Target 2023 TVC Boba Fett Repaints - Kenner, Marvel, Dark Horse
Jeff:
*sigh* Another Boba Fett at an unfair MSRP. #bobafetttax
Morak Boba Fett with some new parts for $20.99 was harsh, but another repaint of this Fett sculpt for $21 is just dicking collectors over because you can.
2021 VC186 Fett (ROTJ) = $12.99
2022 VC186 Fett repaint in Droids colors= $15.99 @ Target
2023 VC186 Fett repaint in Kenner colors = $20.99 @ Target ?!?
Do better Hasbro and Target. >:( [/end rant.]
Available for pre-order Wednesday, 11/9 at 1pm ET exclusively at Target. UPDATE: 11/16 at 1pm ET exclusively at Target.
It does look really nice... but $21 for yet another repaint of this sculpt? ::)
Rob:
For the first time in 27 years of collecting, I am starting to truly loathe what Hasbro is doing with the hobby.
Nicklab:
This might be where I get off this train. This is a simplified version of the 2021 figure - simpler paint apps and no soft goods cloak. That 2021 figure was $13.99. How the **** does Hasbro justify selling this for $21?!?!? A 50% price increase?!?!?! This sort of **** is turning people off.

One has to wonder if they are doing this on purpose regarding TVC.
Rob:
I doubt it. More likely, TVC collecting has shrunk but the people still doing it are generally die hards or people who are new and barely remember $7 figures, and they all think this is normal. So Hasbro I’d finding they sell nearly the same number if a figure at $21 as they did at $13 and they’re taking advantage. If sales do drop enough, they’ll do some small price cut and we’ll all be happy about it even though it’s an increase over a year or three prior.
