Marvel Legends Target Exclusive Katy Figure - A Tale Of Two Prices

This wave woulda sold better had Hasbro just included an alternate classic 80s Zemo head sculpt. I woulda bought the entire wave for that & then sold off the MCU figs. But nooooooo, some genius at Hasbro thought the more modern version was the popular look for him & no one had the cojones to say, "I beg to differ".

The Katy figure, a couple Shang Chi's and several of the AI Ironman's have been clogging the pegs at my local target for a couple months now

Visited Target the other day, and shelves were a waste land. No GI Joe, a smattering of the Villains wave (bunch of Hoods) and a big swath of Katy.

Think we all saw that coming.

Figure looks good for what it is, though. I just wonder what they were thinking.

(Hears the thoughts of fans over the Eternals wave....)

I saw a lone Roadblock repaint on the pegs today at my local Tarjay & 4 AI IM, 3 Shang Chi's & 9 Katy's. They're at 50% off. Ghostbusters figs were also going for 50% off as well. My local GS had everyone in the BOTBG wave minus Yuriko.

Just got back from hitting 3 Targets. Saw like a total of 17 Katy's rotting on the pegs. What's the big "Hype" bout this character that some of you were going bonkers over? She'll probably be at Ross by the end of summer.

Dude. In Florida, the retro 3.75in are $19.99. How fucked up is that

I wouldn't get them if they were $5.99. 80's level POA & they want double digit cheddar!

Whoa- where is that? I thought that $11.79, in the city of Chicago, was a bit of a stiff mark-up.

Some Targets in "higher cost of living" areas charge more for some items. For example, the Targets in my area have the 3.75" retro Marvel figures for $11.79, not $9.99

As I feared, the articulation for this figure is way hindered by the outfit (but its better than I thought- there is torso movement). Again, the design and the detail are just beautiful. If you're into "ordinary" civilians for photos and displays, etc. yeah this works well because it adds some diversity to the Jessica Jones/Gwen or Everett Ross/Stan Lee/Lue Cage types they've already got out there. But I like my action figures to have as much articulation as possible.
