Toy companies are always being paid to make a product. Usually it's the store and then the end customer needs to make do with the inventory they ordered.

The problem with the kickstarter model is of course you miss out on that period of time. Vs having until inventory runs out. Additionally you may trust say BBTS to process your order then Mcfarlane.

I don't think Mcfarlane has made products where the kickstarter model would be better. They aren't insanely large or so out there. These items would certainly sell well online or in a physical store.

Then statues are a fair point. If Mcfarlane wants to make statues, then make statues. Make the best statue that can with arms/legs you can swap out. Don't bother messing around with the articulation.

Otherwise make the best posable figure possible, especially with a kickstarter campaign which should be encouraging them to make a product not feasible at a normal retail price.
