Hardcore collectors will still buy them and maybe all those people who won't even collect the big stuff might buy in. Especially if it brings down costs.

What Mattel bizzarely doesn't understand is that they for one– need to build up (vertically) not laterally. People only have so much horizontal table space.

W/ that being said, Snake Lair looks underscaled to me (much like Snake Mnt is). Furthermore, WHY ISOLATE YOUR CROWD FUND PROJECT TO ONLY ORIGINS COLLECTORS? Ya know, like they were at A Mattel marketing meeting early in the process, an someone said; "if our Target market is this pie chart, lets go hard after that 18% slice." And the team lead was like "Brilliant idea Mac!"
Thus, completly ignoring the Masterverse collectors & the Motu classics fanbase. Which also defaults too avoiding GI JOE CLASSIFIED collectors, Mythic Legions & Marvel Legends people, plus NECA D&D etc.
So,,,,,,
Why not go after some of those fanbase interests & money?? Which is all possible, via scaling up your Snake Lair playset another inch & half (or whatever). I DON'T GET IT!? These Motu brand managers must be some of the biggest inept derelicts– working in corporate America!

Mythic Legion customizers are literally buying the $200 Barbie 'Dream mansion' (on Target shelves) & re-working it & repainting it; because its scaled to 7-8" figures. Like I said already; "I don't get it!" Making A proper modular fantasy framed play-set w/ A couple of tall towers; that can connect on the sides of A battlement & drawbridge– isn't rocket sciene (for A corporation like Mattel anyways).
