Space is available, more collectors will exist, and the boom strikes again.

Also imagine this middle generation becoming adults and collecting again. For most of us now the same thing happened and soon all those reviving properties from childhood like skylanders or Ben 10 or whenever it was then I didn’t get into because of that gap comes back. There’s no adult stuff for a lot of those “kid” properties. Which means many empty shelves to fill at home and young adults with the budget to pay for it. And so on. Maybe in ten years we’ll finally get the SH figuarts turtles as a final hoorah!

Idk where the “more collectors” belief comes from. Most countries that have collectors are facing some population crashes on top of everything else. The company will probably continue, but it’ll be a long while before they get back what they had.
