Superman,spiderman, wolverine etc appeal to kids and adults alike so the selling potential/ target audience is greater.

Toys that have increased in value were relatively cheap when they were first released. Kids played the heck out of them. 30 years later its really hard to find those toys in good condition so they are worth more money. The ones that were of timeless characters are anyway.

Niche toys don't follow this proven fomula at all. They are expensive and kids don't play with them. Therefore, 30 years from now, anyone who might want them, most likely already has pristine un-played with renditions of them.

I could be wrong, but only time will tell. Maybe these niche toys will behave differently than history has taught us.
