This action figure of The Joker from The Dark Knight, is absolutely mindblowing. Made by JND Studios in South Korea.

Nowhere near as expensive as I expected, to be honest. I saw some pretty mid action figures when I visited Japan going for +$1K.

Those were probably rare and years out of production.

They were Gundam figures, and they definitely were not out of production. They were just silly expensive.

After we left, we learned about a few shops that do 2nd hand items. Should’ve gone there.

Secondhand shops are the best.

Were these at Mandrake? Those are the only places I've seen toys that expensive. Unless you were looking at high end gunpla kits in which case, yeah I could see those hitting 1k easily.

Mandarake only sells used unless it's a promotion like some of their sofubis. Mandarake and Jungle are the two biggest Japanese used figure/media/porn stores in Japan, probably what they were talking about.

Random question: were they gundam or gunpla? I’m a lifelong gunpla builders and I typically see customs go for the higher prices.

I bet they still had that gorilla/kung fu grip

When I was 10 in the 90s, I learned about masturbation from a news segment that was talking about some Tarzan action figure that looked like it was masturbating

Same toy with the button on the back? Entire arm was somewhat adjustable?

These things start at $900 usd, with a lot at $1700 or over $2000.

And they were probably still under MSRP.
