>>11559146Around COVID 1/6th and Omnibus collecting exploded, with normalfas rushing in to buy whatever new toy. But they quickly got bored and didn't stick around, leading to tons of Endgame Hot Toys clogging the shelves. But a lot of them stuck around. The thing is, they're all secondaries and thus don't actually care for these characters beyond
>NEW THINGSo instead of waiting for the MCU or DCU or whatever to do their preferred costume from a particular era, instead of waiting for specific stories, instead of understanding the base truth that they'll keep churning these out with minor updates all the time, they just buy whatever's the newest and flashiest figure. But of course by the time it's out they've watched another 5 big Hollywood movies so now they want those new figures, so the moment they get what they've POed they sell them. And so on and so forth.
I frequent Reddit for new for such stuff, and they're all legitimately retarded people there. There's no actual decision making in their heads, they just go after whatever's the "hot new thing". The Omni subs specifically are the worst. I've seen people post shelves full of Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen Omnis without a single classic. I've seen people clamor to buy the Zeb Wells Spider-Man Omnis. This is legitimate mental retardation. The 1/6th subs aren't much better, they literally have 0 investment in these characters and just go after whatever's being pushed in marketing.
TL;DR There's no emotional investment into any character for these people, so they attracted to whatever's new, by the time they get in hand they've moved on to salivating over the new thing being marketed, so they endlessly sell and buy the same figures. They don't have a vision for what kind of a collection they want, they just randomly buy things and then smash them together in cheap cabinets.
