I think that the adult collector market is quite large. There is proof of that with all the adult focused lines we get and statues and random expensive junk. That doesn't always mean that a line will have a lot of adult buyers though. There are a lot of kid lines out there and when it comes to Marvel the stuff that seems to warm the most is what didn't attract the collector market, as in movie lines like assemblers or Thor. I'm sure there is more to it than that but when it comes to figures it doesn't seem the junks sells well to kids (or their parents) and we don't even look twice at it. I know the figure lines that seem to be mostly targeted at kids are almost always in stock at stores where stuff like MU and ML actually can be hard to come by. You don't have any trouble finding TMNT, Power Rangers, or whatever the newest fad cartoon is and know many of those lines aren't making tons of money. Those lines have much fewer characters and seem to ship in enough numbers while MU, certain Transformers, and a lot of the Star Wars vintage collection stuff gets sold pretty fast (EP. 1 wave excluded). Clearly the buyers are out there, in every city, if a company can attract them. They just need to keep kids and their parents buying as well, which doesn't seem to be a big problem for MU.
