Why is this action figure so expensive? It looks like just a toy to me. What is so special about this?

It's a Hot Toy brand 1/6 scale collectors figure import from japan. The figure is as close to movie accurate as you can get for it's scale. Also it's of a low release number to make it stay high priced. It would also be more expensive if it was diecast instead of just plastic. There is a diecast version of this figure coming out for about the same price as this so you may want to just save up for that figure.

Hot Toys figures are adult collectibles -- think of it as a statue you can pose. They are highly detailed, painted by a professional team to an exacting standard, and look pretty amazing. Worth the price? If they were made in the US they'd probably run $1,000. Once they make an initial run they stop producing them, so they go up in value. Look them up on the Sideshow Collectibles site for more and better pictures.

i agree with Michael. It is for adults and very much go up in price. They are collectibles and not everyday action figures. If you go to other Hot Toys resell sites you will see how quickly the price goes up. I bought this as a Christmas gift and it has gone up $100 in selling price. It is highly detailed and if you go to YouTube, you can see reviews of various Hot Toys items that are out of box and shows all the detail of the item

Well... being that this Chewie from ROTJ,....you may not want this exact one,... I don't know if Hasbro ever released a New Hope Chewie. Don't get me wrong,... this is a great figure ( one of my favorites ) And the detail is great,.... but I think if you are a star wars purist,.... then you may not want this figure in the Cantina scene. That being said, this figure is getting harder to find at this price so u may wanna jump on it. Its a really cool figure. You won't be disappointed. Hope this answers your question and May The Force Be With You.

Well you want to be careful and looking up a seller's history is always a good thing. Have you seen good pics of the figure and have you searhed both Amazon and Ebay well for the figure. If your first instincts are telling you to not get the figure than that's what you do.But I can't really tell you what to do, it's up to you. Also do you plan on taking the figure out the box or keeping it mint in box, that could make a difference as well.

why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real? It would appear that you spent the money, knew it was a piece of junk when it arrived but tried to justify your purchase somehow by saying it was awesome even tho you got ripped off. Buying cheap swords for no purpose, except it looks like the anime, is pointless imo. But you bought it so, you have to live with it, sorry to hear you got burned but glad others gave a fair warning not to buy this version. why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real?

Yes, this has becoming a collector's item now since not many produced. Also because it has the best upscaling on th planet...see last 2 used have been sold on amazon. I think this thing maybe worth a lot of money in 10 years time.

It is an action figure with weapons... Lol.... But I still love it.....and I did not think it was a waste of money.. And I am going to buy Daryl on the motorcycle too.....

Funny you should ask... I just saw the original figure at my local comic store and I can say that while this figure is representative of the original Robocop, it is FAR better than the original toy released in the 80's.

The $11 dollar ones are action figure size. The $19 ones are like almost a foot tall.

He's just an action figure, his arms, legs and head are posable to some extent. That's why the price is so low. Action figures this size often cost a couple of hundred, so it's a good deal for the price. No electronics though.

He is. But this particular one is coming from Japan. I ordered him last week but I wont get him until at least March 3rd to the 23rd. I'm thinking that the price difference is the fact that it is gonna take so long for you to receive this action figure.

Those two figures are an exclusive prince and princess set, so they are harder to find. That is why they are more expensive.

I got it today(31.00), and it is from Fisher Price. I was expecting it to be from Mattel as stated on this web-site.

I would start by checking the sellers satisfaction rating and reviews. Fakes or bootlegs are almost always much much cheaper than the real thing. That is a big red flag. I'd say this probably isn't a bootleg. This figure in particular is new enough and unpopular enough that I would be surprised if there are fakes made already. Amazon should talks care of you if the seller misleads you. For me, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Because it's an "action figure model kit". You build the kit and afterwards you have a fully-posable action figure.

Not exactly, this is more of a model then an action figure, you can play with it but it is fragile and can be broken pretty easily.

Inasmuch as it's a slightly higher quality than normal action figure. Generally the Select Series are collector fodder due to their high level of detail and accessories. However they could be played with if that's what you're asking.
