Ok, am I the only one that finds it hilarious that people are going ga-ga over buying multiples (many times over) of the Dani fig? Beyond the lazy factor that people once-upon-a-time complained about, swapping heads and other bits to kitbash figures Hasbro couldn't be bothered to make proper iterations for is now a privilege? Adding insult to injury, this fig was made into an exclusive lacquering on an additional layer of difficulty to procurement, while simultaneously feeding the uber popular secondhand price gouging market. I get that people view this as a win considering that characters like Karma were unlikely to get a Legends berth, but c'mon...it was only a few scant months ago that people groused about the insidious nature of utilizing this strategy with such a coveted character. Now we embrace a 180 degree turn with collectors gleefully highlighting their hauls of what was openly regarded as a gimmick by Hasbro to both save AND make money?

That telltale clacking in the background is the sound of the bar getting lowered by yet a few more rungs. I mean, sure, I've enjoyed my fair share of prescient moments throughout the years, but I can't be the only one experiencing a sinking feeling in their gut that following the Endgame Quantum suits and this latest Dani effort (non-effort) that this could be swiftly becoming the new normal...

There's a good amount of chatter nowadays that we are getting what we deserve as Americans in a number of ways. This feels like some more of the same.

EDIT:No offense is intended by this post, I really do find it all humorous and it's just an observation with an unsolicited opinion tacked on.
