How To Achieve Your Goals

My Chemical Romance action figures are red hot! Since their release by SEG Toys in late 2005, the collectible prices of My Chemical Romance action figures have been rising faster than the band’s 2004 ascent to teen punk stardom. The action figures are no longer available through most traditional retail chains and where ever they do show up, they are being quickly snatched up by My Chemical Romance fans, collectors, and investor’s alike. According to one teen on a My Chemical Romance band chat site, “Just forget about it! It’s impossible to get these figures unless your parents have a truck full of money.” Well, she’s right! It is not unheard of for the entire band five figure set of My Chemical Romance action figures to sell for about $500.

Just as he does in the band, My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way is leading the band’s action figure popularity contest. According to the music action figure price guide at Rock-n-Roll-Action-Figures.com, the average selling price of the Gerard Way action figure is somewhere around $180.00. Wow! Coming in at a not too shabby second place are the Mikey Way action figures currently selling for around $120.00 each. The other members of My Chemical Romance have no reason to be disappointed. The Bob Bryar, Ray Toro, and Frank Iero My Chemical Romance figures are valued somewhere in the $55.00 range. Not a bad return for some figures that originally retailed for $14.99! For a lucky number of collectors, it get’s even better. One out of every 100 My Chemical Romance action figures released by SEG Toys were packaged variant figures. These stylized variant figures featured the band members as zombies. These zombie figures are typically selling for about twice the price of the originally released My Chemical Romance action figures. That puts the collectible value of a complete set of zombie variant figures of the band near an ice cold $1000!

The My Chemical Romance figures were originally released in 2005 at Hot Topic and Spencer Gift stores. The Hot Topic figures came complete with a “prayer card” designed by band front man Gerard Way. The Spencer Gifts figures included limited-edition Jim Dunlop guitar picks as an accessory for each figure.

Each My Chemical Romance action figure from SEG Toys stands about 4.75” tall and features 16 points of articulation. Accessories include a red handgun and a coffin for each figure…weird!
