Recently, Pop! Vinyl released their Arrested Development line of vinyl figures, and the ONLY that should really matter to anyone is the "I Blue Myself" Tobias Funke. He's perfect in every way...except one:
They made that one a rare chase figure! (1 out of every 36 figures is a Blue Tobias)
So now, you can spend normal human-sized money ($10) to get a never-nude bald man with glasses, or you can blow a giant blue wad of cash ($50+++) to get the Blue Tobias that you deserve.
This is what we want ^^^
This is what they're willing to sell us ^^^
I'm almost tempted to buy a regular one and blue him myself!
Has anyone seen a blue in the wild? I've yet to even see any of them anywhere, but from what I've seen online, places like Newbury Comics sets it aside and charges $59.99 for it in-store anyhow. Is it even legit at this point to have "chase" figures when they're not blind-boxes? Seems more like a retailer rebate/incentive program to me. Even worse, some store employees reported receiving a box (12+) and didn't get a single blue. Only one per master case.
Considering how monumental the blue Tobias is, they absolutely should have made blue the regular and the never-nude the chase. That would have made both crazy collectors AND mild fans happy.
My buy price is and will be $20. Unfortunately, I don't think It'll ever go that low.
Sidenote: no Bob Loblaw or Lucille 2? Instead we get two Michaels and two Busters? For shame...
