Gizmodo has posted a new article today detail Friday’s launch of Hasbro’s new Selfie Series of customized 6″ figures. The main takeaway from the article is that despite being initially promoted with a $60 MSRP per figure, the price has jumped significantly (33%) to $80, pushing many curious collectors from “maybe” into the “definitely not” category. No explanation has been given as to the increase but maybe that willl be covered at this weekend’s Hasbro Pulse Con.
In our hunt for fortune and glory, we have discovered a few code names tied to Hasbro products for the Indiana Jones franchise. These codes are not from one particular assortment/scale as the prices range from $22.99-$50.99. If I were the adventurous type, I’d guess that these are mostly of the 6″ variety with a couple role play items as well.
Let us know if Indiana Jones product are something you’d like for us to continue to cover as some should be making their debut next week at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Following up on another report, it appears that the “Convention Exclusive 5” listing that surfaced yesterday corresponds to a possible carded Black Series 40th Anniversary Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi for Hasbro Pulse Con.
