I remember when this figure would command well over 100.00 a pop. When most of the more common figures are now being listed for the big bucks this now seems to be a steal. Any idea why? Is this a new trend?

I'll tell my story about him. I collected the Sideshow figures in 2003 an 2004. I rarely paid more than 20.00 per figure. I got to the point where I only needed Dracula and the Red Death. In 2005 I was at the Toronto Comic Con and walked in and saw the Red Death hanging in a booth for a mere 15.00 Canadian!! I snatched him up right away. Then a few months later I was at the Motor City Comic Con and picked up Dracula for 15.00 too. Both were carded and both were going for over 100.00 on Ebay. That was my luckiest show hauls ever. I'd been watching this Red Death thinking about picking him up so I can display both heads (I have 2 of all the others like that but him) but I didn't want him 50.00 bad.
