Popular Post Robot Man Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 Saw these being racked at Target today. Anybody else see them? Are they Exclusives? Reprints? Each comes with a small action figure. Thought the $9.99 price seemed a little “aggressive””… STORMSHADOW_80, Namtak, mysterymachine and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djzombi Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Well, the Batman #608 is obviously a reprint Likely exclusive to this package, but who knows. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the reason I haven't heard of the DC is because marvel sprinkles the packs with a few $books. I'll admit some of the marvel are variants though, or Walmart exclusives and 1st appearances. I'm wondering what we'll hear from the DC packs The title in modern section for Walmart says "3 packs" but there were eventually 10 packs as well, then maybe DC chose target. all priced about the same as DC Edited July 1, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cat Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 These are from McFarlane Toys, part of a new line aiming to get cheaper figures out there, mainly for kids and newer buyers. That price is VERY cheap for a figure in that scale, and the comic reprint is an added bonus, so it's a very attractive package for parents (hopefully) staring at $20 larger McFarlane figures (which already aren't that profitable, as admitted by Todd, who just wants to get market share right now) and even more expensive Marvel Legends. I reckon they're a great idea, and I hope they do well. djzombi, ttfitz, Jesse-Lee and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse-Lee Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I got an email from BBTS about these a couple of weeks ago - looks like they're slightly cheaper at Target: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/204716 I think they're kind of neat, I might pick up the Bats one.

I'm sure a lot of adult collectors will grab these (I probably will buy at least the Batman one), but with the price of action figures in the toy aisles, these seem like a decent deal for parents to pick up for their kids.

Great point. Anymore, $10 is a huge bargain for an action figure, the comic is just gravy. With "standard" action figures (Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, MotU Revelations, Power Rangers, Transformers Deluxe) up to about $23 at most places, $10 is practically an impulse buy. I haven't been a fan of Todd's DC stuff so far, but these are pretty cute. If I run across them in the wild, I may be tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The comic is super glossy. The figure is articulate on the arms and legs only, no surprise. I like the detail and my 2yr old Toddler (mini-Thanos) loves the toy. He has been “attacking” ms with him the last 20 minutes at least. The Target near me has taken them out of the display and put them on a random end side shelf. They were not presented well and a bunch were badly damaged, like bent in half. I will say check the books for damage that is not from mishandling. Of the 3 Batman 608, all were pristine packages but 1 had bad color rub on the top left corner.

Let's be real... comic books aren't aimed for kids either at $3.99, $4.99 a book. It's paper... and it's ridiculous. deadleg and aardvark88 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
