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.
Here is a video that goes into detail in laying out the partnership between Hasbro and Formlabs in bringing the Selfie Series to market. No Star Wars figures are shown but the process is the same.
Leaked a few months ago, Hasbro today officially revealed the Selfie Series – a way for collectors to get their own likeness on select Star Wars, Marvel, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers and Ghostbuster figures.
Star Wars options include Mandalorian Warrior, Imperial Stormtrooper, X-wing Pilot and Rebel Princess for $59.99 each*
