Problem is, they put out 20 items, 1 is something I'd buy. So it's out there, but just not as easy to find anymore. You have to pick individual items from multiple companies rather than just following Company 1 Line A for 10 years.

And... the cost is going up for all of it.

But, I am ok with that for collector, smaller run pieces. I would prefer them to get the figure right and charge more, print less. Better than cutting back on things like paint and articulation to hit a price point so you can sell 2,000,000 units. Most of which will not sell, be discounted out, and lead to the company not purchasing future waves, effectively killing the line.

Capo, DC Collectibles, Funko Legacy, NECA, DST - they all upped their game, and I'm happy to give them some of my dollars this year rather than running completionist on Transformers or GI Joe.

Game has changed, I'm gonna try and find the gems and fill these shelves. Curate, don't hoard.
Good post Tony, very true!
