    My right shoulder joint is a little bit loose, not too bad but is that anyway I can tighten it? Thnaks.

    It was a used one. Feared it may not be reissued anytime soon and missing one has been bugging me.

    Chances of a reissue went up now that he bought the used one on Ebay. It's like when you hit Ship Stack/Pile of Loot and only after that the item you were waiting for comes into stock. :)

    So I see Mercenary has been in stock in multiple places some time now - eBay, Ali Express, reputable seller sites like Baba, Sara Zhang, etc. Was this is a controlled, high-profit margin re-release?

    Yes I’m sure. Maybe it was a couple weeks back for Baba, but definitely recent. I’ve seen the figure available the past several weeks to months in various places. All of them charging $120 and up.

    I'm wondering if this isn't something as simple as a "warehouse find". That or someone decided to hold a few cases back for a rainy day. I know there is a seller on Facebook that seems to be able to sell just about any FT figure you could possibly want.

    For the right price....

    Great toy, lame face with zero character. Hopefully they do a 2.0 of these, their facesculpts are 100 times better these days.

    One of the Chinese distributors had a very small amount they sold to retail at retail cost instead of wholesale. I don’t know if it was held stock for defects or a genuine “oops, look what we found!”. From what I heard they were snapped up in seconds. Currently no word on any rerelease or perfect fusion version.

    The face sculpt looks perfectly fine to me. Additional swappable faces with different facial expressions would be a nice touch.
