See here's my thing about subscriptions: I have never owned any MOTUC or Voltron, but I've been collecting DCUC for a while, so I'll say it from that perspective: I have no desire to pay for a subscription, when the majority of figures are ones I have no interest in, especially since I have to buy all of them. I don't mind paying for quality (I frequently pay top dollar for the high end toys). The thing about DCUC, is that I am not paying to buy every figure in a line where it is full of frankenfigures with very little evolution or imagination to them. I know body parts swapping is nothing new, but this is ridiculous. Nothing in the new 2013 sub is exciting at all. I don't mind higher prices - heck, charge $5 per figure more. whatever. So long as I get quality: new sculpts, accessories, etc. Instead, we get rising costs on figures (thanks to inflation) that are basically the EXACT same as they were back in the DCSH line. I know superheroes don't come with many accessories, but be imaginative.

Instead, what are they doing? Begging people to buy the same stuff they created five years ago. Whatever. I'm over it. Clearly other collectors are the same way, considering the reluctance for fans to re-up their subs. Money is tight for everyone these days. More and more people are being smarter with their money, and if you want your product to sell, it has to be current, it has to be innovative, and it has to be what people want. Sorry, but another Flash repaint? Not interested, bro. Imagine another company (Apple, Ford, Sony, Armani, etc) basically putting a youtube video up begging people to buy. Sheesh. If you're gonna do that, at least throw in some hot girls or something.
