So I was wondering if there was even a small market for some other stuff like, just off the top of my head, Lunch from Dragon Ball or Brisco County Jr?

12" is a hard market. DC Giants of Justice and Marvel Legends Icons were some cool figs, but most of them top out in value around $15-$30 on the secondary market. It is hard to deliver 12-inch figs at a $30-$40 price point that have any articulation. Above that price point, 12-inch figs really have to feature a character with high demand.

I loved Brisco County, Jr. but even I wouldn't go after an expensive 12" fig from the series.

That said, there are some cool affordable 12-inch figs out there. Some of the ML Icons are pretty cool (Steve Rogers, Colossus, Brown & Yellow Wolverine). I like SDCC Flash, Cyborg Superman, and the black & gray Batman that comes with all the gadgets.
