Oh, I can definitely imagine that

. I found out that Bandai Japan makes some great playline action figures, they're quite expensive I have to admit, but worth the price. I just got Kaman Rider Brave, he cost about 25$ when I bought him and he is beautifully sculpted and painted, well articulated and have very soiled feeling. It may be just 5$ more then Marvel Legends, but it's at least 10 times better in quailty terms. Maybe you could find some good toys for your kids in the new toy department of hobby search HobbySearch Toy Store

Oh well, all it really means is that I have more money for NECA & DCC and can continue not even bothering with Walmart, Target, etc. I shop at TRU & online stores.

I don't loathe Marvel, but I sure love DC more and it's indeed sucks how DC toys are inferior.

Unfortunately with Mattel and Hasbro monopoly on the toy market, they don't have much of a reason to compete better:/. On the bright side, though, I think at some point Mattel and other deteriorating toy companies will have to step up their game or go bankrupt.

Yeah, more money for actual well made toys
