the originals at retail price. They are terrific! These new ones would have to be a big change for me to double dip.

Well, there's nothing really to improve , but changes will be interesting nonetheless.

Same.

I didn't double dip on Starfire and Raven, so I definitely can't imagine double dipping on these.

They'll be a first for me, I don't have the originals. I don't think they really need any changes, so I'd be fine with them being identical.

Missed out on a number of other re-releases so I better get myself ready for these. I haven't found second-hand to be reasonable at all.

Power Girl, Raven, and Starfire I wish I had and are bad enough.
You go deeper in the catalog and it's not even close to what I'd pay .. Scarlet Witch, Mystique, Edward Scissorhands, original Supergirl--forget about it.

I am shocked they feel that they need to re-release these. They aren't even drawing high prices on Ebay. $200 on the secondary market is nothing, bishoujos are now hitting over $130. I think they also produced a lot more of these, compared to other pieces. I remember everyone being shocked by their increase in price and them sitting on the market for quite a while.

Oh hey ...I did double dip on Raven. I got the limited edition white version of Raven. That was a must.

Agreed!! Actually, I was of course thinking of the more purple one. I had the white one in hand at SDCC and put her back down and never bought her
