NECA, DC Collectibles, and others that are on par are just now getting to the point where they can do full detailed sculpts with awesome paint AND articulation. For a reasonable price.

Even NECA and then Mezco were delivering the same staction figures when they first came out with their horror stuff, once McFarlane scaled back and then quit. Mcfarlane basically created the "adult collectibles" market in the toy aisles. Before that, toy collectors were buying toys. Flash forward 15 years and yeah, some people were leaving McFarlane stuff on the pegs, because of articulation. So, maybe some lost money there, but he has said that the color tops line was highly profitable. Stores were buying it up, even if the consumers weren't.

Pretty much all of this.
Lets give credit where credit is due.
This man CHANGED THE GAME.

I actually have two Spawn figures that have been on display SINCE purchase because they have always been my favorites.
I had one figure that came in like this plastic casing, he came with a wolf.. it was actually my FAVORITE all time figure for years. Until fucking Hurricane Sandy..and it was mostly destroyed.

I think Malbolgia (splchk) was one of the first chase/hard to get figures I remember looking for. I think it was like 40.00 at one point which was INSANE for a figure back then. I also remember my son's mother threw him out of the window one day when she was mad at me...awwwwww they know how to hurt ya..ha!!

My Creech figure is still dope!!



Although now-adays his figures are kinda hit and miss with me.
I did love the Walking dead 5" line and collected most of them. But these color top things...ehhhhh... i purchased the Gears of Wars sets because i love that IP. Those Figures sucked though and TO THIS DAY they still can't even hold their STACTION figure pose properly. The only one that was fine was marcus.
I saw the COD figs two days ago and couldn't bring myself to get em even though they were only 15.00 on sale. Close but..ehhhhhhh.
