I just received Blob from Amazon yesterday, and I gotta say it's one of the most unsatisfying purchases I've made. "Buyer's remorse" and all that. I wanted him for the Brotherhood since I've gotten the rest and he was the only one missing, but boy howdy I did NOT want to pay what he cost.

Hmm. I don't know how much you paid for him, but I think Blob is a great figure. He can hit a ton of poses and balances really well. I don't like doing the "won't need another" declarations, but I can't imagine replacing him.

I like the Blob up to his neck, where he suddenly becomes Garbage Pail Kid.

I paid $67 and change for him at Amazon. And while I'm not one who usually laments the price of a figure (they are what they are), I guess because I'm not a huge X-Guy, I just didn't want to pay that much for a figure I only got to finish a roster.

He's also one of the best Marvel Legends of 2023.  I ranked him 7th for the year on my objective list, and I ranked him 2nd on my subjective personal favorites for the year.

I do like the heft of the figure. I feel like I could knock someone out with him if I tossed him at an intruder from across the room. 😀

This sounds accurate - it's the angry face that I really dislike and would like to use. The haircut on that one also doesn't help. Mine stays in neutral.

Walmart dropped the prices on a bunch of stuff — Night Creeper is $12+, the Falcon/Quarrel 2-pack is $42 and the Enoch/Night Trooper set is now at $15.

Oh man... love saving money, hate the buying and rebuying and returning because Walmart won't price match.

I hate it too, and maybe next year I'll commit to just letting things be... but I now have a part of my collecting spreadsheet dedicated to keeping track of what I'm returning where. It's an all new facet to my addiction.

Warlord Chuck dropped to $6.72 so I ordered 3. I have some custom ideas to use the other 2 for.

How badly is that figure selling? Yikes.

I bet sales dropped to zero the second the Safari version was announced.

@grumpymatt 

To be fair, it is a very one-off design/figure. I had passed on it originally because I have no connection to that specific version of Chuck. I wasn't reading the comics any longer when that came out so I didn't feel the need to get it. However, for $6.72 per figure? I can think of a couple of uses for an all black base body.
