38 bucks is way too much for a DXF. The tagline in the ad feels like an all-around lie since it's hardly gonna be the best looking figure of the year, nor is it particularly afforable, given the type of fig it is. I paid less than that for three Haikyuu figures from the same line. This one looks cool, but I wouldn't pay more than 2000 yen for it

I'm not into my figures and statues for the most part, but alongside my Judge Dredd, The Goon and Hellboy busts I get the feeling i'm going to NEED this mother fucker for my office space.

This figure of Saitama looks awesome, but I personally think $38 might be stretching it a bit.

So now what we need is one of him stretched out watching TV, eating chips, and maybe with an optional arm extra for scratching himself someplace important. For we all know this is at the core of the true Saitama experience.

Very Happy

As for the price, $38 is a lot less than what I dropped on Motoko Kusanagi. It's worth it to somebody somewhere. This I won't get, but the above, hmmm... I might just go for that.

It's expensive for the type of figure it is. Like I said in my opening post, I bought three figures from the same DXF brand for less than that. These figs are also not really great when it comes to details and painting: the belt looks really shoddy, and the face isn't quite right. It's definitely overpriced because of the show's popularity. It's a neat figure, the cape looks pretty cool, but not worth that price for me.

This doesn't seem like a very good deal for the quality. :/
I feel like for almost 40 bucks the paint can look way better.
