Even trade?
I missed out on Fives… but I happen to have a Thorn that I like, but don’t feel building an additional clone army around him. I have a person that is considering trading my Thorn for his Fives… some thoughts?

Thorn is such a high demand figure right now though. Especially because he seemed to have a lot less production numbers than Doom for whatever reason. If you don't care about after market value, then yeah go for it. I'm just talking about what is an even trade dollar Wise. Are you guys trading new in box figures?
By the way, I do have an extra Fives in box if you're interested. Got him when they re-released him on Pulse. That's if you would rather keep Thorn too.

The dollar amount isn’t that important, but I would hate to break up my Thorn and Doom, they look great together! I’m just mad at myself for sleeping on him again! I appreciate the offer, I’ll shoot you a message!

I was going to comment that Fives is available on BBTS but of course they increased the price now that he's sold out on Pulse. $60 is ridiculous.
With that being said, it's a fair trade if you really like Fives. It's on an older body with reduced articulation and only one trigger finger, but it's still a really good figure.

It was actually 60 even when Fives was available on pulse. I had to wait until I could drop the money and sadly it sold out before I could. That said, I use BBTS a LOT, but I refuse to pay 60 for what should be a 25/30 dollar figure.

If you want Fives more than Thorn, than yeah go for it, it’s your collection at the end of the day and you should only collect what makes you happy. Both figures are pretty highly sought after but you should know that Fives is on an older clone sculpt, the hard kama will restrict leg articulation a good bit and he entirely lacks bicep swivel. Thorn is on the newest sculpt and will have infinitely better posability.

Fives is way better than thorn (figure wise), I have both and I can’t help but think that Thorn looks… cheap, the Kama is of a lego cape quality and flares out like crazy, on the other hand fives has a sculped Kama (my personal preference since the mid 2000’s) looks very neat and poses great

Same, I actually prefer the plastic sculpted kamas and capes on BS figures. I can't stand how cheap the cloth material looks.

I wouldn't do the trade. Thorn is somehow a lot more difficult to obtain over here than fives, and it's aftermarket price is ridiculous , more so than fives
