This is where I feel the Star Trek line is going to go, which besides the wonky body styles, is the biggest reason I'm not even thinking about biting on that one.

Even though I as of now have no Thundercats, I did bite on the Cat's Lair, just because it was so impressive and I expected the price to be way worse if they ever did it. It's going to be a companion to my Matty Grayskull and the S7 Snake Mountain, and between now and when it comes out I'll collect just the main cats when I find them at a good price. It's going to make for some great cross-overs.

That said, I have a hard time going in on other Super7 stuff, and both the price and character selection are the issue. And after seeing what has happened with The Simpsons, I'd have to think very long and hard before I go in with any other line with them in the future.

They make cool looking figures, no doubt - but their price/selection model just seems to be very conflicted - they are trying to stretch out the main characters too far for more casual collectors to be interested (the Simpsons waves were just nonsensical to me) but at the same time position themselves to really only appeal to hard-core all-in collectors who are dumping $250 per wave which isn't going to attract the fans of those franchises who actually want all those one-off characters with the price point as high as it is.

Basically, they are going for these really high profile (and expensive) licenses, but managing them like they are smaller properties in a pseudo-subscription service like Matty used to be.
