Ahh, yes. I remember being at RIComicCon and somebody had those 2 packs up for $100 a piece.
Not happening for me but to each their own.
While I never dived into the Heroes myself, i always took a look when i was in-store .
The sculpts were always interesting and a bit more dynamic than a regular, static, vinyl sculpt.
Ouch. I don't blame you for passing. My girlfriend got them for me one Xmas. No idea what she paid for them, but I hope it wasn't that much.
I dove headfirst into these guys because I thought they were so dang awesome. I still have the G1 & Beast series, though I'm trying to unload the movie figs since they don't hold as much charm for me anymore. Sucks that the line ended before we got BM Primal & Jetstorm. We've gotten some similar lines since then, but none of them grabbed me like these did. There's something appealing about the RH aesthetic that later lines weren't able to match.
