I think we are already there in terms of numbers. There are a lot of collectors out there but our population is also much more spread out. Kids should still be the main focus but adults make buying decisions for them and even the average mom looks at cheaply made crap and thinks its overpriced. They try to steer kids towards things they think look like a better buy. Just overall numbers there are a lot more adult collectors than people want to give credit to. I don't think they are the driving force for most toy lines but they are a big chunk of certain ones. I think you can look at the figures that companies like Hasbro short pack because they kids won't want them and see they aren't meeting the demand of adult market. Look at the EU Star Wars stuff that's impossible to find or figures like Nova, Baghead, Deadpool, etc. Adult collectors and scalpers are buying those up. In contrast a figure like Astonishing Wolverine is wanted by pretty much everyone but that was never hard to find yet sold well. Maybe Hasbro wants their chase figures or maybe the boss just wants as little risk as possible and anything that isn't known to them gets shorted.
