Also, they are raising their prices in the "collectors" division to near Integrity and Petworks, based solenely on their marketing/branding (Hey! It's Barbie, don't you just love her?) without half of the quality, or designing competence. Not to mention they make a scandal with their "it's so limited", "it A PLATINUM" blablabla, when those brands make even more limited editions without half the scandal or vacuous buzz.
They are like Disney, and I kinda don't get why someone would buy their products just for passion of 1/6 fashion miniature, since there is none, all I'm seeing is merchandising "merchandising". And it's kinda tacky.
