Robby the Robot is Cool, but $430 of Cool?

Okay, I know that 12-inch scale action figures can get expensive, but $430 for this 12-inch scale Robby the Robot* action figure is just insane. I mean, the photo makes it look like an awesome toy, but for $430? For that price I could grab two 12-inch scale Iron Man action figures from Hot Toys.

And if the robot is 12-inches tall then this isn’t actually a 12-inch scale action figure; I’m pretty sure the robot’s supposed to be taller than 6-feet tall. Still, the photo does make this toy look neat.

“A true must have for any fan of the classic sci-fi movie, Forbidden Planet! The iconic Robby the Robot stands 12-inches tall, and is made of plastic. Robby also includes lights and sounds from the movie, just as you remember! The figure comes in a 4-color window box with flap. Robby’s hood, ear, pants, pistons, antenna, head, mouth are made of injection plastic. Figure is articulated at the head, wrist and arms can turn. Pants can move up and down.”
