still don't necessarily agree that a big company like hasbro needs to crowdfund but that's another topic for another day

i'm glad the fans that really want this are gonna get it now and be able to add it to their collections

I don't quite see it as crowdfunding, I more see it like: there are some items that Hasbro knows wouldn't do very well at retail due to size and cost so they don't wanna produce as many as would be required were they to do a full retail production run, but they also don't wanna just put it up for preorder without a limit and do as many as they get preorders for, as there might not be as much demand as they thought and so not enough orders to fully make back what they spent on the molds and rest of the production, so this essentially lets them produce just as many as they need to for it to actually be financially worth it without having them sit in stores for years or having to worry about losing money on putting out a product that there wasn't as much demand for as they expected.
