I still think there were less collector's in the 90's overall. I mean you still had your hardcore toy collectors of course, but nowadays it feels like there are just so many more collectors out there. I didn't buy a single toy in the 90's... mostly because just from a single glance the figures looked like crap... I mean the sculpts looked ugly... especially the faces. Then 2008-ish happened and it was a whole new ballgame with 25th Joes, SW Clone Wars & 3.75" Marvel Universe. And then fast-forward to now... retail action figures and toys just look so good now. I don't even collect Transformers, but I bought Studio 86 Hot Rod and Kingdom Galvatron and Cyclonus just because the sculpts were that good. The engineering of current toys is really impressive IMO that even casual collectors are drawn in.
