Fair price. They charged $75 for Super Adaptoid, that was an existing mold. This one looks really dope and he easily could have a $100 price. Dope af, I'm in.
Comparing this guy to other action figure brands, this price is amazing. Like yeah, revoltech and mafex figures are amazing, but $120 for a 6 inch import vs $85 for a massive, beefy dragon man is insane
@@lildipper1047 To be fair u are comparing import figures to a domestic brand specialty figure. A lot of collectors are overlooking the fact that Hasbro released deluxe figures such as MOJO, Apocalypse and Blob (all more recognized) for much less.

The way I see it is we had a $75 Adaptoid that was some fairly oazy reuse and most 6 inch imports are $100+. A new mold, giant Dragon man for $85 is way less than I expected and a very fair price for me.
Awesome show guys. Regardless of what I think about the price, from all indications it looks like Dragon Man is a well-designed product. I pray that ML continues with this program to see some other Marvel characters to receive this super-dooper-deluxe treatment. Thanks again for the video!

@thestrongcollectors I can't handle the charge for 2 when it does ship. I'm retired, fixed income, I'm barely able to stay in this hobby as it is. Usually I'm at $200 at month, but August I got slammed with $500 on the first! I barely afforded groceries! Lot's of high dollar Figures came in.
I ordered 500, and will using a few units in a climate controlled storage facility to store them. I’ll be speculating and holding on to them for approximately 5 years. Depending on worldwide weather events, political events, war, and other factors, I think I will do ok. The initial financial hit that 500 cost me, shocked my wife, but I explained to her the “wisdom” of going big and investing in Dragon Man. Thanks
We definitely saw a lot of people do it with galactus and the after market price is pretty low. I’m interested to see what happens with the giant man since there were a lot less made.
I believe lesser of dragon man that are made more he's going too be worth plus the new dragon man is bigger then the original one plus better looking i have the original dragon man and ive been comparing pics of the new one with the old one
@thestrongcollectors but the old one still holds its ground and still is a really good figure tight joints no chipping or peeling of the paint still looks and feels good in hand as it did when I first purchased it
The FF DragonMan was pricey only because it was very rare. This will not be. Everyone who wants one gets one. If people are complaining about the price now , I wouldn’t think people would be comfortable paying a price that would yield a profit.
It's a bit different with this one, though, since it's made to order. They only make them if someone orders. So, if you order more, it low-key actually helps the community out.
lol. 😂😂😂 Dakota ready to scalp the 💩 out of these. Of course I would have loved if it was cheaper. Who wouldn’t. It’s an ok price. I have to see where I’m at before the last day. I have way too much stuff on preorder
Dragon Man is one of those characters that I never needed until I realized how much he was going for on the aftermarket. Those super high prices had me intrigued and I wondered whether it was because other collectors loved the character that much, or it was just a scarce figure at this point. I'm leaning towards it being the latter since this was an old Toy Biz figure. This new one looks really good and now that I'm catching up on old FF comics, I'm guessing I'll finally see what made the character so cool in the first place. I'm in for 2.
I think the ToyBiz one still looks awesome. Not better but I see the hype. I think this one just appeals to fan who don’t even know him. It’s a fun mix of dragon, monster, fantasy that just looks cool.
Im ok with Dragon Man being $85 because i predicted that the price would be anywhere between $80-$120.. but i only ordered 1.. As far as the ToyBiz Dragon Man..i GUARANTEE that the price will go down the closer Marvel Legends Dragon Man comes to being released.
I’d still pick dragon man. A substantial figure is going to beat out 3 standard size figures any day unless those three are the top 3 of the year, then they’d stand a chance.
i don't think any of those are pinless and yes i'd still pick dragon man over those three because i know they will all get made again. Dragon man is a lot less likely to get made again.
Can we normalise not buying more than 2 of each figures ? I’m sick of having to compete against rich ass holes that stay up all night refreshing the page ready to buy 7
@thestrongcollectors I agree. It's different mentality with made to order stuff. Wouldn't one effectively actually be helping the community? Whether someone asks way to much or to low is up to them
@@thestrongcollectors I don’t know if I’m just being stupid and I don’t mean this in a rude way but can u explain why it might be better to buy multiple?
In this case the more you buy the more there are on the market. These aren’t going to be put on store shelves or for sale again. So if they don’t get ordered now, they don’t get made. If someone orders an extra then someone who’s not collecting right now or didn’t preorder, now there’s one they can buy from someone else.
Btw if you really want to see one of the MAIN reasons that Marvel Legends or ANY plastic collector items retail prices go up or down.. check of the fossil fuel prices at the time it was released.. plastic is made with petroleum which is derived from fossil fuel...so before anyone starts SCREAMING about how GREEDY Hasbro is..they should check out what ANTI fossil fuel policies that the GOVERNMENT has recently put in place.
You’re 100% right and If you posted this in the MarvelLegends sub or on Instagram you’d be yelled at by sweaty man babies and called a shill lol It seems there’s very little collectors that realize why these figures are priced the way they are, they just cry “muh pain detail, muh articulation, accessories, pinless joints blah blah” which to a small margin is fair but I don’t think they understand the mechanics that go into making PLASTIC figures.
I could see that maybe being a factor but also i kind of doubt it. Yeah the price could go up but if the fossil fuel prices went down they wouldn't drop the prices for us. if the price of fossil fuel was cut in half tomorrow we'd still be paying the same prices on figures.
@@thestrongcollectors I agree that even tho Marvel Legends or any plastic product prices go down once they've gone up.. the price of fossil fuel is definitely one of the reasons thet prices go up. You also have to take into consideration that fossil fuel costs also affect distribution costs..& that once they go up....they usually don't go down either. Btw I enjoy talking about the real life costs..it's better than being one those collectors the blame ALL price increases on GREED
I'm going for at least 2.....not so much for the resale value but because this is a made to order figure.....if you get him and Hasbro ships it with a broken part or 2 right hands or whatever......I want a second one to make sure I have at least one perfect example of the figure with zero factory issues cause Hasbro customer service sucks and they ain't gonna have replacement parts on hand for this guy.......buyer beware right?....so 2 as a precaution 😂

@@thestrongcollectors yeah it might level out. It could also go up when people no longer have multiples they’re willing to part with so readily though. I know I have no plans to sell mine
I would still buy three Dragon Man figures if I had the money. One to unbox and display, one to sell on eBay and one to sell later at a hefty profit.
I think that would be the ideal way to test the market with him.

I want 2, but I have a budget of 1!
We don’t get charged until it ships right?

@@thestrongcollectors ; very true!!
Aftermarket could easily go between 150-200.
I think you’re right
I'd highly recommend NOT buying 2. Many will do it, and the number produced will decrease their value, just like the He-Man Eternia set.
We definitely saw a lot of people do it with galactus and the after market price is pretty low. I’m interested to see what happens with the giant man since there were a lot less made.
@@thestrongcollectorsto be fair Galactus is still selling more than what it was when it came out.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that the new one will be way better than the old one.
@thestrongcollectors but the old one still holds its ground and still is a really good figure tight joints no chipping or peeling of the paint still looks and feels good in hand as it did when I first purchased it
For sure. For the folks that don’t want the new one and have the old one it’s still a cool figure.
@@thestrongcollectors but they both looks so different you can display them together
The FF DragonMan was pricey only because it was very rare. This will not be. Everyone who wants one gets one. If people are complaining about the price now , I wouldn’t think people would be comfortable paying a price that would yield a profit.
I don’t see it going down in price in the aftermarket though after it comes out
Two? I did.👍
That’s some strong collecting.
In My Opinion Not Really Look I Understand It But I Rather Get One So Other Can Get The Copy
It's a bit different with this one, though, since it's made to order. They only make them if someone orders. So, if you order more, it low-key actually helps the community out.
Yeah except buying more in this case actually means there’s more for others to buy later.
The last time I tried to buy Dragon Man he was $1000. Im a MOC collector though
The ToyBiz one was that high? Wow. Much more affordable now.
The love for Dragon man is nowhere near galactus or Giant man. Maybe buy one to sell but I would not buy a bunch
True. I don’t think I’d stock up like crazy but one extra would probably be fine. I really doubt he’ll go for less money than the preorders.
lol. 😂😂😂 Dakota ready to scalp the 💩 out of these. Of course I would have loved if it was cheaper. Who wouldn’t. It’s an ok price. I have to see where I’m at before the last day. I have way too much stuff on preorder
Haha if I wasn’t moving into the bus I’d probably buy an extra one.
I can’t wait to sell off my extra ones for $150+
Everyone is complaining about the price, then it’ll come out and all those people will have fomo
I think that’s a realistic price that he could go for after release.
Reuse of this mold???....Mangog?.....just saying it could work.......maybe
Maybe but I definitely want mangog abit bigger and taller than dragon man
Possibly. I feel like it would be very limited in the reuse.

100%. It’s a good figure but not good enough it’ll hold the super high price now with the new one coming.
