Of all these figures lines imitating older lines id say these are the closest and best from a visual perspective, packaging is great too Also bendies is a brave decision - never the most popular line snd the metal tools for production are individual so they can’t mix and match like other figures can So far this line is 10/10 - just need to hold one in hand for the feel They’ve sold out whatever the put up for the patreon Tbf even though I find 2 of the 3 annoying at times I’ve said all along the way they’d approached this project has been great They didn’t announce it and then have radio silence, they announced it after a lot of the work had been done They look great, the take in and out the box is great, packaging great, card so you don’t have to clip the one on the back, this is genuinely a labour of love and it shows Can't say I'm shocked they sold out, but that's really good that they did on the first day. Hopefully that means more sets available for the January release. I agree with you, the fact that these high profile collectors know what fans want from their own experience is such a good thing. It does nothing but help the line, and if changes need to be made at any point, they'll know it as they'll see it too. Deserve respect for doing the Bendies, one of the least popular lines in WWF/E's figure runs but they've really made it work. Fair play to them! |

Does anyone know how much these ended up costing? $100 for the four prior to shipping and etc. I didn't grab a set, but I would imagine somewhere between $110 and $120 when all is said and done. |

30 each including postage is not that bad
These will be costing a lot more to make than regular figures

Value is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm okay with $30 each for these based on what I've seen so far. Lord knows other boutique toy lines cost more.

I'd say $30 for each is far an away a fair price for them. No problem with that whatsoever. I will be interested what they fetch on the secondary market, because I want the Adam Bomb coming out but I don't want to order the full set. Debating whether that's a good or a bad idea tbh. |

It would be interesting to see how these sell to those that are not major marks and beyond that group. That will measure the real success of the line. That price point is up there in my opinion.

It will be. See to be fair, they could have a very profitable run even if it was only the group and "Major Marks" that were buying them. The outside collecting world will determine how many they actually produce though. |

Their Christmas vid this year is the history of the official WWF/WWE Bendems line. Curious to see if that vid provides any lift on the value of the vintage figs, much like we've seen from their LJN and Hasbro lines. If it works, MWFP will look like geniuses as collectors will be wanting to spend money on new product which MWFP just happens to have available.

Selfishly, I'm hoping next year they do the Classic Superstars line as their Christmas episode. Desperate for that! If it adds value to the figures I have, I wouldn't be mad. |

I despise him as a person, but the Nick Gage bendie also looks good!

Damn, that does look really good. I wants, I wants. I love the outfit they went with, and it looks clean as hell!

Can’t remember if anyone mentioned price when they went up earlier but they’re $100 so $25 each.
I think that’s very reasonable - again remember these all require unique tooling for every new figure v others where tools can be reused or repurposed

$100 for those four bendies? That makes it easier for me to pass. Everything about them is great but at that price point, it’s just asking too much (even if the profit margin is slim already). Best of luck as this line seems really cool.
