Whether or not you sub is dependent on how many of the figures you want. I started this line by only buying a few of the characters that I had as a kid. But the more I bought the more into the line I became. I started having to play catch up and buy earlier releases on eBay. Thankfully, at that time, most of the figures were still fairly easy to get for a good price. I began to really appreciate each figure on their own merits and even figures I thought I would hate I actually ended up really liking (like Snout Spout, for example). The only figures I don't really care for are the original characters from the 200X series (Faceless One, Dekker, Count Marzo). I just never cared for the aesthetic from that series.
This will be my third year in a row subbing and, in my opinion, it is completely worth it. Again, I'm interested in having every figure, so subbing really is the only way to do that without having to pay a small fortune for the club exclusive figure. Plus, there has been an increasing amount of monthly released figures that are not even available day-of-sale, so again, subbing is the way to ensure you get them all.
Digital River. I have read countless complaints and rants about them. I personally have had zero issues with them. I had to change shipping address one time so I had to call them up, give them the order number and the new shipping address and it was updated without any hiccup at all. My Procrustus figure arrived with a broken arm. I called them up, explained the situation and they mailed me a brand new one with a return label to send back the broken one. Again, it was really painless. Other than those instances, my figures arrive safe and sound and in perfect condition every month. The shipping cost is high. Digital River is definitely making a nice profit by tacking on a substantial fee.
The figures being released in 2014 are off to a really strong start. I cannot wait to see who else is revealed to come out for the year, but if you are a fan of the vintage MOTU toys, then this is a good year to sub if you can afford it. Again, everything I've written is my personal opinion and my specific experience. At the end of the day, I recommend that you sub.
