HIS CHEST! IT SMILES!

Hehe, yep. It looks kinda like an evil robot jack-o-lantern. I can see an easy repaint into FoC 'Dead End' in Prime Dead End's colors working for this. That would be kinda cool and creepy .

so why are these $15 when theyre not bigger or more complicated or have more detail than TFPrime figures? How does hasbro justify the price increase for these guys? Im sorry but im not paying $17(including tax) for a deluxe no matter what its from or who it is. Is this what we get for being loyal to hasbro all these years, smaller figures and outrageous prices? Its one thing to make figures smaller but keep the damn price & quality the same. Alot of people arent willing to pay or cant pay $13 for a prime deluxe what makes them think they'll pay $15 for a generations when theres nothing special about them. The last wave of generations werent even $15 they were $13 and they were bigger & of better quality than DOTM, TFPRIME, this wave of generations and they came out when the economy was shit just like it is now. Sorry about the rant but what hasbros doing is uncalled for and just not fair to consumers especially those who are falling on hard times.

All around me out of stock.. Except Baton Rouge East.. 60+ miles away.. Uh, I'll wait.

*edit*

Holy crap.... $14.99??????????????????? WTF???

Well with the FOC, and new Prime waves hitting shelves, this is going to be a Toy hunting Summer for sure.

FOC hasn't hit my area just yet, but thanks for posting the DPCI number. I will keep checking regularly.

Pretty sure it has to do with the economy. Shit's getting pricey for Hasbro too I'm sure. Cuts have to be made somewhere.

Thats just the world we live in, Chinese workers wanting decent wages, rising costs of plastics and transportation costs. Toys are going to keep costing more, just like everything else. As long as the quality of the product doesn't go down as the price continues to go up I don't have a problem with it. I work for a company that imports products from China, and for the first time in 40 years, we might be switching over to some products made in the US. The gap in production costs between China and US factories is getting smaller. These costs are just getting past along to the consumer, it doesn't necessarily mean Hasbro is being greedy or trying to screw us.

As a domestic release, these aren't worth $15.

...and I bought them.
