    Not really even Fpcore has it at that price.

    There's only the one. They have it mislabeled.

    If you're a FPCore premium member, it's $88.99 shipped. That's the lowest I can find.

    Speaking of fpcore weren't they supposed to ship out the last member item by the end of last year so we could start fresh in January?

    People changed their preference from CHUG to MP, and other companies (MMC) are making more popular characters.

    FP's portfolio is still by far the most diverse, and their figures are still awesome. Just got Crox a few weeks ago and there is no way in hell Hasbro's Skullcruncher will be half as awesome.

    Absolutely not, but then he won't cost even half what Crox cost.

    As I said to a friend of mine, I'm absolutely sure Crox is better than Hasbro's version will be, but the question is if he's good enough to warrant the price difference. And that...I'm less sure of.

    I know that for me Crox is the last of the FP Headmaster I've bought. Not because he's a bad figure -- he's not: he's pretty darn good -- but simply because they feel dated. These kind of figures were absolutely awesome and incredible a few years ago when the line started -- although even at the time I lamented the small size: they're too small even for classics.

    But with slow trickle of these figures FP have been surpassed in what you get for your money. For the same price as a FP Headmaster I can get a MMC figure and that is a big difference.

    And it's unlikely they would give it the obscure Croctimus recolor, which is the only reason I'm interested. Though I do wonder if Maketoys will do the same thing (make Skullcruncher then release an OP treatment) after their success with Cupola.

    Sweet thank you! Not only $5 cheaper but they include free shipping with it :)

    Yes, indeed...

    They don't pump out a ton of releases like a lot of them, but they're doing the same amount of figures they've been doing since the beginning. They've never been heavy hitters, but the majority of their releases are still awesome.

    Looking at that croc-head in person, I can't unsee Uncle Deadly from the Muppets.

    Got mine today, he's great!! Thanks again for the help finding him.

    Hey ToyDojo I pointed out above (5 days ago) that you have a typo in your listing for this guy. Considering the power of Google search it seems like you're doing yourselves a disservice not fixing that.

    For a Con exclusive i think the price was ok, probably the lowest it could ever be had for. I sold that Crox i bought and it helped fund this one :)
