Let me get this out of the way: It's not a bad idea to rerelease a cheaper alternative for characters at a lower price by cutting out extras.
Using Biggie Smalls as a comparison:
Ultimates has 6 extra hands, 2 hats, 2 heads, glass, and a cane that deluxe lacks.
That's 12 less accessories. That's not deluxe... That's bare minimum. Marvel Legends usually gives us: Signature Accessor(y)/(ies), a pair of alternate hands and in some cases a head.
This Bare Bones Biggie should be $27...
But Super7 has been skimping out on accessories for their Ultimates.
To the point that they hold accessories hostage and force you to buy entire waves directly from them... which I can't due to their Shipping to Puerto Rico shenanigans.
The sad part is that I'd probably buy these begrudgingly. Mostly because I missed out on these due to S7 Shenanigans.
I wonder if Super7 will later on sell "$25 Upgrade packs" to make the deluxe figures more deluxe. (aka Ultimates minus packaging)
Oooh! I feel a new rant incoming!
