So, I really like Queen, and today I discovered that Figuarts made a Freddie Mercury figure.
So, I have a few questions about it. What's the average price and used, and what's the quality like? I only have one other real figurine, and it's the Epoch C-Works Tekken 4 Steve Fox.

Meant to say "new and used".
>>5834476
What do you meant "new and used"?
It's either "new" or "used".
>>5834480
I mean what are the prices of it when it's new, and what are the prices of it when it's used, generally?
>>5834476
You're fucked either way.
I'm trying REALLY HARD not to be mean here, but if you google 'figuarts freddie mercury' one of the links will be for a listing that's on amazon. That's your best bet for a decent price for this thing.

Go on mandarake and see, they list both used and new ones. You can get an idea of averages from there.

I just googled it, and although there's no Amazon listing, all the prices seem to be within the 40-80 dollar range. I'm guessing that's relatively cheap compared to other figures of this type?

New: 9,000 zenny
Fucked: 7,500 zenny

Knock yourself out. It's a really solid figure on its own and it's a lot of fun to pose with other figures.
I paid $70 just to take this stupid photo.
I would let mine go but eh ole freddie has grown on me
If you have any go to a local comic shop that's where I got mine. Sometimes you can get an okay deal and you don't have to pay shipping etc. Good luck

That's reminds me a lot of this.

Yep I wanted to be the first to do a sailor Freddie Mercury toy. But another person did it just days before :'(
>>5834527
Honestly, that seems like something Freddie would wear on stage if he were still alive.

About $50-55 is the retail price(yen is in flux). It was actually brought over by the company Bluefin to American retailers, so I wouldn't order it from Japanese sites like AmiAmi or HLJ; stick to known sites like Amazon or a domestic hobby toy retailer, like BigBadToystore.
Overall its a pretty average Figuarts from that price range, maybe a little overpriced, but compared to most of what you'd see domestically its fanastic. there where some Freddie Mercury figures about 9 years back, and the quality on this is miles ahead.
Just be gentle with it; its not fragile but Figuarts have some delicate bits that can take some getting used to. Just think a little about leverage, for example.and move things at the point they give least resistance rather than move it blindly; for example, if you want to move a leg, move it at the point where the joint meets the body, bot just moving the foot.

I didn't know there was more than one. I thought there was only the new one.
>>5834546
The other ones are approaching a decade old and have no functional articulation. Imagine a small rubbery statuette.

Ah, so they're just shit.

Here you go. Use Google next time.
