I think that one of the huge problems that killed toys in the '90s was when Mcfarlane toys heavily enforced variant toys. What started as a paint mishap turned into "let's make thirteen of one character" and then let's mass produce them beyond demand and then people will buy stupid amounts of them because toys from the '70s are expensive now so clearly these will be too. EXTREME!!!

I think that today's play toys are not so much disappointing as they are lapsing back to what they used to be, we were spoiled by those super articulated toys so now the return to actual play toys is an apparent decline in standards. I think it may be that those super articulated toys were the peak of what some of these toy lines could do and it got to be too much so a return to basics was in order.

I will say that adult collectible toys are better than ever now with a much wider selection of companies and more diverse licenses than ever before. Let's just hope we don't get a '90s style collapse any time soon.
