6" Karate Kid Figures Coming From Icon Heroes

[JayC]

Looks like NECA isn't the only one getting in on The Karate Kid action as Icon Heroes has announced they are doing 6" action figures based on the original movie. The first two figures they are doing are Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence. The figures will feature 29 points of articulation and include additional heads & hands. Check out the image below.

I guess this is pretty cool... Especially given the popularity of the Kobra Kai series, which was all kinds of awesome.

I''ll be waiting for Mr. Miyagi.

These are looking pretty good, but I’ve never heard of this company before. 

[FASVB]

Now we are talking!

The neca ones are great, but out of scale for me

[InspectorZartan]

Do we know the price point or any other release information?

I think they mostly do Statues and busts—or at least that’s what I know them for (I have a couple of statues they’ve made for the Thundercats and the MOTU line).  They also always have a booth at SDCC that is right between NECA and Mezco.

These look pretty good but $40 each seems a bit expensive for 6" figures IMO.

Totally agree. The figures look very cool but 40 bucks is way too high. 30 would be more acceptable.

When I first saw these, the only thing I could think of was Shang Chi custom but at that price, nah.

[abnuggler]

Nice looking figures, Karate Kid was a big part of my childhood, still its not really something I ever thought I needed foor my collection, specially for $40 each.

[ebayoman]

At $40 each, will have to just get Daniel ... Johnny looks great but the pair for $80 ... too much 

[sXeblues]

I admit, I’m warming to the look of these... But, that price point can go *bleep* itself.

That’s my feeling.  I’m going to keep an eye on them to see if the price ever drops, but at $40 I think they’re a pass.  

[SpiderS]

Well.. People are paying 60-90 for Mafex, Figma, SHF figures, which are even smaller than 6 inch, and sometimes aren't always that superior in quality, so I guess it depends how good figures will be.

They look surprisingly good.

[Tracer]

These prices have got to stop. There is no reason these should be $40

[Tracer]

I completely agree on Super 7. I don't buy them either. These will undoubtedly look worse when they release too. Mcfarlane, Neca, Hasbro, Mattel all turn out better looking product at almost half the cost. No matter how you cut it, these KK figures are not worth $40. Limiting your run doesnt justify gouging.

[Belmont13]

They look pretty good but I dont love the movie that much to buy them. 

[mako]

40 bucks!?! Get real

It was bad enough when all these delusional rack-toy producers decided they could make action figures and play with the big boys. Now they all think by slapping a ridiculous price tag on them, and billing them as "Adult Collector" toys they'll become the next Fortune 500 company.

[InspectorZartan]

I suspected $40 would be the price point based on Icon Heroes other products.  They’ve put out some good product over the years (I feel like they live more in the statue/collectible space than they do in the action figure space) but that said I think $40 is going to be too high for me personally for this particular franchise.  There’s too many other things on my list to collect and budget for.
