Welcome back! For what it's worth, some improvements have come along with the price increases. Many of the figures are sturdier and pretty much all of them have improved articulation compared to just a few years ago. I recommend getting that new Huffer, especially if he fills a void in your collection.
If you like them, buy them. Many years I just looked at pictures of the classics toys, but when I started buying the figures, it made me more happy than looking at their pictures only.
