Good news is it sounds like they're making the kind of figures we really want to see...

Bad news is prices are starting at $79.99.

As long as its quality stuff, so be it. The 12" stuff shown at Toy Fair was a joke.

They couldn't show one figure? That's a load of crap.

A well done CC, Viper, or Cobra Trooper might spark my interest. Otherwise, I see no need to spend 80 bucks on a 12" figure with all the 3 3/4" stuff coming out.

I'd probably pay $80 for a Televiper, but that's about it.

You could buy the entire new 12 inch line plus a 12 inch Indy from Hasbro directly for that price!

While I can't say I'll get them all, I'm sure I'll end up with at least a couple if they're up to Sideshow's normal standards.

$80 sounds steep, but it's par for the course in the premium 12" figure market. If you don't like it Hasbro will have cheaper 12" figures. But if you want highly detailed limited run collectors figures you've got to pay for 'em. Such is life.
