See this little guy here?

(Sorry for the giant photos btw!)




Cute isn't he? He loses some of his cuteness when you look at how much his eBay seller is asking for him - $199.99!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Edward-Elric-plush-doll-figure-official-Banpresto-Authentic/371053166390?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D22946%26meid%3D7833568240492911455%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D9894%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D321397908331 Whaaat?? O_O!

As if that wasn't bad enough, there's another Ed plushie -



- going for....

wait for it...

$918.99!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULLMETAL-ALCHEMIST-BROTHERHOOD-EDWARD-PLUSH-GENUINE-LICENSED-GE-ANIMATION-/321238699819?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acb518f2b OMFG! NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS?? FOR A PLUSHIE?? jeeeez. I love my plushies as well as the next fangirl but this is just outrageous. :/ Don't these people realize that this fandom isn't what it used to be? *sigh* I don't think these guys would sell at these prices even back in the fandom's heyday. :(

Yikes!

I've seen this done before--insane costs for something not worth the insane cost. And then I turn around and find the same damn item for a REASONABLE price. This happens on ebay and sometimes with third party vendors on Amazon. I have a Brotherhood binder that I bought for about ten bucks--and found the same damn notebook for 900.00. It's a scam, all right--but it doesn't always work, heeheehee. And I sure as shit didn't pay that much when I bought 'em...Most I ever paid for a plushie was for my CoS Ed and Roy when the movie first came out, and there was no way I wasn't going to get them. I later got a second Eyepatch!CoS Roy used for ten bucks--he gets to sleep with me while the original is with Ed and Sebastian on my bookcase

I adore my CoS Roy and Ed plushies!! They're sitting right here with me, up on their shelf of course! :) They represent a bit of a paradox for me tho. I love them dearly but refuse to ever rewatch CoS. The movie ended so badly for me (Ed going BACK to our world?? After TWO YEARS of trying to get home?? WTF??) that I just can't bring myself to put myself thru that angst again. :( Someone once said that it was "in character" for Ed to do what he did. I call bullshit. :/ Either way, plushies get kisses; the DVD gets the stink-eye. Go fig. :/

That $900 Ed plushie up there? I like him well enough but there's no way I would ever spend that much money on a plushie. Who has THAT kind of cash just laying around to spend on things like plushies anyway?? Whoever they are, I'd like to meet 'em. Maybe I can get 'em to adopt me! LOL

I actually have both of them lol I got one at a con and the other for like maybe 25 or 30 on ebay I think. they do charge a lot for these >

[amethyst_koneko]

I have the first one but not the second one. :/ I kinda intended to get the second one, the one listed for $900.00 (who has that kind of disposable income anyway??), but never got around to it. :( There's no way in hell I'm paying this kind of money to get it now tho. :/

The second one use to be about 10 to 15 bucks brand new too >< But that was years ago
