But Batman isn't selling, at least in my area. My stores have been clogged with multiple Batman figures just collecting dust.

Another issue is how bad some of the figures are proportionately. Like my stores have a Flash figure that looks like he is Bane wearing a Flash costume due to how large his muscles are. Flash is not supposed to look like he is 400 pounds of muscle.

Meanwhile, people on the Internet have reported seeing as many as 36 King Shazam figures sitting on shelves inside Target or Walmart stores.
I don't know what King Shazam is, but my Walmarts have like 10 Joker looking Robins on their pegs along with a few Batmans and Supermans.

Other pegwarmers include Batgirl, the first Joker they did, helmetless Shriek, helmetless Peacemaker, Hawk Girl Wonder Woman cosplay, Wonder Woman 84, Blight, a really grundgy looking Superman, and JLU Flash.

Well, you collect what you want to collect, and everyone else will collect what they want. Again, "classic" isn't always desirable. Riddler has worn costumes with question marks all over his body. I would never buy a figure or statue based on those.
Fair enough, but honestly, I'm speaking for myself, not others.

Which is funny because any time I'm at a store and a parent is with their kid looking at a Legend or MacFarlane figure I often hear, "That toy is too expensive, go with one that is cheaper."
