So McFarlane revealed a bunch of new Demon Slayer figures for $30 each today, with only some face plates to justify the price increase. They of course experimented with elite editions for $60 with a lot of accessories and sometimes decent paint.Their Warhammer figures are roaming around $35 when they were 19.99 only a few years ago.How high do you think they can go for basic figures before they hit diminishing returns and they just end up with not enough sales? Is $35 the limit? $40? They're especially in a dangerous spot for it because there's a fanbase but also lots of people who don't like 7inch figures and don't like the way McFarlane figures are done. If he alienates his core, sales will be down.Also in that vein do you think undermining the elite edition Doom Slayer so soon with the new $35 version was a bad idea and could blow up in their face and lead people passing on elite editions and waiting for the cheaper version?

Looking at the accessories, McFarlane was able to do the same types of things with previous figures (multiple face places, multiple hands, weapons, even effect parts) with these figures even when they were only $20. The first couple waves weren't "great," but the newer figures were surprisingly good for McFarlane figures, and especially for the anime properties he has done...He has most of the Demon Slayer characters done, there's only maybe 3 or 4 that need to be made unless he actually starts going into the demons themselves, or remakes older figures that didn't turn out so good.I dropped his Spawn line, because those figures sucked for their prices. Most McFarlane stuff seems destined for the clearance racks anyway. They're definitely not worth the ballooning prices.
