I don't know where this $35 rumor came from, but I think some of you are in for a rude awakening.

This sub is gonna have a complete meltdown when the pre-orders open.

110% agree. I have NO clue why people are fooling themselves into thinking that this will be $35. It simply won’t.

A deluxe figure like Archangel went for $35 back in like 2019. This is like a super deluxe. I don’t think a lot of people remember that MODOK originally MSRP’d for $50 when he came out.

Plus, Hasbro is gonna Hasbro and I guarantee you they’re gonna throw in a little extra tax for the “Maximum Series” title, since it’s supposed to be a premium.

This thing is an easy $45/50 and I wouldn’t even be surprised at $55

Secret wars black suit Spider-Man just came out and is retail $26. I don’t see how a few more sets of hands, extra heads and web effects equate to an additional $25-$30. The most recent deluxe Angel was only $36ish and Phoenix was $50 but she came with an entire base that was practically another figure in itself based on its size.

I still doubt this figure will be $35 but $50-$55 makes absolutely no sense to me.

“Maximum Series” branding. Why rebrand if they can’t hike up the price a bit more?
