I love that movie so much, but check this sadness out, my daughter refuses to watch any Muppets because she has recurring Muppet nightmares. Like even when she hasn't watched Muppets in forever she'll wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat and tell me she had another Muppet nightmare.

Great review. My initial reaction to seeing the figure this morning was that I don't need it, and I wasn't sure if I even liked it. After seeing your review, I do like it, but I'm still going to pass, mainly I need every dollar for the Rising Sons wave (need the All In plus some extras). I do look forward to the new parts showing up on future figures, and perhaps I can trade for one at some point. I do like A Christmas carol a lot, but I definitely favor the Muppets version. If this was a Michael Caine as Scrooge, I'd buy the heck out of it.

Nice figure. Only bought one this time. Unfortunately, value is tied to supply and it seems like 4H are making too many figures nowadays. I've seen auctions end for below the original 4H store prices recently. That's a problem and not a good sign.
@DorkLair9 ай бұрын
The pendulum will swing back eventually. They make so many figures because their audience is continually growing. If this pattern you are seeing of auctions ending well below retail continues, more and more people like yourself will opt to skip buying up front, which means 4H will start making less. Which will swing the supply/demand dynamic back to scarcity, and people will go back to complaining about the high aftermarket prices being "not a good sign" instead.
