I really like the new Wolverine, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I have the first one they did and ordered the updated one and I just don't need 3 sixth scale Wolverine figures. I'm in for original characters like Nightcrawler and Sinister, pending price. I'm terrified to see what the tariffs do to them.

I added the only pre-order figure I saw, the vinyl Alien, to try and see what the tariff surcharge would be, but it didn't add any. Hoping to get a sense of it's literally going to be 145% of the figure's cost.

I played around with this to calculate the remaining figures I'd want from them:

So if I want RGB Winston by himself it'll be about $250 instead of $101.

If I want animated X-Men's Nightcrawler instead of the usual $240 it'll be about $590

1/12 MOTU He-Man is said to come in cheaper at let's say $85, which would then be around $210

I'm not paying $600 for Nightcrawler even though I really wanted him.  I'm not paying more than double for He-Man which I only kinda wanted.  Winston I'm iffy on but leaning on just ceasing the line and worrying about buying it later - or never.

In the long run I don't need any of this stuff that badly.  Mondo can hold off on it's preorders until the tariff issues are resolved, move production elsewhere (likely the smarter move) or go headlong into a wall trying to get me to preorder a $600 Nightcrawler.

I'm willing to wait or do without.  If they want to move production elsewhere or home (I doubt these 12" dolls cost the $200+ they usually fetch to begin with, so I doubt they'll cost $600 to produce even in the U.S.) I'll continue too purchase from them.
